Rats were fed diets devoid of (n-3) fatty acids (olive oil supplementation) or high in (n-3) fatty acids (fish oil supplementation) for a period of 10 days. In spleen lymphocytes and liver microsomes derived from animals fed fish oil diets, relatively high levels of (n-3) eicosapentaenoic (20:5), docosapentaenoic (22:5) and docosahexaenoic acids (22:6) were obtained compared to minimal levels when fed the olive oil diet. When the average lipid motional properties were examined by measuring the fluorescence anisotropy of diphenylhexatriene, no significant different was found between intact liver microsomes from animals fed the two diets. However, when lipid motion was examined in vesicles of phosphatidylcholine, isolated from the microsomes from fish oil fed animals (21.4% (n-3) fatty acids), the fluorescence anisotropy was significantly less than the corresponding phosphatidylcholine from olive oil fed animals (5.6% (n-3) fatty acids), indicating a more disordered or fluid bilayer in the presence of higher levels of (n-3) fatty acids. Phosphatidylethanolamine (n-3) fatty acids were also elevated after fish oil supplementation (41.3% of total fatty acids), compared to the level after olive oil supplementation (21.4%). The major effect of the fish oil supplementation was a replacement of (n-6) arachidonic acid by the (n-3) fatty acids and when this was 'modeled', using liposomes of synthetic lipids, 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl(n-6) or docosahexaenoyl(n-3)-phosphatidylcholine, significant differences in lipid motional properties were found, with the docosahexaenoate conferring a more disordered or fluid lipid environment. Thus it appears that although lipid order/fluidity can be significantly decreased by increases in the highly unsaturated (n-3) fatty acid levels, alterations in membrane domain organization and/or phospholipid molecular species composition effectively compensated for the changes, at least as far as average lipid motional properties in the intact membranes was concerned.  相似文献

Based on the results from a human study which showed significantly reduced incorporation of DPA compared with EPA into chylomicrons, this study was designed to test if dietary DPA was significantly less absorbed than EPA. Male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups of six, and were fed a semi-synthetic high fat diet (23.5% fat) for 9 days. The test omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DPA, 250 mg/animal/day, free fatty acid form) or olive oil (250 mg/animal/day) were added to the high fat diet on days 5, 6 and 7. Dietary EPA and DPA appeared in the faeces on days 6, 7 and 8, with the total amount of DPA excreted being 4.6-fold greater than that of EPA. The total amount of faecal fat did not differ significantly between the groups. At the conclusion of the study (day 9), it was found that liver DPA, EPA and total n-3 LC-PUFA levels were significantly increased by both DPA and EPA feeding compared with the olive oil fed control group. In the heart, DPA feeding increased the DPA content and both DPA and EPA feeding increased the total n-3 LC-PUFA levels. This study showed that DPA and EPA, both provided in free form, are metabolised differently, despite being chemically similar.  相似文献

Abstract: Diabetic neuropathy is a degenerative complication of diabetes accompanied by an alteration of nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and Na,K-ATPase activity. The present study in rats was designed first to measure diabetes-induced abnormalities in Na,K-ATPase activity, isoenzyme expression, fatty acid content in sciatic nerve membranes, and NCV and second to assess the preventive ability of a fish oil-rich diet (rich in n-3 fatty acids) on these abnormalities. Diabetes was induced by intravenous streptozotocin injection. Diabetic animals (D) and nondiabetic control animals (C) were fed the standard rat chow either without supplementation or supplemented with either fish oil (DM, CM) or olive oil (DO, CO) at a daily dose of 0.5 g/kg by gavage during 8 weeks. Analysis of the fatty acid composition of purified sciatic nerve membranes from diabetic animals showed a decreased incorporation of C16:1(n-7) fatty acids and arachidonic acids. Fish oil supplementation changed the fatty acid content of sciatic nerve membranes, decreasing C18:2(n-6) fatty acids and preventing the decreases of arachidonic acids and C18:1(n-9) fatty acids. Protein expression of Na,K-ATPase α subunits, Na,K-ATPase activity, and ouabain affinity were assayed in purified sciatic nerve membranes from CO, DO, and DM. Na,K-ATPase activity was significantly lower in sciatic nerve membranes of diabetic rats and significantly restored in diabetic animals that received fish oil supplementation. Diabetes induced a specific decrease of α1- and α3-isoform activity and protein expression in sciatic nerve membranes. Fish oil supplementation restored partial activity and expression to varying degrees depending on the isoenzyme. These effects were associated with a significant beneficial effect on NCV. This study indicates that fish oil has beneficial effects on diabetes-induced alterations in sciatic nerve Na,K-ATPase activity and function.  相似文献

