The aim of the present work was to determine whether t-10, c-12 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) feeding was able to reduce body fat accumulation and improve the serum lipid profile in adult hamsters fed an atherogenic diet, in order to compare these effects with those observed in young growing hamsters. Young and adult hamsters were fed semi-purified atherogenic diets supplemented with 0.5 % linoleic acid or 0.5% t-10, c-12 CLA for 6 weeks. Body weight and food intake were measured every two days. Adipose tissue from different anatomical locations, liver and gastrocnemious muscle were dissected and weighed. Cholesterol, triacylglycerols, non-esterified fatty acids and proteins were determined spectrophotometrically and water content by gravimetry. In young hamsters, no significant differences were found in food intake, final body weight and gastrocnemious muscle weight. White adipose tissue weights were reduced, liver weight was increased and cholesterol and triacyl-glycerols in both serum and liver were reduced. In adult hamsters, CLA feeding decreased food intake and adipose tissue weights. No changes were observed in other parameters. The present study demonstrates that age has an influence in hamster responsiveness to t-10, c-12 CLA because, although when this isomer is added to an atherogenic diet it reduces body fat accumulation in both young and adults hamsters, the lessening of the effects on serum lipids brought about by atherogenic feeding is only observed in young animals. Moreover, it is clear that liver is a target for CLA in young but not in adult hamsters. 相似文献

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a natural component of meat and dairy products with anticarcinogenic, fat lowering, antiatherogenic and anticatabolic activity in animals. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of CLA supplementation to humans on body fat, certain biochemical parameters of serum, and the CLA content of serum lipids. Twenty-two volunteers were divided into a study group and a control group in a doubly blind design. The study group received 0.7 g of CLA for four weeks and 1.4 g of CLA for the next four weeks, while the control group received placebo. Diet was controlled and no significant differences in energy or macronutrient intake were found between the two groups. Measurements were taken at baseline, four weeks, and eight weeks. The sum of the thickness of ten skinfolds, percentage body fat calculated from it and fat mass was significantly reduced in the CLA group during the second period (P < 0.004) but not overall during the study. Serum HDL-cholesterol decreased significantly (P < 0.001) and triacylglycerols as well as total cholesterol tended to decrease in the CLA group during the first period. The CLA content of serum non-esterified fatty acids, triacylglycerols, phospholipids, and cholesteryl esters increased gradually with supplementation; the CLA content of total serum lipids doubled at the end of the study compared to baseline. Phospholipids had the highest CLA content regardless of supplementation. These data indicate that supplementation with 0.7-1.4 g CLA daily for 4-8 weeks may modulate body fat and serum lipids, as well as increase the CLA content of serum lipids in humans. 相似文献

This experiment studied the effect of a modest difference in diet structure value (SV) on milk conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) contents of cows fed diets supplemented with extruded linseed, in situations where the diets provided enough SV and therefore did not induce milk fat depression. Six lactating Holstein cows were used in a crossover design with two treatments ('SV 1.50' and 'SV 1.73') and two periods of 21 days. The 'SV 1.50' diet contained 59% maize silage, 13% soya bean meal, 13% sugar beet pulp and 14% Nutex Compact (containing 56% extruded linseed) (dry matter (DM) basis) and was offered as a restricted total mixed ration. For the 'SV 1.73' diet, 8% wheat straw (DM basis) was added to the 'SV 1.50' diet as an additional structure source. The two diets had a forage-to-concentrate ratio of 59 : 41 and 62 : 38. The inclusion of straw in the diet resulted in an additional intake of NDF (+1110 g/day), which accounted for 90% of the additional intake of OM, whereas additional intakes of the other nutrients were minor. Milk yield and composition did not differ among treatments. The inclusion of straw in the diet did not affect the milk levels of t10-18:1, 18:2n-6, c9-16:1, c9-18:1, c11-18:1, 6:0, 8:0, 20:4 and 20:5. It decreased the milk levels of c9,t11-CLA (2.13% v. 3.03% of fatty acids (FA) reported, P < 0.001), t11-18:1 (4.99% v. 7.10% of FA reported, P < 0.001), 18:3n-3, t9-16:1 and t9-18:1, while it increased the milk levels of 6:0-14:0 (20.90% v. 19.69% of FA reported, P < 0.01), 16:0 (26.55% v. 25.25% of FA reported, P < 0.01), 18:0 (13.54% v. 12.59% of FA reported, P < 0.001), 17:0, 20:0 and 22:5. Regarding the ratio between FA, the inclusion of straw increased the 18:0/total C18 FA ratio (37.74% v. 32.07%, P < 0.001), whereas it decreased the total trans-C18 FA/total C18 FA ratio (15.46% v. 20.34%, P < 0.001), the t11-18:1/total C18 FA ratio (13.70% v. 17.95%, P < 0.01) and the c9,t11-CLA/total C18 FA ratio (5.82% v. 7.64%, P < 0.001). We conclude from this experiment that even a modest increase in SV to a diet supplemented with extruded linseed, yet already providing enough SV, alters the rumen lipid metabolism and, hence, CLA levels in milk fat. 相似文献

