The pituitary is important in the control of lipid metabolism and studies of hypophysectomized (Hx) rats have shown strong effects of growth hormone (GH) on bile acid synthesis, hepatic LDL receptor (LDLR) expression and on the sensitivity to dietary cholesterol. It is unclear if mice may be used in such studies. The aim of the current study was to evaluate if Hx mice may be used to further explore how GH modulates cholesterol and bile acid metabolism, and to define the importance of the LDLR in this regulation by studying LDLR-deficient mice (LDLRko). Experiments on three mouse strains showed that, following Hx, HDL were reduced and LDL increased. Cholesterol/fat feeding of Hx mice increased serum cholesterol levels 2- to 3-fold. Serum triglycerides were reduced 50% in Hx mice; a further 30% reduction was seen after dietary cholesterol/fat. A serum marker for CYP7A1-mediated bile acid synthesis (C4) increased 2-fold in intact mice on cholesterol/fat diet. In Hx mice C4 levels were reduced by 50% as compared to intact controls, but were unexpectedly increased to levels seen in normal mice upon cholesterol/fat feeding. Hx of LDLRko mice moderately increased LDL-cholesterol and reduced triglycerides and GH treatment attenuated these effects; serum C4 levels were increased by GH treatment in all groups. In conclusion, mice can be used to explore the role of the pituitary in lipid metabolism. CYP7A1 is generally reduced in Hx mice but has a normal stimulatory response following dietary cholesterol suggesting that faulty regulation of CYP7A1 is not important for the reduced resistance to dietary cholesterol in Hx mice. Further, the LDLR is only to a minor part involved in the pituitary regulation of serum cholesterol in mice. 相似文献

The experiments performed in this report were designed to investigate the mechanisms involved in the metabolic alterations associated with orotic acid-induced hepatic steatosis and the effect of fenofibrate, a stimulant of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha), on these alterations. Male Wistar rats were divided into three experimental groups: 1) fed a balanced diet (C); 2) fed a balanced diet supplemented with 1% orotic acid (OA); 3) fed OA diet containing 100 mg.kg(-1) bw.day(-1) fenofibrate (OA+F), for 9 days. Administration of OA to rats induced significant increase in the hepatic total lipids content, marked microvesicular steatosis and decrease in plasma lipids concentrations compared to control group. Fenofibrate treatment prevented fatty liver induction, caused an additional reduction on plasma lipids concentrations and caused a 40% decrease in the lipogenic rate in adipose tissue. The results also showed a 40% increase in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in adipose tissue from OA treated group and fenofibrate administration induced a 50% decrease in LPL activity. The liver mRNA expression of PPARalpha and ACO (acyl CoA oxidase) were 85% and 68% decreased in OA group when compared to control, respectively. Fenofibrate treatment increased the PPARalpha and ACO expressions whereas the CPT-1 (carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1) expression was not altered. Our results have shown that fenofibrate treatment decreases the hepatic lipid content induced by OA which is mediated by an important increase in fatty acid oxidation consequent to an increase in hepatic mRNA expression of PPARalpha and ACO. 相似文献

The importance of insulin for the in vivo effects of growth hormone (GH) on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism was investigated by examining the effects of GH treatment of hypophysectomized (Hx) female rats with and without concomitant insulin treatment. Hypophysectomy-induced changes of HDL, apolipoprotein (apo)E, LDL, and apoB levels were normalized by GH treatment but not affected by insulin treatment. The hepatic triglyceride secretion rate was lower in Hx rats than in normal rats and increased by GH treatment. This effect of GH was blunted by insulin treatment. The triglyceride content in the liver changed in parallel with the changes in triglyceride secretion rate, indicating that the effect of the hormones on triglyceride secretion was dependent on changed availability of triglycerides for VLDL assembly. GH and insulin independently increased editing of apoB mRNA, but the effects were not additive. The expression of fatty-acid synthase (FAS), stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD-1), and sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) was increased by GH treatment. Insulin and GH had no additive effects on these genes; instead, insulin blunted the effect of GH on SREBP-1c mRNA. In contrast to the liver, adipose tissue expression of SREBP-1c, FAS, or SCD-1 mRNA was not influenced by GH. In conclusion, the increased hepatic expression of lipogenic enzymes after GH treatment may be explained by increased expression of SREBP-1c. Insulin does not mediate the effects of GH but inhibits the stimulatory effect of GH on hepatic SREBP-1c expression and triglyceride secretion rate. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of dietary fatty acids of different chain lengths during pregnancy in the rat on the susceptibility of offspring to later-life obesity and the underlying mechanisms. Pregnant rats were fed three different diets: standard (STD), high medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA); and high long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). The male offspring were assigned to three groups: STD control, MCFA and LCFA according to the maternal diets and suckled by dams fed with STD during pregnancy and lactation. After weaning, the offspring were fed with STD from 3 to 8 weeks of age. At the age of 8 weeks, rats in three groups: high-fat diet (HFD) control, MCFA and LCFA were fed with HFD until 14 weeks of age in an attempt to induce obesity, and rats in the HFD control group were selected randomly from the STD control group. Body weight and body fat content were decreased in the MCFA group accompanied by down-regulated mRNA expression of fatty acid synthase and acetyl-coA carboxylase 1, and increased mRNA and protein expression of adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 and uncoupling protein 3 compared with the corresponding controls at 3, 8 and 14 weeks of age. The results suggested that the MCFA diet during pregnancy prevented later-life obesity in the offspring when they were exposed to HFD in later life, which might be related to programming of the expression of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism. 相似文献

