Effect of dietary n-3 fatty acids on HMG-CoA reductase and ACAT activities in liver and intestine of the rabbit 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The regulation of hepatic and intestinal 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase and acyl-CoA; cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activities by dietary fish oil was examined in the rabbit. Rabbits were fed 10% menhaden oil or menhaden oil plus 1% cholesterol for 14 days. They were compared with animals fed a control diet or one enriched with long-chain saturated fats consisting of 10% cocoa butter oil or cocoa butter oil plus 1% cholesterol. Plasma cholesterol was increased in rabbits fed the fish oil and the two cholesterol-containing diets. In the liver, ACAT activity was increased and HMG-CoA reductase activity was decreased in rabbits ingesting the fish oil. The same was true for animals ingesting both cholesterol-containing diets. In the intestine, ACAT activity was not affected by the ingestion of the fish oil compared to control rabbits; however, it was significantly higher in animals fed the fish oil compared to animals ingesting the cocoa butter. HMG-CoA reductase activity was decreased in the distal two-thirds of the intestine in animals fed the menhaden oil compared to activities observed in controls. In animals ingesting the cholesterol diets, intestinal reductase was significantly decreased, whereas intestinal ACAT activity was increased in rabbits ingesting the cocoa butter and cholesterol diet when compared to their controls. Lipid analysis of hepatic and intestinal microsomes demonstrated an enrichment of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in membranes from rabbits ingesting the menhaden oil.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Dietary oxidized cholesterol decreases expression of hepatic microsomal triglyceride transfer protein in rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of dietary oxidized cholesterol and pure cholesterol on plasma and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) lipids and on some parameters of VLDL assembly and secretion in rats fed two different dietary fats. Four groups of male growing Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets containing pure or oxidized cholesterol (5 g/kg diet) with either coconut oil or salmon oil as dietary fat (100 g/kg diet) for 35 days. Rats fed oxidized cholesterol supplemented diets had significantly lower concentrations of triglycerides and cholesterol in plasma and VLDL than rats fed pure cholesterol supplemented diets irrespective of the type of fat. In addition, rats fed oxidized cholesterol supplemented diets had significantly lower relative concentrations of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) than rats fed pure cholesterol supplemented diets. In contrast, hepatic lipid concentrations and the relative concentration of apolipoprotein B mRNA were not influenced by the dietary factors investigated. Parameters of hepatic lipogenesis (relative mRNA concentration of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c and activity of glucose-6-phosphat dehydrogenase) were significantly reduced by feeding fish oil compared to coconut oil, but were not affected by the type of cholesterol. In conclusion, the data of this study suggest, that dietary oxidized cholesterol affects VLDL assembly and/or secretion by reducing the synthesis of MTP but not by impairing hepatic lipogenesis or synthesis of apolipoprotein B. 相似文献

Regulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase mRNA levels by L-triiodothyronine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In hypophysectomized rats, hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase activity, immunoreactive 97-kilodalton (97-kDa) protein, and mRNA were all reduced to undetectable levels. Administration of triiodothyronine (T3) resulted in large increases in all three after a 36-h lag period. HMG-CoA reductase activity, immunoreactive 97-kDa protein levels, and reductase mRNA levels were tightly correlated. Feeding hypophysectomized rats diets containing the bile acid sequestrant colestipol, together with the potent reductase inhibitor mevinolin, resulted in an increase in HMG-CoA reductase activity similar to that seen with T3 but a lesser stimulation of reductase mRNA levels. These results suggest that agents which cause depletion of mevalonate-derived products may share in part with T3 a common mechanism for increasing levels of HMG-CoA reductase activity in order to satisfy cellular needs for these products. Dexamethasone treatment, which is known to prevent the T3-mediated stimulation of reductase activity, caused a marked decrease in 97-kDa immunoreactive material but had little effect on reductase mRNA levels. 相似文献