Five groups of lactating sows were fed diets containing 8% of either added rapeseed oil, fish oil or sunflower oil and 60 mg vitamin E/kg feed, or the diets with sunflower oil and fish oil, respectively, supplemented with 500 mg vitamin E/kg. Supplementation of vitamin E to the sows increased the concentration of alpha-tocopherol of the muscle, and addition of sunflower oil decreased the activity of glutathione peroxidase in liver cytosol compared to fish oil and rapeseed oil. The composition of fatty acids of alveolar macrophages (AM) of piglets was influenced by the dietary fat sources provided the sows, i.e., the ratio of n-6:n-3 fatty acids was highest in AM of piglets suckling sows of the sunflower oil treatments, and lowest in AM of piglets suckling sows fed fish oil with the rapeseed oil treatment in between. The ex vivo synthesis of prostaglandin E(2) and thromboxane B(2) in AM of piglets suckling sows fed sunflower oil was elevated compared to piglets suckling sows fed fish oil. Vitamin E supplementation to sows enhanced the synthesis of these eicosanoids, and also the concentration of alpha-tocopherol in the AM of the piglets.  相似文献

Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) derived from fatty fish or fish oil may reduce the incidence of lethal myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. This might be due to a prevention of fatal cardiac arrhythmias. So far, however, only few clinical data are available being adequate to define indications for an antiarrhythmic treatment with n-3 PUFA. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study 65 patients with cardiac arrhythmias without coronary heart disease or heart failure were subdivided into 2 groups. One group (n = 33) was supplemented with encapsulated fish oil (3g/day, equivalent to 1g/day of n-3 PUFA) over 6 months. The other group (n = 32) was given 3g/day of olive oil as placebo. In the fish oil group a decrease of serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, plasma free fatty acids and thromboxane B2 as well as an increase of HDL cholesterol were observed. Moreover, a reduced incidence of atrial and ventricular premature complexes, couplets and triplets were documented. Accordingly, higher grades of Lown's classification switched to lower grades at the end of the dietary period. No changes were seen in the placebo group. The data indicate an antiarrhythmic action of n-3 PUFA under conditions of clinical practice which might help to explain the reduced incidence of fatal myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death in cohorts on a fish-rich diet or supplemented with n-3 PUFA. Further studies elucidating the possible link between the reduced incidence of cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death by dietary intake of n-3 PUFA are warranted.  相似文献

We have studied the effects of semisynthetic diets containing 5% by weight (12% of the energy) of either olive oil (70% oleic acid, OA) or corn oil (58% linoleic acid), or fish oil (Max EPA, containing about 30% eicosapentaenoic, EPA C 20:5 n-3, plus docosahexaenoic, DHA C 22:6 n-3, acids, and less than 2% linoleic acid), fed to male rabbits for a period of five weeks, on plasma and platelet fatty acids and platelet thromboxane formation. Aim of the study was to quantitate the absolute changes of n-6 and n-3 fatty acid levels in plasma and platelet lipid pools after dietary manipulations and to correlate the effects on eicosanoid-precursor fatty acids with those on platelet thromboxane formation. The major differences were found when comparing the group fed fish oil and depleted linoleic acid vs the other groups. The accumulation of n-3 fatty acids in various lipid classes was associated with modifications in the distribution of linoleic acid and arachidonic acid in different lipid pools. In platelets maximal incorporation of n-3 fatty acids occurred in phosphatidyl ethanolamine, which also participated in most of the total arachidonic acid reduction occurring in platelets, and linoleic acid, more than archidonic acid, was replaced by n-3 fatty acids in various phospholipids. The archidonic acid content of phosphatidyl choline was unaffected and that of phosphatidyl inositol only marginally reduced. Thromboxane formation by thrombin stimulated platelets did not differ among the three groups, and this may be related to the minimal changes of arachidonic acid in phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl inositol.  相似文献

