不同膳食脂肪酸对大鼠乳腺癌组织脂肪酸组成和脂代谢基因表达的影响

目的探讨不同膳食脂肪酸组成影响大鼠乳腺癌发生、发展的可能分子机制。方法用8种不同膳食脂肪酸组成(SFA、MUFA、n-6PUFA、n-3PUFA、1∶1n-6/n-3、5∶1n-6/n-3、10∶1n-6/n-3、1∶2∶1S/M/P其中n-6/n-31∶1)喂养SD雌性大鼠,并在大鼠乳腺癌模型的基础上,用气相色谱内标法观察大鼠乳腺组织脂肪酸组成改变,RT-PCR分析组织脂代谢调控基因(FAS、COX-2和5-LOX)的表达。结果在不同膳食脂肪酸构成中,只有1∶1n-6/n-3能有效抑制大鼠乳腺癌的发生。不同膳食脂肪酸构成可导致大鼠乳腺组织脂肪酸组成发生相应变化,且各组间的脂肪酸含量有显著差异。高乳腺癌诱发的SFA、MUFA、n-6PUFA、5∶1n-6/n-3、10∶1n-6/n-3和1∶2∶1S/M/P喂养组乳腺组织含有较多的C18∶1、C18∶2和C20∶4,而EPA和DHA含量极少。无或低乳腺癌诱发的n-3PUFA和1∶1n-6/n-3喂养组乳腺组织EPA和DHA明显增多,C20∶4含量显著减少。RT-PCR结果显示1∶1n-6/n-3低诱癌组较相应对喂组上调FAS、COX-2和5-LOXmRNA表达力度明显弱于其它高乳腺癌诱发组。结论不同膳食脂肪酸组成能明显改变大鼠乳腺组织脂肪酸组成,进而影响脂代谢基因FAS、COX-2和5-LOX表达,可能是大鼠乳腺癌发生的分子机制之一。     

不同膳食脂肪酸构成影响MNU诱导大鼠乳腺肿瘤发生的研究

目的:探讨膳食多不饱和脂肪酸n-6/n-3比值对小鼠T淋巴细胞功能和脂质过氧化的影响。方法:96只BALb/c小鼠随机分为8组:饱和脂肪酸:单不饱和脂肪酸:多不饱和脂肪酸(S∶M∶P)为1:1.5:3.7和1:1.5:1,n-6/n-3比值分别为1、7.5、15、30,各4组。基础饲料采用AIN-93G配方,各组饲料的脂肪酸构成以食用油脂调配。饲养12w。测定小鼠T淋巴细胞功能,IL-2和血清丙二醛(MDA)水平。结果:S:M:P为1:1.5∶3.7,n-6/n-3为1时,小鼠T淋巴细胞增殖活性、IL-2水平均显著降低(P<0.05),且两者显著正相关(r=0.438,P<0.05),n-6/n-3为1、30时,血清MDA水平明显高于n-6/n-3为7.5和15组(P<0.05);S:M:P为1:1.5:1,n-6/n-3为1时,小鼠T淋巴细胞增殖活性、CD4+/CD8+T细胞比例、IL-2水平明显降低(P<0.05),n-6/n-3为1、30时,血清MDA水平明显高于n-6/n-3为7.5组(P<0.05)。结论:S:M:P为1:1.5:3.7和1:1.5:1,n-6/n-3为1时,T淋巴细胞功能受到抑制,其作用机制可能与IL-2有关;DHA对CD4+/CD8+T细胞比例的抑制作用可能大于ALA;结合脂质过氧化程度来考虑,膳食n-6/n-3为7.5～15范围内较为理想。     

Maternal Supplementation with Cow’s Milk Naturally Enriched with PUFA Alters the Metabolism of Sows and the Fatty Acid Profile of the Offspring

The study aimed to evaluate the supplementation of gilts with cow’s milk naturally enriched with n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on reproductive outcomes, and the serum biochemical and FA profile of swine females and their offspring. During 316 days, 30 gilts were distributed into three groups: (1) Control, fed a basal diet + milk from cows without oil; (2) n-3, fed a basal diet + milk from cows fed a diet enriched with linseed oil; (3) n-6, fed a basal diet + milk from cows fed a diet enriched with soybean oil. The gilts receiving the diets containing PUFA had higher serum urea and very-low-density lipoprotein levels and lower serum total protein and low-density lipoprotein levels compared to the Control group. Females supplemented with n-3 presented higher serum palmitic acid and γ-linolenic acid levels than those fed n-6. Piglets from the Control group were heavier at birth than those from females supplemented with enriched milk. The piglets from females receiving enriched milk had 140 g higher body weight from 1 to 21 days old compared to the Control group, and greater average daily weight gain from 7 to 14 days old. The serum eicosapentaenoic acid level of piglets fed n-3 was 69% higher than those fed n-6, which reduced the AA/EPA ratio. Gilts supplemented with PUFA-enriched cow’s milk showed changes in their serum palmitic and γ-linolenic acid levels, in addition to improved performance, EPA concentration and consequently reduced AA/EPA ratio in their piglets, demonstrating beneficial results for their progeny.     

