Dietary components impact metabolism early in life. Some of the diet-induced effects are long lasting and can lead to various adult-based diseases. In the current studies, we examined the short-term effects of dietary cholesterol on neonatal hepatic sterol metabolism and the long-term effects that those early-life diets had on sterol metabolism in adulthood. Neonatal hamsters began consuming solid food as a supplement to milk by 5 days of age; diets contained 0 or 2% added cholesterol (wt/wt). By 10 days of age, plasma and liver cholesterol concentrations were 3.2- and 2.5-fold greater, respectively, in the neonates fed cholesterol. Hepatic sterol synthesis rates were suppressed 65% in cholesterol-fed neonates compared with control neonates. By 20 days of age, plasma and liver cholesterol concentrations were still greater and sterol synthesis rates were now suppressed maximally in neonates fed cholesterol compared with control neonates. The expression level of an apolipoprotein B-containing lipoprotein receptor (low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein) was greater and the mature form of the sterol regulatory element-binding protein-2 was similar in livers of 20-day-old control neonates compared with control neonates at 10 days of age. To test whether the change in sterol balance in the neonatal period had a lasting effect on hepatic sterol metabolism, all animals were weaned on a low-cholesterol diet. At 70 days of age, hepatic sterol synthesis rates, plasma lipoprotein and liver cholesterol concentrations, and bile acid pool sizes and compositions were measured. Sterol balance in the adults was similar between animals fed either diet early in life, as demonstrated by a lack of difference in any parameter measured. Thus, even though dietary cholesterol suppressed hepatic sterol synthesis rates dramatically in the neonatal hamster, the change has little impact on sterol balance later in life. 相似文献

Cholesterol is critical for several cellular functions and essential for normal fetal development. Therefore, its metabolism is tightly controlled during all life stages. The liver X receptors-alpha (LXRalpha; NR1H3) and -beta (LXRbeta; NR1H2) are nuclear receptors that are of key relevance in coordinating cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether fetal cholesterol metabolism can be influenced in utero via pharmacological activation of LXR and whether this would have long-term effects on cholesterol homeostasis. Administration of the LXR agonist T0901317 to pregnant mice via their diet (0.015% wt/wt) led to induced fetal hepatic expression levels of the cholesterol transporter genes Abcg5/g8 and Abca1, higher plasma cholesterol levels, and lower hepatic cholesterol levels compared with controls. These profound changes during fetal development did not affect cholesterol metabolism in adulthood nor did they influence coping with a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet. This study shows that the LXR system is functional in fetal mice and susceptible to pharmacological activation. Despite massive changes in fetal cholesterol metabolism, regulatory mechanisms involved in cholesterol metabolism return to a "normal" state in offspring and allow coping with a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet. 相似文献

Interaction of aging and dietary fat in the regulation of low density lipoprotein transport in the hamster 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
These studies were undertaken to examine the effect of aging on low density lipoprotein (LDL) metabolism in the male hamster. When the hamsters were maintained on a low-cholesterol, low-triglyceride diet, rates of LDL transport in the various tissues of the body and plasma LDL-cholesterol concentrations remained constant over the entire life span (1-24 months) of the hamster. In contrast, rates of de novo cholesterol synthesis fell 50-97% in the various tissues of the body during the transition from rapid body growth in the young animal to the stable adult size. Thus, changes in tissue requirements for cholesterol over the life span of these animals were met by an appropriate adjustment in the rate of de novo synthesis rather than by alterations in LDL transport. When animals were fed a diet enriched in cholesterol and saturated triglycerides, rates of LDL production increased, total body LDL receptor activity was suppressed, and plasma LDL-cholesterol levels rose. Older animals, however, were not more susceptible than young animals to the detrimental effects of these dietary fats. These studies support the view that aging per se has not effect on LDL transport by the liver or other tissues. Rather, the progressive rise in plasma LDL-cholesterol levels seen in Western man is likely due to the consumption of a diet enriched in cholesterol and saturated triglyceride which increases the LDL-cholesterol production rate and suppresses receptor-dependent LDL transport. 相似文献

