In this study, we have examined the effects of n-3 fatty acid deficient diets on the phospholipids (PL) molecular species composition in the hippocampus. Female rats were raised for two generations on diets containing linoleic acid (18:2n-6), with or without supplementation of alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) or 18:3n-3 plus docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3). At 84 days of age, the hippocampal phospholipids were analyzed by reversed phase HPLC-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Depleting n-3 fatty acids from the diet led to a reduction of 22:6n-3 molecular species in phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), PE-plasmalogens (PLE), and phosphatidylserine (PS) by 70-80%. In general, 22:6n-3 was replaced with 22:5n-6 but the replacement at the molecular species level did not always occur in a reciprocal manner, especially in PC and PLE. In PC, the 16:0,22:6n-3 species was replaced by 16:0,22:5n-6 and 18:0,22:5n-6. In PLE, substantial increases of both 22:5n-6 and 22:4n-6 species compensated for the decreases in 22:6n-3 species in n-3 fatty acid deficient groups. While the total PL content was not affected by n-3 deficiency, the relative distribution of PS decreased by 28% with a concomitant increase in PC.The observed decrease of 22:6n-3 species along with PS reduction may represent key biochemical changes underlying losses in brain-hippocampal function associated with n-3 deficiency. 相似文献

Larval sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax of 27 days old were reared on Artemia enriched with Super Selco©, Tuna Orbital Oil or Yeast. The first diet is commonly used in mariculture for larval rearing, the second diet was designed to deliver an optimal docosahexaenoic acid (22: 6n-3) to eicosapentaenoic acid (20: 5n-3) ratio, and the third diet was deficient in docosahexaenoic acid (22: 6n-3). The eyes of these larvae were analysed after 28 days and the molecular species of the three main phospholipid classes, phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS) determined. Eyes from larvae fed Artemia enriched with yeast showed large decreases in molecular species containing 22: 6n-3 compared to those supplemented with tuna orbital oil, most notably in 16: 0/22: 6n-3 PC which fell from 10.6 to 0.4%, in 22: 6n-3/22: 6n-3 and 18: 1/22: 6n-3 PE which fell from 29.6 to 0.3% and from 10.8 to 1.1% respectively, and in 22: 6n-3/22: 6n-3 PS which fell from 34.3 to 1.7%. Molecular species containing all other fatty acids, and especially 20: 5n-3, were elevated in eyes from the yeast-supplemented fish. In larvae fed Artemia enriched with Super Selco, amounts of eye 22: 6n-3/22: 6n-3 phospholipid were slightly lower in all three phospholipid classes compared to eyes from the tuna orbital oil-supplemented larvae. There was also a trend of decreased saturated fatty acid/22: 6n-3 and monounsaturated fatty acid/22: 6n-3 molecular species in all classes from the Super Selco-supplemented fish, the deficits being made up with molecular species containing 20: 5n-3 and 22: 5n-3. These results are discussed in relation to larval viability with particular respect to visual function. 相似文献

Adult male Wistar rats were exposed to intermittent high altitude hypoxia of 7000 m simulated in a hypobaric chamber for 8 h/day, 5 days a week; the total number of exposures was 25. The concentration of individual phospholipids and their fatty acid (FA) profile was determined in right (RV) and left (LV) ventricles. Adaptation to hypoxia decreased the concentration of diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG) in hypertrophied RV by 19% and in non-hypertrophied LV by 12% in comparison with normoxic controls. Chronically hypoxic hearts exhibited lower phospholipid n-6 polyunsaturated FA (PUFA) content mainly due to decreased linoleic acid (18:2n-6), which was opposed by increased n-3 PUFA mainly due to docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) in phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylinositol (PI). The content of arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) was unchanged in total phospholipids, but in PC it was increased in both ventricles (by 22%) and in PE decreased in LV only (by 20%). Chronic hypoxia increased the un-saturation index of PC and PE in both ventricles. The content of monounsaturated FA (MUFA) was increased and 18:2n-6 decreased in DPG. The proportion of saturated FA was increased in PC and PI of hypoxic RV but not LV. The FA composition of phosphatidylserine was not altered in hypoxic ventricles. It is concluded that chronic hypoxia led to only minor changes in individual phospholipid concentration in rat ventricular myocardium, but markedly altered their FA profile. These changes, in particular the greater incorporation of n-3 PUFA into phospholipids and increased un-saturation index, may lead to a better preservation of membrane integrity and thereby contribute to improved ischemic tolerance of chronically hypoxic hearts. 相似文献