Food use and health effects of soybean and sunflower oils.

This review provides a scientific assessment of current knowledge of health effects of soybean oil (SBO) and sunflower oil (SFO). SBO and SFO both contain high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (60.8 and 69%, respectively), with a PUFA:saturated fat ratio of 4.0 for SBO and 6.4 for SFO. SFO contains 69% C18:2n-6 and less than 0.1% C18:3n-3, while SBO contains 54% C18:2n-6 and 7.2% C18:3n-3. Thus, SFO and SBO each provide adequate amounts of C18:2n-6, but of the two, SBO provides C18:3n-3 with a C18:2n-6:C18:3n-3 ratio of 7.1. Epidemiological evidence has suggested an inverse relationship between the consumption of diets high in vegetable fat and blood pressure, although clinical findings have been inconclusive. Recent dietary guidelines suggest the desirability of decreasing consumption of total and saturated fat and cholesterol, an objective that can be achieved by substituting such oils as SFO and SBO for animal fats. Such changes have consistently resulted in decreased total and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, which is thought to be favorable with respect to decreasing risk of cardiovascular disease. Also, decreases in high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol have raised some concern. Use of vegetable oils such as SFO and SBO increases C18:2n-6, decreases C20:4n-6, and slightly elevated C20:5n-3 and C22:6n-3 in platelets, changes that slightly inhibit platelet generation of thromboxane and ex vivo aggregation. Whether chronic use of these oils will effectively block thrombosis at sites of vascular injury, inhibit pathologic platelet vascular interactions associated with atherosclerosis, or reduce the incidence of acute vascular occlusion in the coronary or cerebral circulation is uncertain. Linoleic acid is needed for normal immune response, and essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency impairs B and T cell-mediated responses. SBO and SFO can provide adequate linoleic acid for maintenance of the immune response. Excess linoleic acid has supported tumor growth in animals, an effect not verified by data from diverse human studies of risk, incidence, or progression of cancers of the breast and colon. Areas yet to be investigated include the differential effects of n-6- and n-3-containing oil on tumor development in humans and whether shorter-chain n-3 PUFA of plant origin such as found in SBO will modulate these actions of linoleic acid, as has been shown for the longer-chain n-3 PUFA of marine oils.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

Perturbation of phospholipid and triacylglycerol fatty acid positional location in the heart of rats depleted of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturates

Rats depleted of long-chain polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids (n-3–D) display several features of the metabolic syndrome, including obesity, liver steatosis, insulin resistance, hypertension, and cardiac hypertrophy. In this study, the heart phospholipid (PL) and triacylglycerol (TG) fatty acid content and pattern were compared between female control rats (C) and n-3–D rats. The sole n-3 fatty acids found in n-3–D rats, C22:5(n-3) and C22:6(n-3), were 10 to 20 times lower than in C. The total fatty acid content of PL was lower in n-3–D rats than C. No ectopic TG accumulation was found in n-3–D rats. In both PL and TG, the C16:0/C16:1(n-7) and C18:0/C18:1(n-9) ratios suggested increased Δ9-desaturase activity in n-3–D rats. The PL C18:2(n-6)/C20:4(n-6) and C20:4(n-6)/C22:4(n-6) ratios were also lower in n-3–D rats than C. Prior intravenous injection of a medium-chain TG:fish oil emulsion to n-3–D rats 60 to 120 minutes before killing augmented the PL content in C22:5(n-3) and C22:6(n-3), minimized the age-related decrease in the PL C18:1(n-9) relative content, and increased the TG C22:4(n-6) content. The alteration of cardiac function in n-3–D rats and its improvement after injection of medium-chain TG:fish oil emulsion coincides with parallel changes in heart lipid fatty acid content and pattern.     