The liver plays a central role in regulating cholesterol homeostasis. High fat diets have been shown to induce obesity and hyperlipidemia. Despite considerable advances in our understanding of cholesterol metabolism, the regulation of liver cholesterol biosynthesis in response to high fat diet feeding has not been fully addressed. The aim of the present study was to investigate mechanisms by which a high fat diet caused activation of liver 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase) leading to increased cholesterol biosynthesis. Mice were fed a high fat diet (60% kcal fat) for 5 weeks. High fat diet feeding induced weight gain and elevated lipid levels (total cholesterol and triglyceride) in both the liver and serum. Despite cholesterol accumulation in the liver, there was a significant increase in hepatic HMG-CoA reductase mRNA and protein expression as well as enzyme activity. The DNA binding activity of sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-2 and specific protein 1 (Sp1) were also increased in the liver of mice fed a high fat diet. To validate the in vivo findings, HepG2 cells were treated with palmitic acid. Such a treatment activated SREBP-2 as well as increased the mRNA and enzyme activity of HMG-CoA reductase leading to intracellular cholesterol accumulation. Inhibition of Sp1 by siRNA transfection abolished palmitic acid-induced SREBP-2 and HMG-CoA reductase mRNA expression. These results suggest that Sp1-mediated SREBP-2 activation contributes to high fat diet induced HMG-CoA reductase activation and increased cholesterol biosynthesis. This may play a role in liver cholesterol accumulation and hypercholesterolemia. 相似文献

We investigated the influence of docosahexaenoic acid ethyl ester (DHA-EE) on 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase activity in the brains of adult and aged mice. Male mice (Crlj:CD-1) were fed diets containing 3% lard plus 2% linoleic acid ethyl ester (LA-EE), or 2% DHA-EE, for 3 months. The brain HMG-CoA reductase activity of 8-month-old (adult) mice was not significantly influenced by dietary intake of DHA-EE. However, in 18-month-old (aged) mice, its activity was enhanced with dietary intake of DHA-EE. Brain HMG-CoA reductase activity and brain cholesterol content significantly increased with age. Hepatic HMG-CoA reductase activity and the cholesterol content of both adult and aged mice were reduced in DHA-EE diet groups, compared with LA-EE diet groups. The DHA percentages of brain and liver microsomal fractions increased with the intake of DHA-EE in adult and aged mice. These results suggest that DHA may enhance brain HMG-CoA reductase activity in aged mice. 相似文献

We have demonstrated that SC-435, an apical sodium codependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) inhibitor, lowers plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations in guinea pigs. The purpose of this study was to further examine the hypocholesterolemic effects of SC-435, by measuring the activity and RNA expression of regulatory enzymes of hepatic cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism. In addition, the use of a combination (COMBO) therapy with simvastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor, was also tested. Male Hartley guinea pigs were randomly allocated to one of three diets (n=10 per group), for 12 weeks. The control diet contained no ASBT inhibitor or simvastatin. The monotherapy diet (ASBTi) contained 0.1% of SC-435. The COMBO therapy consisted of a lower dose of SC-435 (0.03%) and 0.05% simvastatin. Cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) and HMG-CoA reductase mRNA abundance were determined using RT-PCR techniques. Hepatic HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7-hydroxylase (CYP7) activities were measured by radioisotopic methods. Compared to the control group, CETP activity was 34% and 56% lower with ASBTi and COMBO, respectively. Similarly, CETP mRNA expression was reduced by 36% and 73% in ASBTi and COMBO groups, respectively. Cholesterol 7-hydroxylase and HMG-CoA reductase activities were increased 2-fold with ASBTi and COMBO treatments, respectively. Likewise, HMG-CoA reductase mRNA expression was increased 33% with ASBTi treatment. These results suggest that both SC-435 monotherapy and combination therapy lower LDL cholesterol concentrations by altering both hepatic cholesterol homeostasis and the intravascular processing of lipoproteins in guinea pigs. 相似文献