Both estrogen and dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are known to be hypocholesterolemic, but appear to exert their effects by different mechanisms. In this study, the interaction between dietary fish oil (rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids) and estrogen in the regulation of hepatic cholesterol metabolism and biliary lipid secretion in rats was studied. Rats fed a low fat or a fish oil-supplemented diet for 21 days were injected with 17alpha-ethinyl estradiol (5 mg/kg body weight) or the vehicle only (control rats) once per day for 3 consecutive days. Estrogen-treatment led to a marked reduction in plasma cholesterol levels in fish oil-fed rats, which was greater than that observed with either estrogen or dietary fish oil alone. The expression of mRNA for cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase was decreased by estrogen in rats fed a low fat or a fish oil-supplemented diet, while the output of cholesterol (micromol/h/kg b.wt.) in the bile was unchanged in both groups. Cholesterol levels in the liver were increased by estrogen in rats given either diet, but there was a significant shift from cholesterol esterification to cholesteryl ester hydrolysis only in the fish oil-fed animals. Estrogen increased the concentration of cholesterol (micromol/ml) in the bile in rats fed the fish oil, but not the low fat diet. However, the cholesterol saturation index was unaffected. The output and concentration of total bile acid was also unaffected, but changes in the distribution of the individual bile acids were observed with estrogen treatment in both low fat and fish oil-fed groups. These results show that interaction between estrogen-treatment and dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids causes changes in hepatic cholesterol metabolism and biliary lipid secretion in rats, but does not increase the excretion of cholesterol from the body.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the time-course incorporation of dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids into phospholipids of tissues highly involved in lipid and energy metabolism: the liver and the white (WAT) and brown (BAT) adipose tissues. Rats were fed a diet supplemented with 19% fish oil for up to 4 weeks. Minor changes in the relative proportions of tissue phospholipids were observed in the three tissues. Fish-oil feeding induced rapid and large replacements of n-6 fatty acids by n-3 fatty acids. In liver, the 22:6n-3 level increased progressively and reached a plateau after 3 (phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine) or 7 days (phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol). In contrast, the 20:5n-3 level transiently peaked in all liver phospholipids at days 1–3 before reaching a plateau after day 7. In WAT as in BAT the level of n-3 fatty acids increased progressively and reached in all phospholipids a plateau after day 7. As a general trend, in each phospholipid class the 22:6n-3/20:5n-3 ratio was higher in liver than in the two adipose tissues. This study shows that each dietary n-3 fatty acid is incorporated very rapidly into liver, WAT, and BAT phospholipids but according to time courses and at levels that depend simultaneously on the tissue and phospholipid class considered.  相似文献

Female Wistar rats were fed with diets containing as dietary lipids 10% of hydrogenated coconut oil, grape-seed oil, olive oil, linseed oil and fish oil, respectively, for a period of 60 days. At the end of dietary treatment plasma, platelets and aorta phospholipids were extracted and fatty acid spectra determined. Plasma and platelet phospholipids showed the largest diet dependent changes. Anyway in aorta samples too, phospholipids showed marked increase in oleic (olive oil group) linoleic (grape-seed oil group) and alpha linoleic (linseed oil group) acids percentage. Conversely decreased amounts of arachidonic acid were detected in rats fed with diets containing linseed and fish oils. In these samples eicosapentenoic acid partly replaced arachidonic one.  相似文献

The fatty acid profile of hepatocytes and adipocytes is determined by the composition of the dietary lipids. It remains unclear which fatty acid components contribute to the development or reduction of insulin resistance. The present work examined the fatty acid composition of both tissues in sucrose-induced obese rats receiving fish oil to determine whether the effect of dietary (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on the reversion of metabolic syndrome in these rats is associated to changes in the fatty acid composition of hepatocyte and adipocyte membrane lipids. Animals with metabolic syndrome were divided into a corn–canola oil diet group and a fish oil diet group, and tissues fatty acids composition were analyzed after 6 weeks of dietary treatment. Fatty acid profiles of the total membrane lipids were modified by the fatty acid composition of the diets fed to rats. N-3 PUFAs levels in animals receiving the fish oil diet plus sucrose in drinking water were significantly higher than in animals under corn–canola oil diets. It is concluded that in sucrose-induced obese rats, consumption of dietary fish oil had beneficial effects on the metabolic syndrome and that such effects would be conditioned by the changes in the n-3 PUFAs composition in hepatic and adipose tissues because they alter membrane properties and modify the type of substrates available for the production of active lipid metabolites acting on insulin resistance and obesity.  相似文献