不同脂肪酸构成比对小鼠血脂影响的实验研究

目的:以小鼠饲料正常脂肪摄入量7.84%为基础,比较不同脂肪酸构成比对小鼠血脂水平的影响。方法:以小鼠正常饲料脂肪及脂肪酸构成为对照,分别设S/M/P比值为1∶1.7∶1.2和1∶1∶1的饲料,其中n-6/n-3比值在1～10∶1各设计4组,共10组, 喂小鼠10 w,测定血脂水平。结果: S/M/P为1∶1.7∶1.2, n-6/n-3在1～5∶1时TC和TC/HDL-C水平显著低于8∶1和10∶1组(P<0.05); S/M/P为1∶1∶1,n-6/n-3为1∶1时的TC和LDL-C水平显著低于其余各比值组(P<0.05);当n-6/n-3为10∶1时,S/M/P为1∶1.7∶1.2的TC、LDL-C、HDL-C以及TC/HDL-C和LDL-C/HDL-C水平均显著低于1∶1∶2组(P<0.05),S/M/P为1∶1∶2的LDL-C和TC/HDL-C水平显著低于1∶1∶1组(P<0.05)。结论: S/M/P现状1∶1.7∶1.2时,n-6/n-3在1～5∶1可维持血脂在较低水平;如脂肪酸构成比为1∶1∶1时,维持较低血脂所需的n-6/n-3为1∶1;在现状膳食n-6/n-3为10∶1时,S/M/P在1∶1.7∶1.2有利于维持低血脂。     

The Pattern of Fatty Acids Displaced by EPA and DHA Following 12 Months Supplementation Varies between Blood Cell and Plasma Fractions

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are increased in plasma lipids and blood cell membranes in response to supplementation. Whilst arachidonic acid (AA) is correspondingly decreased, the effect on other fatty acids (FA) is less well described and there may be site-specific differences. In response to 12 months EPA + DHA supplementation in doses equivalent to 0–4 portions of oily fish/week (1 portion: 3.27 g EPA+DHA) multinomial regression analysis was used to identify important FA changes for plasma phosphatidylcholine (PC), cholesteryl ester (CE) and triglyceride (TAG) and for blood mononuclear cells (MNC), red blood cells (RBC) and platelets (PLAT). Dose-dependent increases in EPA + DHA were matched by decreases in several n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in PC, CE, RBC and PLAT, but were predominantly compensated for by oleic acid in TAG. Changes were observed for all FA classes in MNC. Consequently the n-6:n-3 PUFA ratio was reduced in a dose-dependent manner in all pools after 12 months (37%–64% of placebo in the four portions group). We conclude that the profile of the FA decreased in exchange for the increase in EPA + DHA following supplementation differs by FA pool with implications for understanding the impact of n-3 PUFA on blood lipid and blood cell biology.     

Black soybean extract reduces fatty acid contents in subcutaneous,but not in visceral adipose triglyceride in high-fat fed rats

Abstract

It is known that black soybean (BS) extract, rich in polyphenols, has beneficial effects against obesity, inflammation and insulin resistance. However, detailed effects of BS on lipid metabolism have not been documented well. In the present study, we compared fatty acid composition in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues of high-fat fed (HFF) rats and BS administered HFF rats. Black soybean administration for 6 weeks influenced neither body nor adipose tissue weights, blood glucose, plasma insulin levels, or insulin sensitivity. However, BS reduced several saturated (C14:0 and C16:0), monounsaturated (C14:1n-5 and C18:1n-9) and n-6 polyunsaturated (C18:2n-6, C20:3n-6, C20:4n-6 and C22:4n-6) fatty acid contents in subcutaneous fat without any change in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid contents. No such effect was observed in fatty acid composition in visceral fat. Long-chain fatty acids are involved in regulation of inflammation. Therefore, those reduced fatty acids may be linked to the effects on suppressing inflammation.     