We recently postulated that hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase functions as a cholesterol buffer to protect against the serum and tissue cholesterol raising action of dietary cholesterol. This postulate predicts that diminished basal expression of hepatic HMG-CoA reductase results in increased sensitivity to dietary cholesterol. Because diabetic and hypothyroid animals are known to have markedly reduced hepatic HMG-CoA reductase, these animals were selected as models to test our postulate. When rats were rendered diabetic with streptozotocin, their hepatic HMG-CoA reductase activity decreased from 314 to 22 pmol. min(-1). mg(-1), and their serum cholesterol levels increased slightly. When the diabetic animals were challenged with a diet containing 1% cholesterol, their serum cholesterol levels doubled, and their hepatic reductase activity decreased further to 0.9 pmol. min(-1). mg(-1). Hepatic low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor immunoreactive protein levels were unaffected in the diabetic rats whether fed cholesterol-supplemented diets or not. In rats rendered hypothyroid by thyroparathyroidectomy, serum cholesterol levels rose from 100 to 386 mg/dl in response to the 1% cholesterol challenge, whereas HMG-CoA reductase activity dropped from 33.8 to 3.4 pmol. min(-1). mg(-1). Hepatic LDL receptor immunoreactive protein levels decreased only slightly in the hypothyroid rats fed cholesterol-supplemented diets. Taken together, these results show that rats deficient in either insulin or thyroid hormone are extremely sensitive to dietary cholesterol largely due to low basal expression of hepatic HMG-CoA reductase. 相似文献

Chlorella powder (CP) has a hypocholesterolemic effect and high bile acid-binding capacity; however, its effects on hepatic cholesterol metabolism are still unclear. In the present study, male Wistar rats were divided into four groups and fed a high sucrose + 10% lard diet (H), an H + 10% CP diet (H+CP), an H + 0.5% cholesterol + 0.25% sodium cholate diet (C), or a C + 10% CP diet (C+CP) for 2 weeks. CP decreased serum and liver cholesterol levels significantly in rats fed C-based diets, but did not affect these parameters in rats fed H-based diets. CP increased the hepatic mRNA level and activity of cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1). CP increased hepatic HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) activity in the rats fed H-based diets, but not in rats fed C-based diets. CP did not affect hepatic mRNA levels of sterol 27-hydroxylase, HMGR, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, scavenger receptor class B1, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) A1, ABCG5, or ABCB11. Furthermore, the effect of a 3.08% Chlorella indigestible fraction (CIF, corresponding to 10% CP) on hepatic cholesterol metabolism was determined using the same animal models. CIF also decreased serum and liver cholesterol levels significantly in rats fed C-based diets. CIF increased hepatic CYP7A1 mRNA levels. These results suggest that the hypocholesterolemic effect of CP involves enhancement of cholesterol catabolism through up-regulation of hepatic CYP7A1 expression and that CIF contributes to the hypocholesterolemic effect. 相似文献

Binding of sterol response element binding protein 1a to sterol response element-1 (SRE-1) in the promoter region of lanosterol 14 alpha-demethylase (14DM) has been demonstrated previously. Decreased 14DM activity has been shown to result in accumulation of the intermediate, 3 beta-hydroxy-lanost-8-en-32-al, a known translational downregulator of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. Since it has also been demonstrated that feedback regulation of hepatic HMG-CoA reductase occurs primarily at the level of translation, the effects of dietary cholesterol and cholesterol lowering agents on levels of hepatic 14DM mRNA and immunoreactive protein were investigated. Addition of 1% cholesterol to a chow diet markedly decreased hepatic 14DM mRNA and protein levels in Sprague-Dawley rats. The extent and time course of this decrease in 14DM immunoreactive protein closely paralleled that of HMG-CoA reductase. Supplementation of the diet with the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, Lovastatin, to a level of 0.02%, raised 14DM mRNA and protein levels 2- to 3-fold. Addition of 2% Colestipol, a bile acid binding resin, to the chow diet caused smaller increases. The highest level of 14DM protein expression was observed in liver, the major site of feedback regulation of HMG-CoA reductase by cholesterol. Taken together, these observations suggest a critical role for 14DM in the feedback regulation of hepatic HMG-CoA reductase. 相似文献