Regulation of hepatic cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism in ethinyl estradiol-treated rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The regulation of hepatic cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism was studied in the ethinyl estradiol-treated rat in which low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors are increased many fold. Cholesterol synthesis was reduced at both its diurnal peak and trough by ethinyl estradiol. The diurnal variation in 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase was abolished, whereas that for acyl coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) was retained. LDL receptor number did not vary diurnally. Feeding these animals a cholesterol-rich diet for 48 h suppressed cholesterol synthesis and reductase activities to levels similar to those found in cholesterol-fed control animals, but ACAT activity was unaffected. LDL receptors were reduced about 50%. Intravenously administered cholesterol-rich lipoproteins suppressed HMG-CoA reductase and LDL receptors in 2 h but had a variable effect on ACAT activity. Intragastric administration of mevalonolactone reduced reductase and increased acyltransferase activity but had little effect on LDL receptors when given 2 or 4 h before death. Although animals fed a cholesterol-rich diet before and during ethinyl estradiol treatment became hypocholesterolemic, free and esterified cholesterol concentrations in liver were high as was ACAT activity. HMG-CoA reductase was inhibited to levels found in control animals fed the cholesterol-rich diet. LDL receptors were increased to a level about 50% of that reached in animals receiving a control diet and ethinyl estradiol. These data demonstrate that key enzymes of hepatic cholesterol metabolism and hepatic LDL receptors respond rapidly to cholesterol in the ethinyl estradiol-treated rat. Furthermore, estradiol increases LDL receptor activity several fold in cholesterol-loaded livers. 相似文献

Groups of gerbils were fed purified diets containing either 10 or 20% of safflower, olive, or coconut oil. Each diet was fed without cholesterol and with 0.1 and 0.2% of added cholesterol. The animals were bled after 2, 4, and 8 wk for the determination of the level of serum cholesterol. The major factors affecting the level of serum cholesterol were the kind of dietary oil, the amount of dietary cholesterol, and the length of time the diet was fed. The level of safflower oil had a statistically significant effect but the level of olive or coconut oil had no significant effect. Various other statistically significant interactions were observed which make simple interpretations of the data difficult. The levels of serum cholesterol achieved in the gerbils fed the different oils with no or very low levels of dietary cholesterol were similar to those seen in men fed the same oils. Although the gerbil is apparently resistant to the development of atherosclerosis, it may be a useful model for studying the effect of dietary fats upon cholesterol metabolism. 相似文献

Worldwide, the incidence of obesity is increasing at an alarming rate, and the number of children with obesity is especially worrisome. These developments raise concerns about the physical, psychosocial and cognitive consequences of obesity. It was shown that early dietary intake of arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) can reduce the detrimental effects of later obesogenic feeding on lipid metabolism and adipogenesis in an animal model of mild obesity. In the present study, the effects of early dietary ARA and DHA on cognition and brain structure were examined in mildly obesogenic ApoE*3Leiden mouse model. We used cognitive tests and neuroimaging during early and later life. During their early development after weaning (4–13 weeks of age), mice were fed a chow diet or ARA and DHA diet for 8 weeks and then switched to a high-fat and high-carbohydrate (HFHC) diet for 12 weeks (14–26 weeks of age). An HFHC-diet led to increased energy storage in white adipose tissue, increased cholesterol levels, decreased triglycerides levels, increased cerebral blood flow and decreased functional connectivity between brain regions as well as cerebrovascular and gray matter integrity. ARA and DHA intake reduced the HFHC-diet-induced increase in body weight, attenuated plasma triglycerides levels and improved cerebrovasculature, gray matter integrity and functional connectivity in later life. In conclusion, an HFHC diet causes adverse structural brain and metabolic adaptations, most of which can be averted by dietary ARA and DHA intake early in life supporting metabolic flexibility and cerebral integrity later in life. 相似文献

Effects of dietary alpha linolenic acid on cholesterol metabolism in male and female hamsters of the LPN strain 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and estrogens are recognized as protective factors of atherosclerosis, however their interactions on cholesterol metabolism remain unclear. Male and female hamsters were fed for 9 weeks diets containing 12.5% lipids and rich in either alpha-linolenic acid ("linseed" diet) or saturated fatty acids ("butter" diet). Hamsters fed the "linseed" diet exhibited lower plasma concentrations of cholesterol (-29%), total LDL (-35%) and HDL (-17%), glucose (-20%), insulin (-40%) and of the LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio (-27%) than those fed the "butter" diet. In the liver, cholesterol content was 2.7-fold lower in response to the "linseed" diet, whereas the concentration of HDL receptor (SR-BI) and the activities of HMGCoA reductase and cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase were 30 to 50% higher than with the "butter" diet. By contrast, the LDL receptor concentration did not vary with the diet. Females exhibited higher concentration of LDL (+24%), lower concentration of plasma triglycerides (-34%), total VLDL (-46%) and VLDL-cholesterol (-37%) and of biliary phospholipids (-19%). Besides, there was also an interaction between gender and diet: in males fed the "butter" diet, plasma triglycerides and VLDL concentration, were 2 to 4 fold higher than in the other groups. These data suggest that gene and/or metabolic regulations by fatty acids could interact with that of sex hormones and explain why males are more sensitive to dietary fatty acids. 相似文献