The effect of the degree of dietary fat saturation on the hepatic expression of apolipoprotein A-I mRNA was studied in male rats. Animals were maintained for two months on a high fat diet (40% w/w) containing 0.1% cholesterol. Two groups of control animals received either chow diet or chow plus 0.1% cholesterol, while experimental groups received their fat supplement as coconut, corn or olive oil respectively. Dietary cholesterol did not affect apolipoprotein A-I mRNA levels as compared to control animals. Corn oil fed animals had significantly higher levels of hepatic apolipoprotein A-I mRNA than those receiving cholesterol, or coconut oil plus cholesterol. Olive oil fed animals had significantly higher levels of hepatic apolipoprotein A-I mRNA when compared to all other dietary groups. Our data indicate that monounsaturated fatty acids supplied as olive oil play a major role in regulating the hepatic expression of apolipoprotein A-I in male rats. 相似文献

Fenofibrate and rosiglitazone lower serum triglycerides with opposing effects on body weight 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Activators of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) are effective drugs to improve the metabolic abnormalities linking hypertriglyceridemia to diabetes, hyperglycemia, insulin-resistance, and atherosclerosis. We compared the pharmacological profile of a PPARalpha activator, fenofibrate, and a PPARgamma activator, rosiglitazone, on serum parameters, target gene expression, and body weight gain in (fa/fa) fatty Zucker rats and db/db mice as well as their association in db/db mice. Fenofibrate faithfully modified the expression of PPARalpha responsive genes. Rosiglitazone increased adipose tissue aP2 mRNA in both models while increasing liver acyl CoA oxidase mRNA in db/db mice but not in fatty Zucker rats. Both drugs lowered serum triglycerides yet rosiglitazone markedly increased body weight gain while fenofibrate decreased body weight gain in fatty Zucker rats. KRP 297, which has been reported to be a PPARalpha and gamma co-activator, also affected serum triglycerides and insulin in fatty Zucker rats although no change in body weight gain was noted. These results serve to clearly differentiate the metabolic finality of two distinct classes of drugs, as well as their corresponding nuclear receptors, having similar effects on serum triglycerides. 相似文献

Levan or high molecular beta-2,6-linked fructose polymer is produced extracellularly from sucrose-based substrates by bacterial levansucrase. In the present study, to investigate the effect of levan feeding on serum leptin, hepatic lipogenic enzyme and peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha expression in high-fat diet-induced obese rats, 4-week-old Sprague-Dawley male rats were fed high-fat diet (beef tallow, 40% of calories as fat), and, 6 weeks later, the rats were fed 0%, 1%, 5% or 10% levan-supplemented diets for 4 weeks. Serum leptin and insulin level were dose dependently reduced in levan-supplemented diet-fed rats. The mRNA expressions of hepatic fatty acid synthase and acetyl CoA carboxylase, which are the key enzymes in fatty acid synthesis, were down-regulated by dietary levan. However, dietary levan did not affect the gene expression of hepatic malic enzyme, phosphatidate phosphohydrolase and HMG CoA reductase. Also, the lipogenic enzyme gene expression in the white adipose tissue (WAT) was not affected by the diet treatments. However, hepatic PPARalpha mRNA expression was dose dependently up-regulated by dietary levan, whereas PPARgamma in the WAT was not changed. The results suggest that the in vivo hypolipidemic effect of dietary levan, including anti-obesity and lipid-lowering, may result from the inhibition of lipogenesis and stimulation of lipolysis, accompanied with regulation of hepatic lipogenic enzyme and PPARalpha gene expression. 相似文献

