Abstract Experiments on rats showed that inclusion of sucrose in the composition of diets with a high or normal carbohydrate content accelerates synthesis of apoproteins of pre-β-lipoproteins in the liver and their loading with endogenously formed lipids and facilitates the more rapid secretion of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLP) into the blood stream and a raised blood triglyceride level. However, the rate of complex formation between lipids and protein of the pre-β-lipoproteins in the liver also depends on the relative proportions of the carbohydrate and lipid components in the diet. On a diet with sucrose in which the ratio between carbohydrates and fats is physiological (2∶1), a lower level of lipid loading of the apoproteins of pre-β-lipoproteins is found, with a consequent increase in the lipid content in the liver.
