TL;DR: The results of the experiments described herein suggest that the role of a high fat diet in the rerepression of the genes which code for G6PD and ME is to provide either the corepressor (s) or a precursor of the core pressor(s).
Abstract: SummaryThe results of the experiments described herein suggest that the role of a high fat diet in the rerepression of the genes which code for G6PD and ME is to provide either the corepressor(s) or a precursor of the corepressor(s). It appears that this substance is not normally present in rat liver, despite the large accumulation of fat which occurs after starvation and refeeding an inducer diet. Synthesis of the aporepressor(s) or an enzyme system necessary for the formation of the corepressor(s), or both, requires dietary protein but not carbohydrate.
