Mixed-function oxidation of p-nitroanisole in isolated perfused livers from fasted rats was studied in the presence and absence of 2-bromooctanoate, an inhibitor of the beta-oxidation of acyl CoA compounds. These experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that reducing equivalents

1. The induction of peroxisomal beta-oxidation activities by bezafibrate in cultured rat hepatocytes and in the rat in vivo was prevented by inhibitors of carnitine acyltransferase, e.g. 2-bromopalmitate, 2-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)pentyl]oxirane-2-carboxylate or 2-tetradecylglycidic acid. 2.

The limiting role of diacylglycerol acyltransferase with respect to triacylglycerol synthesis in cultured rat hepatocytes was evaluated by following the inhibition of the overall synthetic flux by 2-bromooctanoate acting as an inhibitor of the diacylglycerol acyltransferase step.