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has shown a number of health benefits, particularly on controlling body fat while improving lean mass. As one of CLA cognates, conjugated nonadecadienoic acid (CNA, 19-carbon conjugated fatty acid) has been previously reported to have greater efficacy on body fat control. In this report, we compared the efficacy of dietary CLA and CNA on body fat regulation and also compared the mechanism of body fat control using a mouse model. Effects of 0.1% dietary CNA on body fat reduction were comparable to that of 0.5% dietary CLA. The mechanisms of dietary CNA on body fat control were similar to those of CLA: increased energy expenditure and increased fatty acid β-oxidation. Dietary CNA, but not CLA, also improved expression of hormone-sensitive lipase from white adipose tissue, and this may help explain how CNA has better efficacy on body fat control than CLA. Dietary CNA had similar effects as CLA on liver weights; however, unlike CLA, CNA improved glucose tolerance. Thus, CNA has potential to be used as a pharmacological agent to assist current efforts to reduce obesity with less adverse effects than CLA. 相似文献

We investigated the dose-effect of the long-term intake of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the energy metabolism and fat accumulation in mice. Five-week-old male Std ddY mice were fed on a diet containing none (control), 0.25%, 0.5% or 1.0% CLA for 4 or 8 weeks. The body weight was lower in the CLA groups than in the control group, and significant differences were detected between the 1.0% CLA group and the control group at both 4 and 8 weeks. The epididymal and perirenal adipose tissue weights were significantly lower in the CLA groups than in the control group. The liver weight and hepatic triglyceride values were higher in the 1.0% CLA group than in the other groups. The metabolic rate was measured after 8 weeks by using a gas analyzer. The oxygen consumption of the mice in the CLA groups was significantly higher than that of the control mice. Since there was a significant effect on the mice supplemented with 0.25% CLA, low concentration of CLA is suggested to suppress the body fat accumulation and increase the energy metabolism. 相似文献

Numerous studies have demonstrated that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) modulates body composition, reducing body fat accumulation in various mammalian species. However, very few studies have been carried out to assess the effect of CLA on previously stored body fat. The aim of the present work was to analyse the effectiveness of trans-10,cis-12 CLA in improving alterations produced by high-fat feeding in body fat and serum parameters when it was included in an energy-restricted diet. For this purpose male Syrian Golden hamsters were fed on high-fat diet for 7 weeks in order to increase their body fat content, and a further 25% energy-restricted diet supplemented or not with 0.5% trans-10,cis-12 CLA for 3 weeks. Adipose tissues, liver and gastrocnemious muscles were dissected and weighed. Adipocyte diameter and number were assessed in epididymal adipose tissue. Total cholesterol, triacylglycerols, non-esterified fatty acids and glucose were measured in serum. Three weeks of energy restriction resulted in a reduction in body weight and white adipose tissue size in all anatomical locations, without changes in liver and gastrocnemious muscle weights. Epididymal adipocyte size was reduced, but total adipocyte number remained unchanged. Serum cholesterol, triacylglycerols and glucose were significantly reduced. No differences were observed between the restricted groups (control and CLA supplemented). In conclusion, under our experimental conditions, the addition of trans-10,cis-12 CLA to the diet does not increase the benefits produced by energy restriction. 相似文献