Essential fatty acid deficient male Sprague Dawley rats were fed for 7 days a fat-free semi-synthetic diet supplemented with 10% by weight of different oil supplements. The oil supplement was a mixture of olive, safflower and linseed oils prepared at different proportions so the dietary n-9/n-6/n-3 ratios were approximate 2/1/1, 1/2/1, 1/1/2, and 1/1/1. The fatty acid compositions of plasma and liver lipids were then examined. Our results show polyunsaturated n-6 and n-3 fatty acids were selectively incorporated into plasma and liver phospholipids, and also into plasma cholesteryl esters. A preferential incorporation of n-6 over n-3 fatty acids into plasma cholesteryl esters and phospholipids was also observed.  相似文献

Sex differences in n-3 and n-6 fatty acid metabolism in EFA-depleted rats   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
We studied the effect of sex on the distribution of long-chain n-3 and n-6 fatty acids in essential fatty acid-deficient rats fed gamma-linolenate (GLA) concentrate and/or eicosapentaenoate and docosahexaenoate-rich fish oil (FO). Male and female weanling rats were rendered essential fatty acid deficient by maintaining them on a fat-free semisynthetic diet for 8 weeks. Thereafter, animals of each sex were separated into three groups (n = 6) and given, for 2 consecutive days by gastric intubation, 4 g/kg body wt per day of GLA concentrate (containing 84% 18:2n-6), n-3 fatty acid-rich FO (containing 18% 20:5n-3 and 52% 22:6n-3), or an equal mixture of the two oil preparations (GLA + FO). The fatty acid distributions in plasma and liver lipids were then examined. GLA treatment increased the levels of C-20 and C-22 n-6 fatty acids in all lipid fractions indicating that GLA was rapidly metabolized. However, the increases in 20:3n-6 were less in females than those in males, while those in 20:4n-6 were greater, suggesting that the conversion of 20:3n-6 to 20:4n-6 was more active in female than in male rats. FO treatment increased the levels of 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3 and reduced those of 20:4n-6. The increase in n-3 fatty acids was greater in females than that in males and the reduction in 20:4n-6 was smaller. Consequently, the sum of total long-chain EFAs incorporated was greater in females than that in males. The administration of n-3 fatty acids also reduced the ratio of 20:4n-6 to 20:3n-6 in GLA + FO-treated rats indicating that n-3 fatty acids inhibited the activity of delta-5-desaturase. However, this effect was not affected by the sex difference.  相似文献

Variations in dietary fatty acid composition influence the biological behaviour of certain tumours. Diets enriched with oleic acid (18:1 n-9) seem to promote tumour progression on several lines due perhaps to the development of essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD), whereas n-3 fatty acids have a protective effect. Since the role played by lipids on salivary gland tumorigenesis has not yet been studied, an experimental model is presented. BALB/c mice were fed on four different diets: control, corn oil, fish oil and olein groups. Salivary gland adenocarcinomas were chemically induced by using 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene. Animals were sacrificed at the 20th post-injection week and several tumour parameters were analysed. Linoleic acid showed no promoting activity. Tumour size was larger in the olein group than in fish oil fed mice, indicating that the oleic acid, linked to the induced EFAD condition, has a protumorigenic activity whereas n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids appear to exert a protective effect.  相似文献

Male Syrian hamsters consumed diets containing incremental increases in dietary n-3 fatty acids from fish oil with either low (0.015% w/w) or moderate (0.1% w/w) dietary cholesterol content. Animals consuming diets containing moderate cholesterol, but not animals consuming diets containing low cholesterol, had increased plasma very low (VLDL)- and low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels with increasing fish oil consumption. The plasma concentration of high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol decreased by 43 and 32% with the consumption of the highest fish oil diets in the low and moderate dietary cholesterol groups, respectively. Hepatic LDL-receptor binding activity did not change with the consumption of low cholesterol diets, but gradually decreased with fish oil consumption in animals consuming the moderate cholesterol diets. Hepatic LDL-receptor binding and plasma LDL-cholesterol levels of the different dietary fish oil groups were highly correlated (r = -0.91). Fish oil consumption also caused an increase in hepatic free cholesterol but a decreased cholesteryl ester content. Therefore, in the Syrian hamster, the consumption of n-3 fatty acids increases LDL-cholesterol levels which can be partially explained by decreased hepatic LDL-receptor binding and this response to dietary n-3 fatty acids is dependent on the dietary cholesterol content. However, the effects of dietary n-3 fatty acids on HDL-cholesterol are independent of dietary cholesterol content.  相似文献

