Abstract

A dietary regimen which induces hepatic fatty acyl desaturase activities increases the lipid fluidity of hepatocyte plasma membranes, both in normal rats and in animals treated with ethinyl estradiol to produce cholestasis. In the cholestatic animals the fluidity change is accompanied by a significant increase in bile flow rate of approx. 33%.