Recently resveratrol, a compound naturally occurring in various plants, has been proposed as a potential anti-obesity compound.
The aim of the present work was to analyse the effects of different doses of resveratrol on body fat and serum parameters
in rats. Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups and fed on a hypercaloric diet for 6 weeks.
The doses oftrans-resveratrol used were 6, 30 and 60 mg/kg body weight/d in RSV1, RSV2 and RSV3 groups respectively. The stability of resveratrol
when added to the diet was evaluated. Blood samples were collected, and white adipose tissue from different anatomical locations,
interscapular brown adipose tissue, gastrocnemious muscles and liver were weighed. Commercial kits were used to measure serum
cholesterol, glucose, triacylglycerols and non-esterified fatty acids. While the lowest dose did not have a body fat reducing
effect, the intermediate dose reduced all the white adipose depots. The highest dose significantly reduced mesenteric and
subcutaneous depots but not epididymal and perirenal tissues. Although the reduction in all the anatomical locations analysed
was 19% in the RSV3 group, in the RSV2 group it was 24%. No significant differences among the experimental groups were found
in brown adipose tissue, gastrocnemious muscle or liver weights. Serum parameters were not affected by resveratrol intake
because no differences among the experimental groups were observed. These results suggest that resveratrol is a molecule with
potential anti-obesity effect. The most effective of the three experimental doses was 30 mg/kg body weight/d. 相似文献

Veratric acid ameliorates hyperlipidemia and oxidative stress in Wistar rats fed an atherogenic diet
An investigation was made to reveal the protective effects of veratric acid (VA), a phenolic acid against atherogenic diet-induced hyperlipidemic rats. Male albino Wistar rats were fed with atherogenic diet (4% cholesterol, 1% cholic acid, and 0.5% 2-thiouracil) daily for 30 days and treated with VA (40 mg/kg body weight) daily for a period of 30 days. Rats fed with atherogenic diet showed significant (P < 0.05) elevation in the level of plasma lipids, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, oxidative stress markers (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, lipid peroxides) and significant (P < 0.05) reduction in the activities of enzymatic (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase) and non-enzymatic (vitamin C, vitamin E, and reduced glutathione) antioxidants in erythrocytes, plasma, and tissues (liver, kidney, and aorta). Oral administration of VA (40 mg/kg body weight) for 30 days to atherogenic diet fed rats markedly attenuates systolic, diastolic blood pressure and lipid peroxidation products. Further, VA treatment significantly improved enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants levels and showed beneficial effects on lipid profile in atherogenic diet rats. All the above alterations were supported by histopathological observations. These results indicate that oral administration of VA ameliorates atherogenic diet-induced hyperlipidemia in rats by its free radical scavenging; improving the antioxidants and lipid lowering properties. 相似文献

Selectively hydrogenated soybean oil with conjugated linoleic acid modifies body composition and plasma lipids in rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The present study examined effects of a selectively hydrogenated soybean oil (SHSO) containing about 21% CLA on body composition, adipose depots and organ weights, and plasma lipid profiles in rats. Male Sprague Dawley rats were fed for 6 weeks a purified diet containing 0%, 1%, 3%, and 5% of SHSO. Different levels of SHSO supplementation did not significantly affect growth performance, although there was a trend toward decreased body weight gain with increasing dietary SHSO levels. The weights of inguinal, epididymal, and retroperitoneal adipose depot, but not mesenteric, were significantly influenced by dietary SHSO supplementation (P < 0.05, P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively). Although the absolute weight of body protein in the control rats was higher in SHSO-fed rats, the effect on absolute weight of body protein is diluted and eliminated when the data are adjusted for eviscerated carcass weight as a percentage base. Therefore, as dietary SHSO level increased, body protein as a percentage of carcass weight increased (P < 0.05), although as dietary SHSO level increased, body fat proportion in carcass decreased (P < 0.01). Plasma triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) concentrations were beneficially decreased, and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) to TC ratio was also beneficially increased by SHSO supplementation (P < 0.05, P < 0.001, and P < 0.01, respectively). However, plasma HDL-C concentration undesirably decreased with dietary SHSO supplementation (P < 0.05). The present study observed that body composition and plasma lipids were beneficially modulated by SHSO supplementation at least 3% levels (0.6% of CLA), and suggested that SHSO is a useful fat source because of the high level of CLA. 相似文献