The proposed mechanism for the triglyceride (TG) lowering by fibrate drugs is via activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha). Here we show that a PPARalpha agonist, ureido-fibrate-5 (UF-5), approximately 200-fold more potent than fenofibric acid, exerts TG-lowering effects (37%) in fat-fed hamsters after 3 days at 30 mg/kg. In addition to lowering hepatic apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III) gene expression by approximately 60%, UF-5 induces hepatic mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) expression. A 3-wk rising-dose treatment results in a greater TG-lowering effect (70%) at 15 mg/kg and a 2.3-fold elevation of muscle CPT I mRNA levels, as well as effects on hepatic gene expression. UF-5 also stimulated mitochondrial [3H]palmitate beta-oxidation in vitro in human hepatic and skeletal muscle cells 2.7- and 1.6-fold, respectively, in a dose-related manner. These results suggest that, in addition to previously described effects of fibrates on apoC-III expression and on peroxisomal fatty acid (FA) beta-oxidation, PPARalpha agonists stimulate mitochondrial FA beta-oxidation in vivo in both liver and muscle. These observations suggest an important mechanism for the biological effects of PPARalpha agonists. 相似文献

Endocannabinoids and N-acylethanolamines are lipid mediators regulating a wide range of biological functions including food intake. We investigated short-term effects of feeding rats five different dietary fats (palm oil (PO), olive oil (OA), safflower oil (LA), fish oil (FO) and arachidonic acid (AA)) on tissue levels of 2-arachidonoylglycerol, anandamide, oleoylethanolamide, palmitoylethanolamide, stearoylethanolamide, linoleoylethanolamide, eicosapentaenoylethanolamide, docosahexaenoylethanolamide and tissue fatty acid composition. The LA-diet increased linoleoylethanolamide and linoleic acid in brain, jejunum and liver. The OA-diet increased brain levels of anandamide and oleoylethanolamide (not 2-arachidonoylglycerol) without changing tissue fatty acid composition. The same diet increased oleoylethanolamide in liver. All five dietary fats decreased oleoylethanolamide in jejunum without changing levels of anandamide, suggesting that dietary fat may have an orexigenic effect. The AA-diet increased anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol in jejunum without effect on liver. The FO-diet decreased liver levels of all N-acylethanolamines (except eicosapentaenoylethanolamide and docosahexaenoylethanolamide) with similar changes in precursor lipids. The AA-diet and FO-diet had no effect on N-acylethanolamines, endocannabinoids or precursor lipids in brain. All N-acylethanolamines activated PPAR-alpha. In conclusion, short-term feeding of diets resembling human diets (Mediterranean diet high in monounsaturated fat, diet high in saturated fat, or diet high in polyunsaturated fat) can affect tissue levels of endocannabinoids and N-acylethanolamines. 相似文献

Interaction of dietary fat types and sesamin on hepatic fatty acid oxidation in rats 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The interaction of sesamin, one of the most abundant lignans in sesame seed, and types of dietary fats affecting hepatic fatty acid oxidation was examined in rats. Rats were fed purified experimental diets supplemented with 0% or 0.2% sesamin (1:1 mixture of sesamin and episesamin), and containing 8% of either palm, safflower or fish oil for 15 days. Among the groups fed sesamin-free diets, the activity of various fatty acid oxidation enzymes was higher in rats fed fish oil than in those fed palm and safflower oils. Dietary sesamin increased enzyme activities in all groups of rats given different fats. The extent of the increase depended on dietary fat type, and a diet containing sesamin and fish oil in combination appeared to increase many of these parameters synergistically. In particular, the peroxisomal palmitoyl-CoA oxidation rate and acyl-CoA oxidase activity levels were much higher in rats fed sesamin and fish oil in combination than in animals fed sesamin and palm or safflower oil in combination. Analyses of mRNA levels revealed that a diet containing sesamin and fish oil increased the gene expression of various peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation enzymes and PEX11alpha, a peroxisomal membrane protein, in a synergistic manner while it increased the gene expression of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation enzymes and microsomal cytochrome P-450 IV A1 in an additive manner. It was concluded that a diet containing sesamin and fish oil in combination synergistically increased hepatic fatty acid oxidation primarily through up-regulation of the gene expression of peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation enzymes. 相似文献