Abstract: The fatty acid composition of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), ethanolamine plasmalogens (EPs), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylcholine (PC), and sphingomyelin was studied in 22 human forebrains, ranging in age from 26 prenatal weeks to 8 postnatal years. Phospholipids were separated by two-dimensional TLC, and the fatty acid methyl esters studied by capillary column GLC. Docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) increased with age in PE and PC, whereas arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) remained quite constant. In EP, 22:6n-3 increased less markedly than 20:4n-6, adrenic (22:4n-6) and oleic (18:1n-9) acids being the predominant fatty acids during postnatal age. In PS, 18:1n-9 increased dramatically throughout development, and 20:4n-6 and 22:4n-6 increased only until ∼6 months of age. Although 22:6n-3 kept quite constant during development in PS, its percentage decreased due to the accretion of other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). As a characteristic myelin lipid, sphingomyelin was mainly constituted by very long chain saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Among them, nervonic acid (24:1n-9) was the major very long chain fatty acid in Sp, followed by 24:0, 26:1n-9, and 26:0, and its accretion after birth was dramatic. As myelination advanced, 18:1n-9 increased markedly in all four glycerophospholipids, predominating in EP, PS, and PC. In contrast, 22:6n-3 was the most important PUFA in PE in the mature forebrain. 相似文献

The fatty acid composition of constituent phospholipids and the cholesterol content of rat liver plasma membranes were determined subsequent to maternal alcohol ingestion during pregnancy and lactation. The alcoholic group was given a liquid Metrecal diet containing 37% ethanol-derived calories. The control group was pair-fed an isocaloric sucrose/Metrecal diet. Litters were killed for lipid analyses at days 5, 15 and 25 after birth. These studies revealed that the total phospholipid phosphorus was similar and increased significantly with age in both groups. Cholesterol also increased significantly with age in both groups but was greater in the alcoholic pups, resulting in a higher cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio. While the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) content increased with age in both groups, that of sphingomyelin decreased. Phosphatidylserine + phosphatidylinositol (PS + PI) was significantly higher in the control group at all ages studied. A consistent increase of C22:6 in phosphatidylcholine (PC), sphingomyelin, PS + PI and in the total phospholipid fraction from alcoholic pups was observed. Although other fatty acid changes were found in PC, PS + PI and sphingomyelin, PE was not affected. These results suggest that specific adaptive changes were induced in the liver plasma membrane lipids of the progeny from alcoholic rats. 相似文献

Recent studies on chicken semen have suggested that the lipid and fatty acid composition of spermatozoa may be important determinants of fertility. Phospholipid fatty acid composition, vitamin E content and in vitro susceptibility to lipid peroxidation of duck spermatozoa were investigated using GC-MS and HPLC based methods. The total phospholipid fraction of duck spermatozoa was characterized by high proportions of the n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids arachidonic (20:4n-6), docosatetraenoic (22:4n-6) and docosapentaenoic (22:5n-6) acids but a substantial proportion of the n-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic (22:6n-3) acid was also present. Palmitic (16:0) and stearic (18:0) fatty acids were the major saturates in sperm phospholipids. Among the phospholipid classes, phosphatidylserine (PS) had the highest degree of unsaturation due to very high proportions of 22:6n-3, 22:5n-6, 22:4n-6 and 20:4n-6, comprising together more than 75% of total fatty acids in this fraction. Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) also contained high proportions of these four C(20-22) polyunsaturates, which together formed 60% of total fatty acids in this phospholipid. Spermatozoa and seminal plasma of duck semen were characterized by unexpectedly low content of vitamin E, being more than 4-fold lower than in chicken semen. In duck semen the major proportion of the vitamin E (>70%) was located in the spermatozoa. The very high proportion of 22:6n-3 in PS and PE fractions of duck sperm lipids and the comparatively low levels of vitamin E could predispose semen to lipid peroxidation. Nevertheless the in vitro susceptibilities to Fe2+-stimulated lipid peroxidation of duck and chicken spermatozoa were very similar. The results of the study suggest that increased superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activity and increased antioxidant activity of seminal plasma may compensate for the low levels of vitamin E to help protect the membranes of duck spermatozoa, which exhibit a high degree of unsaturation from oxidative stress. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of hypo- and hyperthyroidism on the phospholipid composition in developing rat heart. The hypothyroid state (PTU) was induced by 0.05% 6-n-propyl-2-thiouracil in drinking water given to nursing mothers from the postnatal day 2–21. The hyperthyroidism (T3) was made by daily injection of 3,3,5-triiodo-L-thyronine (10 g/100 g body wt) to newborns in the same time period. Age matched intact littermates were taken as euthyroid controls. PTU decreased the concentration of total phospholipids (PL), choline phosphoglycerides (PC), ethanolamine phosphoglycerides (PE) and diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG) and increased the proportion of plasmalogen component of PE (PLPE). T3 increased the concentration of PL, PC, PE, DPG and decreased PLPE in comparison with euthyroid controls. The ratio of saturated/unsaturated fatty acids (FA) in PE was decreased in PTU and increased in T3 group. The ratio of n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated FA in PC, PE and phosphatidylinositol (PI) was increased in PTU due to increase of 18:2n-6 and decrease of 22:6n-3 proportion. T3 decreased this ratio because of decline in 20:4n-6 and rise in 22:6n-3 proportion. Both hypo- and hyperthyroidism decreased the ratio of 20:4n-6/18:2n-6 in the majority of phospholipids. PTU decreased the unsaturation index in PC, PI and phosphatidylserine. It is concluded that thyroid state plays an essential role in the development of membrane phospholipid components in cardiac membranes during the early postnatal period. 相似文献