Recent reports suggest modulation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids. In the present study, we re-examined this possibility by using an established animal model of pulmonary sensitisation. Adult guinea pigs were fed diets supplemented (10% w/w) with either olive, canola or safflower oil for 4 weeks before sensitising with ovalbumin and continuing on various diets for a further 6 week period. Neither the contraction following ovalbumin challenge, nor the responses to histamine, carbachol and various eicosanoid mediators - prostaglandin F(2 alpha), leukotriene C(4), thromboxane mimetic U44619 - of isolated segments of airway tissue were altered (P>0.05, ANOVA) by the dietary lipid treatment. Lipid analysis showed changes in membrane linoleic acid (18:2n-6) and alpha -linolenic acids (alpha 18:3n-3) in lung phospholipids consistent with dietary intakes. However, no significant further desaturation/elongation of these dietary precursors was evident. Ovalbumin induced contraction was fully reversed by the lipoxygenase inhibitor esculetin whilst indomethacin resulted in a slight increase possibly due to the inhibition of bronchodilator prostanoids. Results confirm that under the conditions employed airway function was not influenced by the variable dietary intakes of n-3 and n-6 PUFA.  相似文献

To measure the effects of dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplementation on the reproductive capacity of adult male turkeys in industrial flocks, the males of 22 commercial farms were fed either a standard diet or a fish oil diet enriched in n-3 PUFAs. The fatty acid composition of the spermatozoa and reproductive performance were measured throughout the reproductive period. The fish oil diet very effectively increased the percentage of n-3 fatty acids (FA) (22:5n-3 and 22:6n-3) in spermatozoa and correspondingly decreased the percentage of n-6 PUFAs (20:4-6 and 22:4n-6): the n-3/n-6 ratio in spermatozoa fatty acids were 0.04-0.07 with the standard diet and 0.32-0.4 with the fish oil diet. These changes did not affect the spermatozoa content of n-9 PUFAs, particularly of 22:3n-9 which is abundant in turkey spermatozoa (9-12% of the total fatty acids). The supplementation was effective in the middle as at the end of the reproductive period. The reproductive capacity of males was modified by the diet and the positive effect of the n-3 supplemented diet increased with age (increase in hatching rates of nearly 2 points at 48-58 weeks for males fed fish oil diet). These results indicate that an increase in the dietary ratio of n-3/n-6 PUFAs is valuable to sustain the reproductive capacity of male turkeys especially when they are getting older.  相似文献

The effect of dietary n-6/n-3 fatty acid ratio on alpha-tocopherol homeostasis was investigated in rats. Animals were fed diets containing fat (17% w/w) in which the n-6/n-3 ratio varied from 50 to 0.8. This was achieved by combining corn oil, fish oil, and lard. The polyunsaturated to saturated ratio and total alpha-tocopherol remained constant in all diets. Results showed that enrichment of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet, even at a low amount (3.9% w/w), resulted in a dramatic reduction of blood alpha-tocopherol concentration, which, in fact, is the result of a decrease in plasma lipids, since the alpha-tocopherol to total lipids ratio was not significantly altered. The most striking effect observed was a considerable alpha-tocopherol enrichment (x 4) of the heart as its membranes became enriched with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. This process appeared even with a low amount of fish oil (3.9% w/w) added to the diet. Accordingly, a strong positive correlation was found between heart alpha-tocopherol and docosahexaenoic acid (r = 0.86) or docosahexaenoic acid plus eicosapentaenoic acid levels (r = 0.84). Conversely, the liver alpha-tocopherol level dropped dramatically when n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were gradually added to the diet. It is concluded that fish oil intake dramatically alters the alpha-tocopherol homeostasis in rats.  相似文献

