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

The comparative effects of feeding diets containing corn, olive, coconut, or menhaden fish oil on efficiency of energy deposition and on short term energy expenditure were examined in growing hamsters. Diets comprising oils mixed with laboratory diets at 10% oil w/w were fed ad libitum for 3 weeks. Animals fed laboratory diets were used as controls. Body composition was determined before and after the feeding period using 3H2O distribution space. Oxygen consumption was measured in each animal during the final week. Weight gains of groups fed corn and olive oil diets exceeded those of the group fed laboratory diet alone (p less than 0.05), although metabolizable energy intakes were similar across groups. Corn oil fed animals demonstrated higher carcass energy gains as fat compared with laboratory diet fed or menhaden oil fed groups. This was reflected in an increased fractional deposition of metabolizable energy intake in the group fed corn oil diet compared with the latter two groups. Fecal energy losses were lower in the group fed corn oil diet, and higher in the group fed laboratory diet alone, compared with other groups. Oxygen consumption did not differ between groups. These findings indicate that feeding dietary fish oil, compared with corn oil, favours energy substrate oxidation reducing the fraction of metabolizable energy partitioned for storage.  相似文献

In sedentary elderly people, a reduced muscle fatty acid oxidative capacity (MFOC) may explain a decrease in whole body fat oxidation. Eleven sedentary and seven regularly exercising subjects (65.6 +/- 4. 5 yr) were characterized for their aerobic fitness [maximal O(2) uptake (VO(2 max))/kg fat free mass (FFM)] and their habitual daily physical activity level [free-living daily energy expenditure divided by sleeping metabolic rate (DEE(FLC)/SMR)]. MFOC was determined by incubating homogenates of vastus lateralis muscle with [1-(14)C]palmitate. Whole body fat oxidation was measured by indirect calorimetry over 24 h. MFOC was 40.4 +/- 14.7 and 44.3 +/- 16.3 nmol palmitate. g wet tissue(-1). min(-1) in the sedentary and regularly exercising individuals, respectively (P = nonsignificant). MFOC was positively correlated with DEE(FLC)/SMR (r = 0.58, P < 0. 05) but not with VO(2 max)/kg FFM (r = 0.35, P = nonsignificant). MFOC was the main determinant of fat oxidation during all time periods including physical activity. Indeed, MFOC explained 19.7 and 30.5% of the variance in fat oxidation during walking and during the alert period, respectively (P < 0.05). Furthermore, MFOC explained 23.0% of the variance in fat oxidation over 24 h (P < 0.05). It was concluded that, in elderly people, MFOC may be influenced more by overall daily physical activity than by regular exercising. MFOC is a major determinant of whole body fat oxidation during physical activities and, consequently, over 24 h.  相似文献

1. Rat erythrocytes were fractionated into young, mature and old cell fractions by centrifugation. The fatty acid composition of each fraction was determined by gas-liquid chromatography, under four different dietary conditions: with adequate linoleic acid in the diet, with a diet deficient in linoleic acid, and with the deficient diet supplemented with corn oil for 3 and 12 days. 2. Significant differences were observed in the fatty acid composition of cells of different ages on all diets. The pattern of fatty acid distribution depended on the particular acid in question, on its concentration in the total erythrocyte sample and on the nature of the dietary fat. 3. When corn oil was fed to rats that had been fed previously on a deficient diet, the changes in fatty acid composition that occurred depended on the acid and on the cell age. For example, young cells were more active in incorporating palmitic acid and arachidonic acid but incorporated linoleic acid at a slightly lower rate than older cells. 4. These results are believed to indicate the presence in the erythrocyte of transacylases with different specificities, and to show that transacylase activity changes as the cells age.  相似文献