Abstract: Docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) is the major polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in the CNS and accumulates particularly in phosphatidylserine (PS). We have investigated the effect of the 22:6n-3 compositional status on the synthesis of PS. The fatty acid composition of brain microsomes from offspring of rats artificially reared on an n-3-deficient diet showed a dramatic reduction of 22:6n-3 content (1.7 ± 0.1%) when compared with control animals (15.0 ± 0.2%). The decrease was accompanied by an increase in docosapentaenoic acid (22:5n-6) content, which replaced the 22:6n-3 phospholipids with 22:5n-6 molecular species, as demonstrated using HPLC/electrospray mass spectrometry. The n-3 deficiency did not affect the total amount of polyunsaturated phospholipids in brain microsomes; however, it was associated with a decrease in the total polyunsaturated PS content and with increased levels of 1-stearoyl-2-docosapentanoyl (18:0/22:5n-6) species, particularly in phosphatidylcholine. Incorporation of [3 H]serine into PS in rat brain microsomes from n-3-deficient animals was slightly but significantly less than that of the control animals. Similarly, C6 glioma cells cultured for 24 h in 22:6n-3-supplemented media (10–40 µ M ) showed a significant increase in the synthesis of [3 H]PS when compared with unsupplemented cells. Our data show that neuronal and glial PS synthesis is sensitive to changes in the docosahexaenoate levels of phospholipids and suggest that 22:6n-3 may be a modulator of PS synthesis. 相似文献

The effects of embryonic exposure on brain phospholipid levels were studied by injecting various concentrations of ethanol into fertile chicken eggs at 0 days of development. At 18 days of development, the levels of total phospholipids and various phospholipid classes were assayed in brain tissue and correlated to neuron densities within the cerebral hemispheres and the optic lobes. Although ethanol concentrations ranging from 0 to 3700 μm/Kg egg wt. failed to influence either total brain weight or total brain phospholipid levels, ethanol-induced changes in the levels of individual phospholipid classes were observed. When injected with 7 μm of ethanol/Kg egg wt., a 2- to 3-fold increase in brain phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) levels were observed with reduced levels of brain phosphatidylcholine (PC) and brain sphingomyelin (SP). When injected with 74 μm of ethanol/Kg egg wt., ethanol-induced increases in brain phosphatidylserine (PS) and PE were observed with ethanol-induced decreases in brain PC and SP. Cell fractionation studies demonstrated ethanol-induced increases in brain PE and PS and ethanol-induced decreases in brain PC and SP in nuclear, mitochondrial, and microsomal membranes. These ethanol-induced alterations in brain phospholipid profiles correlated with ethanol-induced reductions in neuron densities within the cerebral hemispheres and optic lobes. 相似文献