Developing atherosclerotic lesions in hypercholesterolemic rabbits are depleted in zinc, while iron accumulates. This study examined the influence of zinc supplementation on the development of atherosclerosis and used isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques to measure biomarkers of oxidative lipid damage in atherosclerotic rabbit aorta. Our previous method for F(2)-isoprostane measurement was adapted to include the quantitation of cholesterol oxidation products in the same sample. Two groups of New Zealand white rabbits were fed a high cholesterol (1% w/w) diet and one group was also supplemented with zinc (1 g/kg) for 8 weeks. Controls were fed a normal diet. Zinc supplementation did not significantly alter the increase in total plasma cholesterol levels observed in animals fed high cholesterol. However, in cholesterol-fed animals zinc supplementation significantly reduced the accumulation of total cholesterol levels in aorta which was accompanied by a significant reduction in average aortic lesion cross-sectional areas of the animals. Elevated levels of cholesterol oxidation products (5,6-alpha and beta cholesterol epoxides, 7beta-hydroxycholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol) in aorta and total F(2)-isoprostanes in plasma and aorta of rabbits fed a cholesterol diet were significantly decreased by zinc supplementation. Our data indicate that zinc has an antiatherogenic effect, possibly due to a reduction in iron-catalyzed free radical reactions. 相似文献

Normal and streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats were studied in order to examine the effects of altering the type of dietary protein on cholesterol homeostasis. Rats were fed a non-purified or a purified diet containing either casein or soybean protein. The results obtained on the specific aspects of lipid metabolism were remarkably similar in control rats fed the non-purified (Purina Lab Chow) diet or the purified diet with the soybean protein. However, most of the findings obtained with the above two groups were different from those obtained with rats fed the purified diet containing casein. In the latter group, plasma cholesterol was elevated following a 15-day feeding period as compared to the other two dietary groups. The excess plasma cholesterol in the casein-fed group was found in two lipoprotein fractions with densities of 1.023-1.045 g/ml and 1.045-1.086 g/ml, respectively. The latter lipoprotein fraction was also enriched with apolipoprotein E. The casein-fed animals also showed a lower fractional rate of plasma cholesterol esterification and an abnormal accumulation of cholesterol in the body despite inhibition of cholesterol synthesis in the liver and in the intestines. Twelve to 15 days after the induction of diabetes, plasma cholesterol increased to a similar extent in the rats on all three diets. However, the distribution of cholesterol among the lipoprotein fractions was markedly different. The percentage of cholesterol in fractions of d less than 1.086 g/ml was increased while that carried in the fraction of d 1.086-1.161 g/ml decreased in the rats fed the nonpurified diet and the casein diet. In contrast, there was no change in the distribution of lipoprotein cholesterol between the diabetic and the control rats fed the soybean protein diet. The hepatic synthesis of cholesterol was unaltered in diabetic rats fed the nonpurified diet and the purified diet with soybean protein, but was increased 2.4-fold in diabetic rats fed casein. Intestinal cholesterol synthesis was increased in all three dietary groups. The increase was highest in the rats fed casein and lowest in rats fed soybean protein. The rate of sterol synthesis in the kidneys was not significantly affected by the diet or diabetes. In all three dietary groups diabetes led to an abnormal accumulation of cholesterol in the body. This accumulation was highest in the casein-fed rats and lowest in those fed the soybean protein diet. The cholesterol content of the kidneys was markedly increased by dietary casein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