多不饱和脂肪酸配比对溃疡性结肠炎大鼠影响

目的 探讨不同配比多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)对葡聚糖硫酸钠(DSS)诱导大鼠溃疡性结肠炎作用。方法 40只雄性SD大鼠随机分为对照组、DSS模型组及3个PUFA组(n-6/n-3为1∶1、5∶1、10∶1组);用DSS建立大鼠溃疡性结肠炎模型,对照组和DSS模型组喂饲基础饲料,3个PUFA组分别给予不同比例PUFA饲料;观察大鼠粪便性状、腹泻及血便等一般状况;取结肠标本评价结肠湿重指数,生化法检测血清髓过氧化物酶(MPO)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性和丙二醛(MDA)含量,ELISA法测定血清白介素-1β、6、10(IL-1β、IL-6、IL-10)含量。结果与DSS模型组比较,5∶1 PUFA组结肠湿重指数[(79.90±13.84)mg/cm]和MDA含量[(3.52±0.65)nmol/mL]均降低(P<0.05),血清SOD活性[(245.69±26.96)U/mL]升高(P<0.01);与1∶1、10∶1 PUFA组比较,5∶1 PUFA组IL-1β和IL-6含量[(668.89±101.71)和(7.01±4.21)pg/mL]均降低(P<0.01),IL-10含量[(10.95±7.97)pg/mL]升高(P<0.05)。结论 膳食中n-6/n-3为5∶1时对大鼠溃疡性结肠炎有明显保护作用,其机制可能与抗氧化和抗炎作用有关。     

膳食n-6/n-3脂肪酸比值对小鼠淋巴细胞脂肪酸构成和功能的影响

目的观察膳食n6n3脂肪酸比值对淋巴细胞脂肪酸构成及细胞功能的影响。方法BALBc小鼠随机分为5组n6n3比值分别为1(A组)、75(B组)、15(C组)、30(D组)和正常对照组,其中实验组S∶M∶P模拟中国居民膳食脂肪酸摄入的S∶M∶P为1∶15∶1,正常对照组为AIN93G配方的1∶15∶37。基础饲料采用AIN93G配方,脂肪酸构成以食用油脂调配。饲养12周。测定小鼠T淋巴细胞功能,脾淋巴细胞脂肪酸构成、PGE2水平。结果n6n3比值接近1时,小鼠T淋巴细胞增殖活性、CD4+、CD8+T细胞比例、培养上清IL2、PGE2水平显著降低;淋巴细胞C18∶2、C20∶4、n6PUFA含量显著减少;C22∶6、C16∶1、C18∶1、总MUFA含量明显高于其他实验组。淋巴细胞C22∶6含量与淋巴细胞增殖活性显著负相关;C20∶5含量与CD4+T淋巴细胞比例、IL2水平显著负相关;C16∶1含量与CD4+、CD8+T淋巴细胞比例显著负相关。结论小鼠脾淋巴细胞的脂肪酸构成受膳食脂肪酸构成的影响;n6n3比值为1组与比值为30的膳食组相比较,小鼠T淋巴细胞增殖活性受到抑制。     

Diets with corn oil and/or low protein increase acute acetaminophen hepatotoxicity compared to diets with beef tallow in a rat model

It has been reported that dietary polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) increase liver injury in response to ethanol feeding. We tested the hypothesis that diets rich in linoleic acid (18:2n-6) would affect acute liver injury after acetaminophen injection and that protein restriction might exacerbate the liver injury. We examined effects of feeding diets with either 15% (wt/wt) corn oil or 14% beef tallow and 1% corn oil for six weeks with either 6 or 20 g/100 g protein on acute hepatotoxicity. After the feeding period, liver injury was induced by injecting either with 600 mg/kg body weight acetaminophen suspended in gum arabic-based vehicle, or with vehicle alone during fasting status. Samples of liver and plasma were taken for analyses of hepatic glutathione (GSH) levels and liver-specific enzymes [(Glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT)], respectively. Whereas GSH level was significantly lower in only group fed 15% corn oil with 6 g/100 g protein among acetaminophen-treated groups, activities of GPT and GOT were significantly elevated in all groups except the one fed beef tallow with 20 g/100 g protein, suggesting low protein might exacerbate drug-induced hepatotoxicity. The feeding regimens changed the ratio of 18:2n-6 to oleic acid (18:1n-9) in total liver lipids approximately five-fold, and produced modest changes in arachidonic acid (20:4n-6). We conclude that diets with high 18:2n-6 promote acetaminophen-induced liver injury compared to diets with more saturated fatty acids (SFA). In addition, protein restriction appeared to exacerbate the liver injury.     