1. Data presented here demonstrate that polyunsaturated fatty acids in the phospholipids of rainbow trout tissues are compartmentalized differently than in mammalian tissues. 2. We have determined the distribution of omega-3 (n-3) and omega-6 (n-6) fatty acids in the alkyl-, alk-1-enyl-, and diacyl- subclasses of phosphatidylcholines (PC), phosphatidyl-ethanolamines (PE), phosphatidylinositols (PI), and phosphatidylserines (PS) from gill, kidney and spleen of rainbow trout. 3. Alkyl-linked PC and alk-1-enyl-linked PE were the most abundant ether-containing phospholipids, amounting to 10-15% of each class; no ether-linked PI or PS was detected. 4. C20:4 n-6 was found in high concentrations only in PI; the n-3 fatty acids were found in highest concentration in the ether-linked phospholipids as compared with the diacyl subclasses and C20:5 n-3 was especially prevalent in 1-O-alk-1'-enyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine and C22:6 n-3 was prevalent in PS. 相似文献

The effect of low-salt diet on phospholipid composition and remodeling was examined in rat colon which represents a mineralocorticoid target tissue. To elucidate this question, male Wistar rats were fed a low-salt diet and drank distilled water (LS, low-salt group) or saline instead of water (HS, high-salt group) for 12 days before the phospholipid concentration and fatty acid composition of isolated colonocytes were examined. The dietary regimens significantly influenced the plasma concentration of aldosterone which was high in LS group and almost zero in HS group. Plasma concentration of corticosterone was unchanged. When expressed in terms of cellular protein content, a significantly higher concentration of phospholipids was found in LS group, with the exception of sphingomyelin (SM) and phosphatidylserine (PS). Phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) accounted for more than 70% of total phospholipids in both groups. A comparison of phospholipid distribution in LS and HS groups demonstrated a higher percentage of PE and a small, but significant, decrease of PC and SM in LS group. The percentage of phosphatidylinositol (PI), PS and cardiolipin (CL) were not affected by mineralocorticoid treatment. With respect to the major phospholipids (PE, PC), a higher level of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and lower levels of monounsaturated fatty acids were detected in PC of LS group. The increase of PUFA predominantly reflected an increase in arachidonic acid by 53%. In comparison to the HS group, oleic acid content was decreased in PC and PE isolated from colonocytes of the LS group. Our data indicate that alterations in phospholipid concentration and metabolism can be detected in rats with secondary hyperaldosteronism. The changes in phospholipid concentration and their fatty acid composition during fully developed effect of low dietary Na+ intake may reflect a physiologically important phenomenon with long-term consequences for membrane structure and function. 相似文献

Rats fed a safflower oil (alpha-linolenic acid (ALNA)-deficient) diet over the course of two generations had significantly decreased docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) and increased docosapentaenoic acid (22:5n-6) contents in the major retinal phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylserine (PS) when compared with those fed a perilla oil (ALNA-sufficient) diet, but the compositions of phosphatidylinositol acyl chains were relatively unaffected. The contents of individual phospholipids in the retina were essentially the same for the two dietary groups. The activities of the rate-limiting enzymes in the de novo synthesis of PC and PE, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT), and CTP:phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase (ET), respectively, were measured in the retinas excised at 5:00, 9:00, 13:00, and 17:00 h from rats adapted to a 24-h cycle with lights on from 7:00 to 19:00 h. Both enzymes exhibited significant diurnal rhythms with the lowest activities at 5:00 h and gradually increasing activities following exposure of the rats to light; the maximum activities were at 13:00 h for CT and 17:00 h for ET. The diurnal rhythms were not significantly affected by the above-mentioned diets. However, both enzyme activities at each collection time point were significantly lower in the safflower oil group than in the perilla oil group. These results suggest that retinal phospholipid turnover associated with shedding, phagocytosis, and resynthesis of the rod outer segments is limited by ALNA deficiency. 相似文献

Phospholipids (PL) in cerebral cortex from patients with infantile (INCL or CLN1) and juvenile (JNCL or CLN3) forms of neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (NCL) and controls were analysed by normal phase HPLC and on-line electrospray ionization ion-trap mass spectrometric detection (LC-ESI-MS). The method provided quantitative data on numerous molecular species of different PL classes, which are not achieved by using the conventional chromatographic methods. Compared with the controls, the INCL brains contained proportionally more phosphatidylcholine (PC), and less phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS). Different molecular species of PC, PE, PS, phosphatidylinositol and sphingomyelin were quantified using multiple internal PL standards that differed in fatty acyl chain length and thus allowed correction for chain length dependency of instrument response. In INCL cortex, which had lost 65% of the normal PL content, the proportions of polyunsaturated molecular species, especially the PS and PE that contained docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3), were dramatically decreased. The membranes may have adapted to this alteration by increasing the proportions of PL molecules substituted with monounsaturated and short-chain fatty acids. Lysobisphosphatidic acid was highly elevated in the INCL brain and consisted mostly of polyunsaturated species. It is possible that changes in the composition of PL membranes accelerate progression of INCL by altering signalling and membrane trafficking in neurons. 相似文献