Inhibition of elevated hepatic glutathione abolishes copper deficiency cholesterolemia. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Dietary copper deficiency causes hypercholesterolemia and increased hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (MHG-CoA) reductase activity and increased hepatic glutathione (GSH) in rats. We hypothesized that inhibition of GSH production by L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), a specific GSH synthesis inhibitor, would abolish the cholesterolemia and increased HMG-CoA reductase activity of copper deficiency. In two experiments, two groups of 20 weanling male rats were fed diets providing 0.4 and 5.8 micrograms Cu/g, copper-deficient (Cu-D) and copper-adequate (Cu-A), respectively. At 35 days plasma cholesterol was significantly elevated by 30 to 43% in Cu-D and 10 animals in each of the Cu-D and Cu-A groups were randomly assigned to receive 10 mM BSO solution in place of drinking water and continued on the same diets for another 2 wk. At necropsy Cu-D animals had a significant 52 to 58% increase in plasma cholesterol. BSO administration abolished the cholesterolemia in Cu-D rats, but had no influence on plasma cholesterol of Cu-A rats. Hepatic GSH was increased 39 to 82% in Cu-D rats and BSO abolished this increase. BSO was without effect on cardiac hypertrophy, plasma and liver copper, and hematocrit indices of copper status. Liver microsome HMG-CoA reductase activity was significantly increased 85 to 288% in Cu-D rats and BSO administration abolished this increase in activity in Cu-D rats. The results suggest that copper deficiency cholesterolemia and elevated HMG-CoA reductase activity are a consequence of elevated hepatic GSH, and provide evidence for GSH regulation of cholesterol metabolism in intact animals. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of two cinnamic acid synthetic derivatives (allyl 3-[4-hydroxyphenyl]propanoate; HPP304, 1-naphthyl-methyl 3-[4-hydroxyphenyl]propanoate; HPP305) in high-cholesterol fed rats and compare their actions to that of cinnamic acid. Cinnamic acid and its synthetic derivatives were supplemented with a high-cholesterol diet for 42 days at a dose of 0.135 mmol/100 g of diet. The supplementation of HPP304 and HPP305 significantly lowered cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the plasma and liver with a simultaneous increase in the HDL-cholesterol concentration, whereas cinnamic acid only lowered the plasma cholesterol concentration. Cinnamic acid lowered hepatic HMG-CoA reductase activity in high-cholesterol fed rats, however, its synthetic derivatives (HPP304 and HPP305) did not affect HMG-CoA reductase activity compared to the control group. Instead, the HPP304 and HPP305 supplements significantly lowered hepatic acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase activity and increased the fecal bile acid. The SOD activity of the erythrocytes and liver was not different between the groups, however, the activities of CAT and GSH-Px, and the level of GSH in the erythrocytes were significantly higher in the HPP304 and HPP305 groups than in the control group. On the other hand, the activities of CAT and GSH-Px, and the level of malondialdehyde in the liver were significantly lower in the HPP304 and HPP305 groups. The antioxidant activities of these cinnamic acid synthetic derivatives were similar to the cinnamic acid in the high-cholesterol fed rats. In addition, HPP304 and HPP305 lowered amniotransferase activity in the plasma. These results suggest that two cinnamic acid synthetic derivatives (HPP304 and HPP305) exert lipid-lowering action and antioxidant properties without hepatotoxicity in high-cholesterol fed rats. 相似文献

The relationship of microsomal cholesterol and phospholipid fatty acid composition to the activities of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase and acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase was investigated in male, female virgin and pregnant rats when hepatic cholesterogenesis was stimulated by cholestyramine. Cholestyramine increased HMG-CoA reductase activity in both sexes but had no effect on microsomal free cholesterol level or acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase activity. The data suggest that during cholestyramine treatment high rates of bile acid synthesis are supported by preferential channelling of cholesterol into this pathway, whilst the substrate pool and activity of acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase are maintained unaltered. The lack of a consistent relationship among enzyme activities and microsomal lipid composition infers that HMG-CoA reductase and acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase are regulated in vivo by independent mechanisms which are unlikely to involve modulation by the physical properties of the microsomal lipid. 相似文献