We have previously reported that essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD) during suckling in mice resulted in an adult lean phenotype and a resistance to diet-induced obesity. We now hypothesized that postnatal EFAD would cause long-term effects on lipid metabolism. C57BL/6 mice were fed an EFAD or a control diet from the 16th day of gestation and throughout lactation. The pups were weaned to standard diet (STD) and at 15 weeks of age given either high fat diet (HFD) or STD. Lipoprotein profiles, hepatic lipids, fatty acids and mRNA expression were analyzed in 3-week-old and 25-week-old offspring. At weaning, the EFAD pups had higher cholesterol levels in both plasma and liver and 6-fold higher concentrations of hepatic cholesterol esters than control pups. Adult EFAD offspring had higher levels of hepatic cholesterol and linoleic acid, but lower levels of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid and Pparg mRNA expression in the liver. In addition, HFD fed EFAD offspring had lower plasma total cholesterol, lower hepatic triglycerides and lower liver weight compared to controls fed HFD. In conclusion, early postnatal EFAD resulted in short-term alterations with increased hepatic cholesterol accumulation and long-term protection against diet-induced liver steatosis and hypercholesterolemia. 相似文献

Effect of bean intake on biliary lipid secretion and on hepatic cholesterol metabolism in the rat 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We studied the effect of a bean diet on biliary lipid secretion, serum cholesterol concentration, and hepatic cholesterol metabolism in the rat. Rats fed a bean diet for 10-12 days had increased biliary cholesterol output and molar percentage by 300% and 200%, respectively, compared to rats fed an isocaloric and isoprotein casein diet. Biliary phospholipid output increased 180%. Bile flow and biliary bile salt output remained in the normal range. Total serum and VLDL cholesterol concentration significantly decreased 27% and 50%, respectively, in the rats fed the bean diet. Hepatic cholesterogenesis was increased 170% in the bean-fed animals. The relative contribution of newly synthesized hepatic cholesterol to total biliary cholesterol increased 200%, and that of endogenous origin only 50%. These results suggested that newly synthesized hepatic cholesterol was preferentially channelled to the biliary cholesterol secretory pathway in bean-fed rats. Although hepatic cholesteryl ester concentration increased 240%, the incorporation of [14C]oleate into hepatic cholesteryl esters was significantly decreased by 30% in isolated hepatocytes of bean-fed animals. These results were consistent with the possibility that the availability of hepatic free cholesterol for biliary secretion was increased in the bean-fed animals. This study demonstrates that bean intake has a profound effect on the metabolic channelling and compartmentalization of hepatic cholesterol, resulting in a significant decrease in total serum and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations and a high biliary cholesterol output. 相似文献

This study was designed to investigate the effect of dietary adlay oil on plasma lipids, insulin and lipid peroxidation levels in rats. Twenty-four male Wistar rats fed diet containing adlay oil and cholesterol were studied for 4 weeks. The animals were divided into three groups: (1) 10% lard (control) group; (2) 5% lard + 5% adlay oil (5% adlay oil) group; and (3) 10% adlay oil group. Although there was no significant difference in body weight at the end of the feeding study, rats fed a diet containing adlay oil showed a significant decrease in adipose tissue weight and relative adipose weight. In addition, the rats fed the adlay oil showed significantly decreased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), insulin, leptin and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) concentrations after 4 weeks of the feeding study. Although a significant decrease in total plasma cholesterol was observed in rats fed the 5% adlay oil diet, no significant difference was observed between the 10% adlay oil and control groups, and neither was a significant difference in liver TBARS concentration found between the dietary groups. Results from this study suggest that dietary adlay oil can reduce leptin, adipose tissue and LDL-C levels in rats. 相似文献