Erythrocyte and blood platelet phospholipid compositions were studied in three elephant seals and two fur seals, two species of marine mammals living in the Subantarctic region feeding on preys rich in (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids. Results were compared with those reported for related species and humans. In erythrocytes, the phospholipid (PL) and cholesterol (CHOL) contents were lower in pinnipeds than in humans. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) levels were higher in elephant seals than in fur seals, with a reverse trend for phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS). Both species had lower SM/PC ratios and PE plasmalogen concentrations than human. Erythrocytes were richer in (n-3) fatty acids (FA) in pinnipeds than in humans. In platelets, the PL content was lower and the CHOL content higher in elephant seals than in humans or in other phocid seal species studied to date. The SM/PC ratio was much higher than in other seal species or in man. In both species, the proportion of PE plasmalogens was higher in platelets than in erythrocytes. PL were more saturated in elephant seals than in fur seals. These results suggest that the erythrocytes and platelets of wild marine mammals may prove useful models to study the influence of dietary lipids on the structure and hemostatic function of these cells. 相似文献

The synthesis of phospholipids in mammalian cells is regulated by the availability of three critical precursor pools: those of choline, cytidine triphosphate and diacylglycerol. Diacylglycerols containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) apparently are preferentially utilized for phosphatide synthesis. PUFAs are known to play an important role in the development and function of mammalian brains. We therefore studied the effects of unsaturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids on the overall rates of phospholipid biosynthesis in PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cells. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6) all significantly stimulated the incorporation of (14)C-choline into total cellular phospholipids. In contrast, monounsaturated oleic acid (OA) and the saturated palmitic (PA) and stearic (SA) acids did not have this effect. The action of DHA was concentration-dependent between 5 and 50 microM; it became statistically significant by 3 h after DHA treatment and then increased over the ensuing 3 h. DHA was preferentially incorporated into phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS), while AA predominated in phosphatidylcholine (PC). 相似文献

Enrichment of Neuro 2A cells with docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) decreased apoptotic cell death induced by serum starvation as evidenced by the reduced DNA fragmentation and caspase-3 activity. The protective effect of 22:6n-3 became evident only after at least 24 h of enrichment before serum starvation and was potentiated as a function of the enrichment period. During enrichment 22:6n-3 incorporated into phosphatidylserine (PS) steadily, resulting in a significant increase in the total PS content. Similar treatment with oleic acid (18:1n-9) neither altered PS content nor resulted in protective effect. Hindering PS accumulation by enriching cells in a serine-free medium diminished the protective effect of 22:6n-3. Membrane translocation of Raf-1 was significantly enhanced by 22:6n-3 enrichment in Neuro 2A cells. Consistently, in vitro biomolecular interaction between PS/phosphatidylethanolamine /phosphatidylcholine liposomes, and Raf-1 increased in a PS concentration-dependent manner. Collectively, enrichment of neuronal cells with 22:6n-3 increases the PS content and Raf-1 translocation, down-regulates caspase-3 activity, and prevents apoptotic cell death. Both the antiapoptotic effect of 22:6n-3 and Raf-1 translocation are sensitive to 22:6n-3 enrichment-induced PS accumulation, strongly suggesting that the protective effect of 22:6n-3 may be mediated at least in part through the promoted accumulation of PS in neuronal membranes. 相似文献

The molecular species composition of membrane phospholipids influences the activities of integral proteins and cell signalling pathways. We determined the effect of increasing gestational age on fetal guinea pig liver phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and plasma PC molecular species composition. The livers were collected from fetuses (n = 5/time point) at 5 day intervals between 40 and 65 days of gestation, and at term (68 days). Hepatic PC and PE molecular species composition was determined by electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry. An increasing gestational age was accompanied by selective changes in individual molecular species. The proportion of the sn-1 18:0 species increased relative to the sn-1 16:0 species in liver PC, but not PE, with an increasing gestational age. 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl PC species concentrations decreased significantly between 40 and 45 days of gestation (40%), and 65 and 68 days (54%). Total 1-O-alkenyl-2-acyl PE species concentration increased between days 60 and 65, due to a rise in 1-O-16:0 alkyl/20:4 content, and then decreased until term. Between day 40 and term, PC and PE sn-2 18:2n-6 species concentrations increased 3-fold. PC16:0/18:2 increased gradually throughout gestation, while PC18:0/18:2 content only increased after day 65. The overall increase in PE18:2n-6 content was due to PE18:0/18:2 alone. The composition of plasma PC essentially reflected hepatic PC. Overall, these data suggest differential regulation of hepatic PC and PE molecular species composition during development which is essentially independent of the maternal fatty acid supply. 相似文献