Fetuin-A is synthesized in the liver and is secreted into the bloodstream. Clinical studies suggest involvement of fetuin-A in metabolic disorders such as visceral obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and fatty liver. Curcumin is extracted from the rhizome Curcuma longa and has been shown to possess potent antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and hypoglycemic properties. In this study, we investigated the effect of curcumin treatment on serum fetuin-A levels as well as hepatic lipids and prooxidant–antioxidant status in rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Male Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into six groups. Group 1 was fed control diet (10 % of total calories from fat). Groups 2 and 3 were given curcumin (100 and 400 mg/kg bw/day, respectively ) by gavage for 8 weeks and were fed control diet. Group 4 was fed with HFD (60 % of total calories from fat). Groups 5 and 6 received HFD together with the two doses of curcumin, respectively. Curcumin treatment appeared to be effective in reducing liver triglycerides and serum fetuin-A levels. These findings suggest that the reduction of fetuin-A may contribute to the beneficial effects of curcumin in the pathogenesis of obesity. 相似文献

能量代谢的适应性调节是小型哺乳动物应对环境季节性变化的主要策略之一。为探讨不同温度下动物在代谢产热能量支出与脂肪累积之间的权衡策略,以成年雄性黑线仓鼠为研究对象开展了3 个实验:实验1 将动物驯化于高脂和低脂食物;实验2 将动物暴露于低温(5℃)和暖温(30℃);实验3 将饲喂高脂食物的动物暴露于低温。以食物平衡法测定摄食量、摄入能和消化率,以开放式氧气分析仪测定代谢产热,以索氏抽提法测定脂肪含量。结果发现,取食高脂食物的黑线仓鼠摄食量显著减少,但脂肪累积显著增加;暖温下摄食量显著减少,但体脂含量显著增加,低温下摄食量显著升高,但体脂含量显著减少;饲喂高脂食物的黑线仓鼠在低温下摄入能显著增加,非颤抖性产热增强,但体脂含量显著降低。结果表明高脂食物对黑线仓鼠体脂累积的影响与环境温度有关,低温诱导脂肪动员,暖温促进脂肪贮存;低温下黑线仓鼠增加能量摄入不能完全补偿用于产热的能量支出,导致脂肪动员增加;暖温下代谢产热降低是脂肪累积的主要因素;与能量摄入相比代谢产热的能量支出在体脂累积的适应性变化中发挥更重要的作用。 相似文献

HEAT TREATMENT OF VEGETABLE OILS GAVE RISE TO FOUR MAIN CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID (CLA) ISOMERS : the 9c,11t, 9t,11t, 10t,12c and 10t,12t. The diet of male Wistar rats was supplemented with 150 mg/day either 9c,11t-, 9t,11t-, 10t,12c- or 10t,12t CLA isomers for 6 days and their effects on lipid composition were investigated in liver, heart, skeletal muscle Gastrocnemius, kidneys, brain and adipose tissue. The incorporation of all isomers was low (< 1.4%) and the level was as follows : adipose tissue > Gastrocnemius > liver, kidneys > brain. The main changes in the overall lipid composition were observed in skeletal muscle (Gastrocnemius) and in heart and were associated with feeding the 10t,12c and 10t,12t isomers. The diet enriched in 10t,12t CLA decreased the total long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid proportion in Gastrocnemius (from 18.4% to 14.4%) and increased that of 20:4 n-6 in heart (from 16.9 to 19.3%). The diet enriched in 10t,12c CLA decreased the monounsaturated fatty acid proportion in Gastrocnemius (from 32.0 to 26.1%) and produced an effect similar to the 10t,12t in heart. By contrast, the 9c,11t and 9t,11t isomers did not affect fatty acid composition in all tissues and organs. We concluded that ingestion of 10t,12c and 10t,12t CLA present in oils and in CLA mixtures could change muscle lipid composition. 相似文献

