Isopropanol administration (3 g/kg, p.o.) determines in the rat liver an inhibition of fatty acid oxidation, an enhancement of fatty acid esterification into triacylglycerols as well as an inhibition of lipoprotein secretion which appears to be related to alterations in hepatic phospholipids and which differentiates isopropanol from ethanol induced fatty liver. Disturbances in peripheral lipolysis following isopropanol administration are found only in mature rats and are not necessary to the fatty liver induction.
