Abstract

Liver peroxisomes were prepared by using a Percoll gradient in a vertical rotor. beta-Oxidation was measured in peroxisomes isolated from livers of rats fed on either high-(15% by wt.) or low- (5% by wt.) fat diets. The feeding of high-fat diets gave a 1.4-2.4-fold increase in total liver peroxisomal beta-oxidation, and a similar increase in specific activity. A 1.5-4.5-fold increase was seen in the specific activity of purified peroxisomal preparations. The reasons for these increases are discussed.
