Competition for uptake between long-chain free fatty acids has been difficult to document, because there has been no algorithm for computing unbound concentrations of two fatty acids simultaneously in solution with albumin. We modified an iterative procedure to permit this computation and studied initial [3H]oleate uptake by isolated hepatocytes and steady-state uptake by the single-pass perfused rat liver from 600 microM bovine serum albumin solutions containing various concentrations of oleate in the presence and absence of palmitate. In both systems, the Michaelis-Menten constant was significantly higher in the presence of palmitate than in its absence, whereas the maximal reaction velocity was unaltered, indicating competitive inhibition. In additional experiments employing the multiple transhepatic indicator-dilution technique, the influx rate constant and permeability-surface area product for oleate influx were significantly reduced by palmitate, confirming that the competition observed in the conventional perfused liver studies was at the influx step. Long-chain fatty acid uptake has now been shown to exhibit all the kinetic properties of facilitated transport and cannot be attributed solely to passive diffusion.