In Sprague-Dawley rats, fatty acid synthase (FAS) activity is suppressed by dietary fat. To test the hypothesis that a defect in regulation of de novo fatty acid synthesis exists in massive obesity, we investigated the effect of diet on FAS mRNA levels in genetically obese JCR:LA-corpulent (cp) rats. We also determined levels of mRNA encoding adipsin, a fat cell-derived protein possibly associated with lipid metabolism. Hepatic FAS mRNA levels were elevated five-fold in obese compared to lean cp rats and were unsuppressed by dietary fat. Dietary sucrose increased FAS mRNA levels in lean cp rats, but, in contrast to Sprague-Dawley rats, little deposition of lipid resulted. Adipsin mRNA levels were fivefold lower in obese cp and Sprague-Dawley rats than in lean cp rats and were unaffected by diet. We conclude that exaggerated de novo fatty acid synthesis may play a major role in the pathogenesis of obesity in obese JCR:LA-corpulent rats. 相似文献

Fish oil feeding showed less obesity in rodents, relative to other dietary oils. N-3 fatty acids rich in fish oil and fibrate compounds are peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) ligands that stimulate beta-oxidation of fatty acids in liver and are used for treatment of hypertriglycemic patients. Since UCP-2, a member of an uncoupling protein family, has been shown to express in hepatocytes, the effects of these agents on the expression of UCP2 mRNA were investigated. C57BL/6J mice were divided into three groups; the first group was given a high-carbohydrate diet, and the other two groups were given a high-fat diet (60% of total energy) as safflower oil or fish oil for 5 months. Safflower oil diet fed mice developed obesity, but those fed fish oil diet did not. Therefore, the effects of fish oil feeding on the expression of UCP1, UCP2 and UCP3 in liver, skeletal muscle (gastrocnemius), white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) were assessed by Northern blotting. Compared with safflower oil feeding, fish oil feeding up-regulated liver UCP2, BAT UCP2 and skeletal muscle UCP3 mRNA, while down-regulated WAT UCP2 and BAT UCP3 mRNA. Among these alterations, 5-fold up-regulation of liver UCP2 mRNA, relative to carbohydrate feeding, was noteworthy. Fenofibrate administration (about 500 mg/kg BW/d) for 2 wks also induced liver UCP2 expression by 9-fold. These data indicated that fish oil feeding and fibrate administration each up-regulated UCP2 mRNA expression in liver possibly via PPARalpha and hence each has the potential of increasing energy expenditure for prevention of obesity. 相似文献

Effect of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on lipid composition, metabolism and gene expression in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) tissues 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) affects fat deposition and lipid metabolism in mammals, including livestock. To determine CLA effects in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), a major farmed fish species, fish were fed for 12 weeks on diets containing fish oil or fish oil with 2% and 4% CLA supplementation. Fatty acid composition of the tissues showed deposition of CLA with accumulation being 2 to 3 fold higher in muscle than in liver. CLA had no effect on feed conversion efficiency or growth of the fish but there was a decreased lipid content and increased protein content after 4% CLA feeding. Thus, the protein:lipid ratio in whole fish was increased in fish fed 4% CLA and triacylglycerol in liver was decreased. Liver beta-oxidation was increased whilst both red muscle beta-oxidation capacity and CPT1 activity was decreased by dietary CLA. Liver highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) biosynthetic capacity was increased and the relative proportion of liver HUFA was marginally increased in salmon fed CLA. CLA had no effect on fatty acid Delta6 desaturase mRNA expression, but fatty acid elongase mRNA was increased in liver and intestine. In addition, the relative compositions of unsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids changed after CLA feeding. CLA had no effect on PPARalpha or PPARgamma expression in liver or intestine, although PPARbeta2A expression was reduced in liver at 4% CLA feeding. CLA did not affect hepatic malic enzyme activity. Thus, overall, the effect of dietary CLA was to increase beta-oxidation in liver, to reduce levels of total body lipid and liver triacylglycerol, and to affect liver fatty acid composition, with increased elongase expression and HUFA biosynthetic capacity. 相似文献