The effects of different types of dietary fat on the activities of hepatic enzymes related to fatty acid synthesis [glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC)], oxidation [acyl-CoA synthetase (AST), carnitine palmitoyl transferase (CPT), and peroxisomal beta-oxidation (PbetaOX)], and lipogenesis [phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP), diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT), and phosphocholine diacylglycerol transferase (PCDGT)], and plasma and liver lipid levels were investigated in male Wistar rats. The animals were 6 weeks old and about 120 g of body weight, and were fed on test diets containing 20% of a mixture of tripalmitin, tristearin and corn oil (SFA), olive oil (OLI), sunflower oil (SUN), linseed oil (LIS), and sardine oil (SAR) for 2 weeks. The concentrations of plasma total cholesterol (T-CHOL), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-CHOL), triacylglycerol (TG) and phospholipid (PL) were generally higher in the rats fed on SFA and OLI than in those given SUN, LIS and SAR. The rats fed on OLI had a higher level of liver T-CHOL than those fed on the other fats. The liver TG content was nearly higher from the intake of SFA and OLI than from SUN, LIS and SAR, although the liver PL level was not affected by the type of dietary fat. The SFA and OLI groups had the highest activities of hepatic G6PDH and ACC, and the SAR group, the lowest activities. The activities of AST and CPT, and peroxisomal PbetaOX in the liver were higher in the rats fed on the LIS and SAR diets than in those given the other diets. The hepatic PAP activity was higher from the intake of OLI and SUN, and tended to be higher from SFA than from LIS and SAR. The activity of liver DGAT was higher from SFA and inclined to be higher from OLI, SUN, and LIS than from SAR, while the PCDGT activity in the liver was not effected by the type of dietary fat. The concentrations of plasma and liver TG were generally positively correlated with the activities of liver enzymes related to the synthesis of fatty acids and lipids, and negatively with those involved in fatty acid oxidation. Based on these results, it is suggested that the levels of plasma and liver TG were controlled by different types of dietary fat through changes in the hepatic enzyme activities related to fatty acid synthesis, lipogenesis, and fatty acid oxidation.  相似文献

The activities of key glutamine and urea cycle enzymes were assayed in liver homogenates from control and chronically acidotic rats and compared with citrulline and urea productions by isolated mitochondria and intact liver slices, respectively. Glutamine-dependent urea and citrulline synthesis were increased significantly in isolated mitochondria and in liver slices; the activities of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase and arginase were unchanged and increased, respectively. Glutamine was not a precursor in the carbamoyl phosphate synthetase system, suggesting that the glutamine effect is an indirect one and that glutamine requires prior hydrolysis. Increased mitochondrial citrulline synthesis was associated with enhanced oxygen consumption, suggesting glutamine acts both as a nitrogen and fuel source. Hepatic phosphate-dependent glutaminase was elevated by chronic acidosis. The results indicate that the acidosis-induced reduction in ureagenesis and reversal from glutamine uptake to release observed in vivo are not reflections of corresponding changes in the hepatic enzyme content. Rather, when available, glutamine readily supports ureagenesis, suggesting a close coupling of hepatic glutaminase flux with citrulline synthesis.  相似文献

In the present study, we changed the fatty acid profile in blood and platelet membranes by dietary manipulation, and examined the effect on platelet aggregation in rats. Fifty-five rats were divided into five groups and fed for 56 days with 1% cholesterol and different types of fatty acid-rich diets: basal, lard, lard + fish oil, soybean oil, and soybean oil + fish oil. a decrease in serum arachidonic acid (20:4, omega-6, AA) and an increase in serum eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5, omega-3, EPA) were found in all experimental dietary groups fed with refined fish oil. Similar changes in the polyunsaturated fatty acids were also found in the platelet membrane phospholipids. Platelet aggregation, quantitated by the slope and height of the aggregation curve induced by different concentrations of ADP in a platelet aggregometer, was inhibited in all groups fed with refined fish oil. This inhibition of platelet aggregation may be related to an increase in the ratio of EPA and AA in the platelet membrane phospholipids after dietary manipulation. The differences in the platelet aggregation and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) concentration between the lard and the lard + fish oil groups were more profound than that between the soybean oil and the soybean oil + fish oil group. However, the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration revealed no significant differences between the five groups.  相似文献