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring group of dienoic derivaties of linoleic acid found mainly in beef and dairy products. CLA has been reported to reduce body fat, as well as to possess anticarcinogenic, antiatherogenic and procatabolic activities in animals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of CLA supplementation to spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) on body fat, biochemical parameters of serum related tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and resistin secretion. Thirty rats were divided in three groups, the first group of spontaneously hypertensive rats received a standard diet (V-SHR group, n=10), a second group of SHR was fed 1.5% of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA-SHR group, n=10) and the third was the control, non-hypertensive group (KW, n=10) also on a standard diet including 7.5% of sunflower oil during eight weeks.After CLA diet administration, spontaneously hypertensive rats showed a significant reduction in blood pressure, serum glucose, cholesterol and triacylglycerols, together with reduction of index of body fat, pericardic, abdominal and epididymal adipose tissue. These effects were accompanied by a decrease in the secretion of TNF-α and resistin. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) or betaine on the growth performance, carcass characteristics and fatty acid composition in backfat and belly fat of pigs fed distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Thirty-two (60±2 kg) crossbred barrows (Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshine) were assigned to one of four diets randomly: (1) the control diet containing no corn DDGS (control group); (2) the diet containing 30% corn DDGS (DDGS-fed group); (3) the diet containing 30% corn DDGS and 10 g/kg CLA (CLA-fed group); (4) the diet containing 30% corn DDGS and 1 g/kg BET (BET-fed group). The pigs fed DDGS showed that the percentages of C18:2, polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and iodine value (IV) increased, while C18:1, saturated fatty acid (SFA) and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) decreased. Pigs fed the DDGS+CLA or DDGS+betaine diets showed the increased percentage of SFA, and the decreased percentage of C18:2, PUFA and IV. In conclusion, results confirmed that the diets containing 30% DDGS had no detrimental effects on growth performance, but increased the percentage of PUFA and IV and decreased the percentage of SFA and MUFA in the backfat and belly fat. However, supplementation with CLA or BET can part reverse these effects on carcass fat in finishing pigs. 相似文献

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) induces a body fat loss that is enhanced in mice fed coconut oil (CO), which lacks essential fatty acids (EFA). Our objective was to determine if CO enhancement of CLA-induced body fat loss is due to the lack of EFA. The CLA-EFA interaction was tested by feeding CO and fat free (FF) diets for varying times with and without replenishment of individual EFA. Mice fed CO during only the 2-week CLA-feeding period did not differ from control mice in their adipose EFA content but still tended (P=0.06) to be leaner than mice fed soy oil (SO). Mice raised on CO or FF diets and fed CLA were leaner than the SO+CLA-fed mice (P<0.01). Mice raised on CO and then replenished with linoleic, linolenic, or arachidonic acid were leaner when fed CLA than mice raised on SO (P<0.001). Body fat of CO+CLA-fed mice was not affected by EFA addition. In summary, CO-fed mice not lacking in tissue EFA responded more to CLA than SO-fed mice. Also, EFA addition to CO diets did not alter the enhanced response to CLA. Therefore, the increased response to CLA in mice raised on CO or FF diets appears to be independent of a dietary EFA deficiency. 相似文献

We hypothesized that reducing weight properties of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) are due to adipocyte apoptosis and that CLA differentially modulates the apoptotic responses in hepatic lipotoxicity from rats fed saturated fat diets. Obese Zucker rats were fed atherogenic diets (2% w/w of cholesterol) formulated with high (15% w/w) saturated fat, from vegetable or animal origin, supplemented or not with 1% of a mixture (1:1) of cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12 CLA isomers for 14 weeks. CLA induced no changes on retroperitoneal fat depot weight, which was in line with similar levels of apoptosis. Interestingly, CLA had a contrasting effect on cell death in the liver according to the dietary fat. CLA increased hepatocyte apoptosis, associated with upregulation of Fas protein in rats fed palm oil, compared to rats receiving palm oil alone. However, rats fed ovine fat alone displayed the highest levels of hepatic cell death, which were decreased in rats fed ovine fat plus CLA. This reducing effect of CLA was related to positively restoring endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ATF-6α, BiP and CHOP protein levels and increasing phosphorylated c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and c-Jun, thus suggesting an adaptive response of cell survival. These findings reinforce the role of CLA as regulator of apoptosis in the liver. Moreover, the dietary fat composition is a key factor in activation of apoptosis. 相似文献
