The purpose of this work was to evaluate biliary phosphatidylcholine (PC) secretion after intravenous infusion of high density lipoprotein (HDL)-[3H]phosphatidylcholine (HDL-[3H]PC) in rats and to study the effect of infusion of dehydrocholic and cholic acids, which, respectively, inhibit and stimulate biliary secretion of PC. The data obtained in this study showed that, in the basal state, HDL-PC accounted for 38% of biliary PC. Dehydrocholic acid infusion caused only a "residual" secretion of HDL-PC in the bile; however, cholic acid infusion stimulated the secretion of HDL-PC as well as PC from intrahepatic microsomes. The low level of radioactivity of HDL-PC in intrahepatic compartments suggests that HDL-PC taken up by the liver is predestined for the bile secretion. The correlation between the kinetics of bile secretion of HDL-cholesterol and HDL-[3H]PC suggests the importance of HDL-PC in reverse transport of cholesterol to the liver and its transport to the bile. The differences between the effects of dehydrocholic acid and cholic acid infusions can be explained by the differences in bile salts binding to the surface of HDL.