The study was carried out on 42 breeder couples (42 males and 42 females) of European brown hare (Lepus europaeus), divided into three groups fed three different experimental diets (14 couples/treatment). Two diets were supplemented with n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs; 2% of linseed oil and soybean oil, respectively) and were compared with a control diet supplemented with a monounsaturated fatty acids (2% of olive oil). During the experimental period (from 15 April to 30 September), the following parameters were recorded: days from the beginning of trial to the first parturition, parturition interval, number of parturitions, number of leverets born (alive and dead), dead during suckling, the total number of leverets weaned and feed intake per cage (of males, females and leverets until weaning). Feed intake was not influenced by treatments. In hares fed n-3 and n-6 diets, the days from the beginning of the trial to the first parturition and the parturition interval were similar and were lower compared with control group (63.1 v. 70.6 days, and 37.8 v. 40.9 days, respectively; P < 0.05). Hares from n-6 group had a higher (P < 0.05) number of parturitions per cage during the experimental period than the n-3 and control group that showed a similar value (3.00 v. 2.36, respectively). The total number of leverets born per cage and parturition in n-6 and n-3 groups increased with respect to those fed control diet (P < 0.05). The leverets' mortality rate at birth was higher in n-6 than in n-3 and control group (3.50 v. 2.17, respectively; P < 0.05). In control group, leverets' mortality rate during suckling was lower with respect to n-3 (P < 0.05) and n-6 (P < 0.05), showing the highest value for the latter (P < 0.05). In spite of this higher mortality, the number of leverets weaned per cage and parturition was higher (P < 0.05) in n-6 compared with n-3 group, being the latter higher than the control group (3.12, 2.79 and 2.43, respectively). Our results show that the dietary PUFAs, particularly n-6 supplementation, have a positive influence on the reproductive performances of the European brown hare.  相似文献

This study examined the modulation of the antioxidant status and related physiological changes in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss under different levels of dietary n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n-3 HUFA) and vitamin E. Six diets containing 0, 100 or 1000 mg alpha-tocopheryl acetate kg(-1) diet and 20% or 48% n-3 HUFA provided by normal fish oil or DHA concentrated fish oil, respectively, were fed to 100 g size fish for 15 weeks. Growth of fish fed vitamin E deficient diets under both levels of n-3 HUFA were slightly retarded, accompanied by a reduction of hematocrit values, an enlargement of liver and spleen, an elevation of lipid hydroperoxide in red blood cell and the antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase). Supplementation of vitamin E could protect the fish from these adverse effects; however the higher dose was no better compared to the moderate dose. The modulations were clearly seen in fish fed high n-3 HUFA (48%) since they were under greater oxidative stress as indicated by the markers, lipid hydroperoxide and 8-isoprostane. The increased activity of enzymes corresponds to physiological mechanisms combating the elevation of free radicals under oxidative stress and a dietary fatty acid profile-dependent moderate dose of vitamin E is all that is required to function as an effective antioxidant.  相似文献

The effects of dietary linoleic acid, gamma-linolenic acid and marine fatty acids on the development of aspirin-induced gastric hemorrhage and the distribution of liver glycerophospholipid fatty acids in fat-deficient growing rats were studied. Aspirin (100 mg/day)-treated and nontreated rats were fed for 7 days, a mixed diet of 2.5% safflower oil and 7.5% hydrogenated coconut oil (SFO/HCO) or 7.5% fish oil (SFO/FO), or 2.5% gamma-linolenate concentrate and 7.5% fish oil (GLA/FO). Gastric hemorrhage was induced in animals by aspirin treatment to various extents. It was not affected by FO feeding, but was significantly alleviated by GLA feeding. Aspirin treatment reduced the proportions of 20:4n-6 in liver phosphatidylcholine. FO feeding (in SFO/FO and GLA/FO rats) further reduced the 20:4n-6 level and replaced it by n-3 fatty acids. GLA feeding, on the other hand, elevated the proportion of 20:4n-6. As a result, the reduction of 20:4n-6 by fish oil feeding, was less significant in GLA/FO rats than in SFO/FO rats. The degree of gastric hemorrhage appeared to relate negatively to the levels of 20:4n-6 in liver phosphatidylcholine, and to the sum of 20:4n-6 and 20:5n-3 when FO was included in the diet. It is suggested that long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (20:4n-6 and 20:5n-3) per se in addition to being precursors of prostaglandins, may also affect the development of gastric hemorrhage, possibly by modulating the permeability of cell membranes in the gastric mucosa.  相似文献