The use of HPLC coupled on-line with a mass spectrometer is a very powerful tool in order to analyze intact PLs molecular species (PMS) without the need of derivatization, thus decreasing the risk of artifacts formation. A normal-phase HPLC-ESI-MS-MS method has been developed in order to study the human blood mononuclear cell PMS composition. This method was applied to characterize PMS from seven CF subjects and from seven age-matched healthy subjects. More than 140 phospholipid molecular species from phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), plasmalogen phosphatidylethanolamine (pPE), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylcholine (PC) and sphingomyelin (Sph) were identified and compared. Differences between the two groups were found in pPE (p16:0/22:6), pPE (p18:0/22:6), PE (16:0/20:4) and PC (16:0/18:2) which were significantly lower in CF subjects and in PC (16:0/16:1) which was significantly higher in CF subjects. 相似文献

We investigated whether maternal fat intake alters amniotic fluid and fetal intestine phospholipid n-6 and n-3 fatty acids. Female rats were fed a 20% by weight diet from fat with 20% linoleic acid (LA; 18:2n-6) and 8% alpha-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3n-3) (control diet, n = 8) or 72% LA and 0.2% ALA (n-3 deficient diet, n = 7) from 2 wk before and then throughout gestation. Amniotic fluid and fetal intestine phospholipid fatty acids were analyzed at day 19 gestation using HPLC and gas-liquid chromotography. Amniotic fluid had significantly lower docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) and higher docosapentaenoic acid (DPA; 22:5n-6) levels in the n-3-deficient group than in the control group (DHA: 1.29 +/- 0.10 and 6.29 +/- 0.33 g/100 g fatty acid; DPA: 4.01 +/- 0.35 and 0.73 +/- 0.15 g/100 g fatty acid, respectively); these differences in DHA and DPA were present in amniotic fluid cholesterol esters and phosphatidylcholine (PC). Fetal intestines in the n-3-deficient group had significantly higher LA, arachidonic acid (20:4n-6), and DPA levels; lower eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3) and DHA levels in PC; and significantly higher DPA and lower EPA and DHA levels in phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) than in the control group; the n-6-to-n-3 fatty acid ratio was 4.9 +/- 0.2 and 32.2 +/- 2.1 in PC and 2.4 +/- 0.03 and 17.1 +/- 0.21 in PE in n-3-deficient and control group intestines, respectively. We demonstrate that maternal dietary fat influences amniotic fluid and fetal intestinal membrane structural lipid essential fatty acids. Maternal dietary fat can influence tissue composition by manipulation of amniotic fluid that is swallowed by the fetus or by transport across the placenta. 相似文献

Regulation of β-adrenoceptor properties and the lipid milieu in heart muscle membranes during stress

The purpose of this study was to examine changes in fatty acyl chain composition of major cardiac phospholipids in relation to down-regulation of -adrenoceptors during various forms of stress or chronic adrenergic stimulation. Analysis of the fatty acid profile of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in sarcolemma or cardiac muscle membranes showed partial replacement of 18:2n-6 by 20:4n-6 in PC and replacement of both 18:2n-6 and 20:4n-6 by 22:6n-3 in PE during daily administration of epinephrine or norepinephrine for 7 or 15 days, respectively These changes in membrane PC and PE coincided with down-regulation or the decrease in Bmax of -adrenoceptors during adrenergic stimulation. Cardiac membrane response to other forms of stress or chronic adrenergic stimulation such as neonatal stress, restriction stress or restricted food intake was expressed in the same way, that is replacement of 18:2n-6 by 20:4n-6 in PC and replacement of 18:2n-6 and 20:4n-6 by 22:6n-3 in PE.Conclusion: Adaptation to stress includes a decrease in the density of binding sites or down-regulation of -adrenoceptors in sarcolemma synchronized with specific alterations in the fatty acyl chain composition within the membrane bilayer. The changes in the lipid milieu of the membrane may facilitate conformational changes in the transmembrane segment of the receptor forming the ligand binding sites of the -adrenoceptor. 相似文献