Contrary to normal rats, diabetic rats are known to develop marked hypercholesterolemia when fed a cholesterol-enriched diet. The triggering factor involved in this hyperresponse has not been identified. With the aim of clarifying the role of the intestinal acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT), we studied the effects of a high fat diet and the changes of intestinal ACAT activity during the early development of streptozotocin-diabetes in rats. Feeding diabetic rats with a diet enriched in cholesterol and saturated fat produced an increase in plasma and in tissue cholesterol as early as 3 days after streptozotocin injection in the absence of hyperphagia. Under these experimental conditions, treatment with insulin or with the ACAT inhibitor CL-277082 significantly reduced the plasma cholesterol to levels measured in nondiabetic rats fed the same high fat diet. An increase in [14C]cholesterol in plasma very low density lipoprotein was observed after oral administration of labeled cholesterol to 3-day diabetic rats. In parallel experiments, the direct measurement of small intestine microsomal ACAT activity revealed an increase, averaging 288% in diabetic rats 3 days after diabetes induction. This change in ACAT activity occurred simultaneously with an increase in plasma glucagon and was normalized by insulin treatment. The induction of intestinal ACAT activity in diabetic rats, its modulation by insulin, and the hypocholesterolemic effects of insulin or CL-277082 treatment clearly indicate that ACAT activity plays a major role in the initiation of diabetes-associated hypercholesterolemia. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide and tumor necrosis factor cause a fall in plasma concentration of lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase in cynomolgus monkeys 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The effects of intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) were investigated in cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). Injection of 20 micrograms/kg of LPS from E. coli (serotype 055:B5) into cynomolgus monkeys fed a monkey chow diet caused a twofold increase in plasma triglyceride and a 25% reduction in plasma cholesterol 48 h after injection. Similar results were found with injection of recombinant human TNF at a dose of 20 micrograms/kg into chow-fed animals. However, injection of the same dose of LPS or TNF into animals fed an atherogenic diet containing saturated fat and cholesterol resulted in a 2.4- to 5-fold increase in plasma triglyceride concentrations and no significant change in plasma cholesterol levels. The fall in plasma cholesterol levels observed in chow-fed animals was associated with a 57% decrease in the cholesteryl ester (CE) content in low density lipoprotein (LDL) and 35% decrease in CE in high density lipoprotein (HDL) in LPS-injected animals, and a decrease of 33% in CE concentration of LDL and 41% in CE of HDL in animals injected with TNF. In animals fed the atherogenic diet containing saturated fat and cholesterol, the injection of both LPS and TNF also resulted in a significant decrease in the CE content of LDL and HDL. However, the plasma total cholesterol levels did not change in the animals fed saturated fat and cholesterol because the decrease in CE content of LDL and HDL was offset by an increase in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)-CE.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Biliary cholesterol excretion closely parallels lecithin excretion in the rat and may be increased by feeding an excess of choline and decreased by choline deficiency. To determine the relative influence of cholesterol input and excretion on whole body cholesterol metabolism, we have measured by compartmental analysis rates of cholesterol transport and pool sizes when both input and choline-mediated biliary excretion were increased and diminished. In choline-deficient animals with impaired excretion, plasma cholesterol was reduced. However, in deficient animals more cholesterol was transported into the slowly exchanging pool to increase pool size, and, when input was increased (by addition of cholesterol to diet), the slowly exchanging pool was even more markedly enlarged. In contrast, when excess choline was fed, plasma cholesterol was increased but excretion so exceeded transport into the slowly exchanging pool that pool size was actually reduced. Furthermore, in choline-fed animals with unimpaired excretion, addition of cholesterol to the diet to increase input did not result in pool expansion. Thus, in this model, cholesterol excretion and tissue deposition were reciprocally related, and, regardless of plasma cholesterol concentration and cholesterol input, stores were found to increase only when biliary excretion was impaired. 相似文献

The absorption of cholesterol by the small intestine is a major route for the net entry of cholesterol into the body and can therefore affect the plasma low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration. These studies used ezetimibe, a potent inhibitor of cholesterol absorption, to delineate the biochemical and molecular changes in intrahepatic metabolism and biliary lipid secretion when there is a major reduction in chylomicron cholesterol delivery to the liver. In female LDL receptor (LDLR)-deficient (LDLR-/-) mice fed a basal diet containing ezetimibe (0-10 mg/day/kg body weight), cholesterol absorption was reduced up to 91%, fecal neutral sterol excretion was increased up to 4.7-fold, and plasma total cholesterol concentrations decreased by up to 18%. Blocking cholesterol absorption prevented the accumulation of very low density lipoproteins and LDL in the circulation of LDLR-/- mice fed a lipid-rich diet. In female LDLR+/+ mice fed the lipid-rich diet with ezetimibe, the relative mRNA level for the LDLR in the liver was 2-fold greater than in matching mice given the lipid-rich diet alone. We conclude that in the mouse the reduction in plasma LDL-C levels induced by blocking cholesterol absorption reflects both a diminished rate of LDL-C production and a modest increase in hepatic LDLR expression. 相似文献

