AbstractThe effect of selenium supplement on glycerolipid biosynthesis in the isolated rat heart was investigated. Selenium was administered to the rat by intraperitoneal injection of 4.33 μmol/kg per day for 3 consecutive days. Animals administered with an equal volume of saline were used as controls. Hearts from both animal groups were perfused in Krebs-Henseleit buffer containing labelled glycerol. Subsequent to perfusion, the radioactivity associated with each glycerolipid group was determined. Selenium supplement caused elevations in the labelling of phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylcholine but not in other phospholipids, diacylglycerol or triacylglycerol. The mechanisms for the enhancement of labelling into phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylcholine were examined. The activity of the enzymes responsible for the synthesis of phosphatidic acid in the rat heart was not changed by selenium supplement. However, a 51% increase in the acyl-CoA level was detected which might account for the elevated labelling of phosphatidic acid in the selenium supplemented animal. The 2-fold increase in the activity of CDPcholine:diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase might also account for the increase in the labelling of phosphatidylcholine in the heart of the selenium-supplemented rat. It is clear from this study that selenium plays a regulatory role in the control of cellular lipid metabolism.