To investigate whether dietary fatty acid (FA) composition and energy restriction (ER) interactively influence obese (ob) gene expression, rats consumed diets containing beef tallow, safflower, or fish oil ad libitum (AL) or at 60% AL intake. Circulating leptin concentrations were higher (P < 0.0001) after AL feeding, but were not influenced by dietary fat. ER decreased (P < 0.0001) weight gain and visceral adipose weight, which were positively correlated (r = 0.40 P < 0.001, r = 0.58 P < 0.0001) with circulating leptin levels. Visceral adipose ob mRNA levels were greater in animals fed unsaturated fats, particularly safflower oil, which had the highest ob mRNA levels. Circulating leptin levels did not parallel ob mRNA levels, except for the greater abundance detected in AL adipose in comparison to ER animals. In addition, visceral FA profiles reflected dietary fat source and were influenced by an interaction of dietary fat and energy. These data demonstrate that dietary fat, particularly from a plant or marine source, and ER interactively influence ob mRNA levels; however, alterations in ob mRNA do not confer changes in circulating leptin, with the exception of ER, which is a key determinant. Thus, dietary intake is an important regulator of leptin production; however, the significance of these modest changes in diet-induced obese animals requires further study.  相似文献

Putrescine (1,4-diaminobutane) is the simplest of the mammalian polyamines. These are small, positively charged molecules which are essential for cell growth and are thought to play a role in regulation of anabolic events such as synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein. Recent reports have indicated the potential for dietary precursor amino acids of putrescine to alter tissue putrescine concentrations. The current study was conducted to determine the physiologic significance of these effects by feeding up to flooding doses of putrescine to determine any influence on whole body growth and polyamine metabolism. A total of 96 chicks were fed purified crystalline amino acid diets containing 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, or 1.0% purified putrescine (four birds per pen, four pens per diet) for 14 days. The feeding of 0.2% putrescine increased growth rate beyond that of controls while further supplements reduced growth and were toxic when 0.8 and 1.0% putrescine were fed. Hepatic and muscle concentrations of ornithine increased with dietary putrescine while the effect in kidney was much less. Putrescine concentrations in liver, kidney, and muscle rose when 0.4% putrescine or more was fed. This effect was particularly obvious in muscle in which there were also increases in the concentrations of spermidine and spermine. In a subsequent similar experiment, putrescine was fed at 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, or 0.5% to determine the effect on the activities of the key enzymes regulating polyamine synthesis. The feeding of putrescine at even 0.1% caused a rapid reduction in hepatic ornithine decarboxylase activity while S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase and arginase activities were not influenced by diet. It was concluded that excess tissue putrescine can be toxic to whole organisms but small, orally administered doses of this metabolite can promote growth.  相似文献

The effects of low extracellular pH and intracellular accumulation of weak organic acids were compared with respect to fatty acid synthesis by whole cells of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium smegmatis. The profile of fatty acids synthesized during exposure to benzoic, nicotinic, or pyrazinoic acids, as well as that observed during intracellular hydrolysis of the corresponding amides, was not a direct consequence of modulation of fatty acid synthesis by these compounds but reflected the response to inorganic acid stress. Analysis of fatty acid synthesis in crude mycobacterial cell extracts demonstrated that pyrazinoic acid failed to directly modulate the fatty acid synthase activity catalyzed by fatty acid synthase I (FAS-I). However, fatty acid synthesis was irreversibly inhibited by 5-chloro-pyrazinamide in a time-dependent fashion. Moreover, we demonstrate that pyrazinoic acid does not inhibit purified mycobacterial FAS-I, suggesting that this enzyme is not the immediate target of pyrazinamide.  相似文献