The metabolism of cholesterol was studied in baboons, rhesus monkeys, and squirrel monkeys while they were being fed either a low fat, low cholesterol (basal) diet or the basal diet supplemented with saturated fat and cholesterol (atherogenic diet). When the diet was changed from basal to atherogenic, the mean total serum cholesterol concentration increased from 70 to 180 mg/dl in the baboon, from 168 to 283 mg/dl in the squirrel monkey, and from 144 to 608 mg/dl in the rhesus monkey. In animals fed the atherogenic diet, the percentage of dietary cholesterol absorbed was greatest in the rhesus monkey and least in the baboon. The fraction of the total body pool of cholesterol that was derived from the diet was greatest in the squirrel monkey and least in the baboon. The turnover of the body pool of cholesterol was several times faster in the squirrel monkey than in the baboon or the rhesus monkey when either dict was fed. The mean total fecal excretion of endogenous cholesterol and bile acid increased in all species on transition to the atherogenic diet; however, the relative contributions of the neutral and acidic fractions to the increase in total excretion differed among species. The difference in percentage of dietary cholesterol absorbed may, in part, account for the large differences in serum cholesterol during the atherogenic diet period. Comparison with other published results indicates that of these species cholesterol metabolism in the baboon is most like that in the human. 相似文献

The changes in propionate metabolism that accompany cobalt deficiency in sheep are described. Two groups of sheep, fed either a cobalt sufficient or deficient diet, were given an iv propionate load at intervals during a 14 w experiment. There was a tendency towards increased propionate half-life as the animals became cobalt deficient. However, significant changes in the area under the plasma methylmalonic acid-time curve occurred very early, indicating significant impairment of propionate metabolism. Despite this, the area under the plasma glucose-time curve was unaffected by cobalt deficiency, suggesting that the impairment of propionate metabolism, although significant, is not extensive. 相似文献

OSBP-related protein 8 (ORP8) encoded by Osbpl8 is an endoplasmic reticulum sterol sensor implicated in cellular lipid metabolism. We generated an Osbpl8−/− (KO) C57Bl/6 mouse strain. Wild-type and Osbpl8KO animals at the age of 13-weeks were fed for 5 weeks either chow or high-fat diet, and their plasma lipids/lipoproteins and hepatic lipids were analyzed. The chow-fed Osbpl8KO male mice showed a marked elevation of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (+79%) and phospholipids (+35%), while only minor increase of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) was detected. In chow-fed female KO mice a less prominent increase of HDL cholesterol (+27%) was observed, while on western diet the HDL increment was prominent in both genders. The HDL increase was accompanied by an elevated level of HDL-associated apolipoprotein E in male, but not female KO animals. No differences between genotypes were observed in lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) or hepatic lipase (HL) activity, or in the fractional catabolic rate of fluorescently labeled mouse HDL injected in chow-diet fed animals. The Osbpl8KO mice of both genders displayed reduced phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) activity, but only on chow diet. These findings are consistent with a model in which Osbpl8 deficiency results in altered biosynthesis of HDL. Consistent with this hypothesis, ORP8 depleted mouse hepatocytes secreted an increased amount of nascent HDL into the culture medium. In addition to the HDL phenotype, distinct gender-specific alterations in lipid metabolism were detected: Female KO animals on chow diet showed reduced lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity and increased plasma triglycerides, while the male KO mice displayed elevated plasma cholesterol biosynthetic markers cholestenol, desmosterol, and lathosterol. Moreover, modest gender-specific alterations in the hepatic expression of lipid homeostatic genes were observed. In conclusion, we report the first viable OsbplKO mouse model, demonstrating a HDL elevating effect of Osbpl8 knock-out and additional gender- and/or diet-dependent impacts on lipid metabolism. 相似文献

Reduction in plasma cholesterol and increase in biliary cholesterol by a diet rich in n-3 fatty acids in the rat 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism were investigated in a group of rats fed a fish oil-supplemented diet, a rich source of n-3 fatty acids. For comparison purposes, other groups of rats were fed either safflower oil (n-6 fatty acids) or coconut oil (saturated fatty acids). Diets were isocaloric and contained identical amounts of cholesterol. Rats fed fish oils for 2 weeks showed a 35% lower plasma cholesterol level than rats fed safflower oil, who in turn showed a 14% lower plasma cholesterol level than those fed coconut oil. The fall in plasma cholesterol level with fish oils was associated with significant falls in low density and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, but with no significant change in the ratio of low density to high density lipoprotein cholesterol. The fatty acid compositions of plasma, hepatic, and biliary lipids showed relative enrichment with n-3 fatty acids, reflecting the composition of the diet. The fish oil diet increased the basal secretion rate of cholesterol into bile, but the bile acid secretion rate remained unchanged. It is suggested that n-3 fatty acids reduce the plasma cholesterol level in rats by increasing the transfer of cholesterol into bile. 相似文献