Nutritional Importance of Selected Fresh Fishes,Shrimps and Mollusks to Meet Compliance with Nutritional Guidelines of n-3 LC-PUFA Intake in Spain

Fishery products are the main source of dietary n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA). Following the European Commission’s request to address the risks and benefits of seafood consumption, and taking into account the great variability of nutrient and contaminant levels in fishery products, the present work aims to estimate the n-3 LC-PUFA provided per serving of selected fishes, shrimps and mollusks that are commonly consumed in Spain. This would enable the establishment of a risk–benefit analysis of fish consumption and provide recommendations for fish intake to comply with nutritional guidelines of n-3 LC-PUFA intake. We confirmed high variation in the pattern and contents of fatty acids for different species. n-6 PUFA were minor fatty acids, whereas palmitic (C16:0), oleic (C18:1 n-9), and mainly eicosapentaenoic (C20:5 n-3) and docosahexaenoic (C22:6 n-3) acids were the major fatty acids in the sample. Therefore, consumption of 2–3 servings per week of a variety of fishery products may contribute to compliance with the recommended daily n-3 LC-PUFA intake while maintaining an adequate balance to avoid contaminant-derived potential risks (metals and others). Taking the fatty acid content of fishery products described in this study into consideration, it is advisable to include one serving of fatty fish per week in order to meet recommended n-3 LC-PUFA levels.     

脂肪酸对机体免疫细胞的影响

脂肪酸通过改变免疫细胞膜的组成，细胞内信使传递和细胞因子来调节免疫细胞的功能。n－6系多不饱和脂肪酸具有免疫抑制作用，n－3系多不饱和脂肪酸可以部分抵销这种免疫抑制作用。     

鱼油对小鼠脑磷脂中脂肪酸组成的影响

昆明种小鼠随机分成两组，对照组和鱼油组，按小鼠处死时间，对照组分三个亚组，鱼油组分四个亚组。取小鼠脑组织，采用气相色谱法测其脑磷脂中脂肪酸组成，考察鱼油中ｎ一３系多不饱和脂肪酸对小鼠大脑的影响，结果表明：鱼油可使小鼠脑重增加（Ｐ＜０．０５），使脑磷脂中饱和脂肪酸，单不饱和脂肪酸和ｎ一６系多不饱和脂肪酸水平降低，使ｎ一３系多不饱和脂肪酸水平上升（Ｐ＜０．０５）。停用鱼油两周后，其脑磷脂中脂肪酸水平与对照组的水平接近，即鱼油对脑磷脂中脂肪酸组成的影响作用逐渐减弱。由此推论，在人脑早期形成发育过程中，适时、适量、持续补充人体必需ｎ一３系多不饱和脂肪酸是必要的。     

Increasing trends in dietary total fat and fatty acid intake among Korean children: using the 2007–2017 national data

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESThe prevalence of obesity has been increasing in Korean children. As an unhealthy diet is known as one of the major determinants of childhood obesity, assessing and monitoring dietary fat intake of children is needed.SUBJECTS/METHODSThis analysis included 9,998 children aged 3–11 yrs from the 2007–2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Dietary data were obtained from a single 24-h dietary recall. Intakes of total fat and fatty acids, including saturated fatty acid (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), n-3 fatty acid (n-3 FA), and n-6 fatty acid (n-6 FA) were evaluated as the absolute amount (g) and proportion of energy from each fatty acid (% of energy). The total fat and SFA intake were also assessed according to compliance with dietary guidelines. Linear trends in the dietary fats intake across the survey period were tested using multiple regression models.RESULTSTotal fat intake significantly increased from 38.5 g (20.3% of energy) to 43.4 g (23.3% of energy) from 2007 to 2017. This increase was mainly accounted for the increases in intakes of SFA (7.2% to 8.4% of energy) and MUFA (6.2% to 7.5% of energy). PUFA intake increased from 4.4 to 4.7% of energy during the 11-yrs period: from 0.57 to 0.63% of energy for n-3 FA and from 3.8 to 4.1% of energy for n-6 FA. The proportions of children who consumed amounts exceeding the dietary guidelines for total fat and SFA significantly increased from 2007 to 2017, with increases from 9.8% to 17.4% for total fat and from 36.9% to 50.9% for SFA.CONCLUSIONSProminent increasing trends in the consumption of total fat and SFA but tiny change in n-3 FA intake were observed in Korean children. The healthy intake of dietary fats should be emphasized in this population.     

Seasonal Variations in Fatty Acid Composition and the N-6/N-3 Fatty Acid Ratio of Pikeperch (Sander LUCIOPERCA) Muscle Lipids

Total lipid, fatty acid composition and the N-6/N-3 fatty acid ratios of muscle of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) was determined once every two months. The ratio of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) was higher than half of the total fatty acid content, and the monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) was higher than the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio. The n-3 fatty acids were present in excess of the n-6 fatty acids. Eicosapentaenoic (EPA), docosahexaenoic (DHA), and arachidonic (AA) acids were the most abundant PUFA. The fatty acid composition and n-6/n-3 fatty acids ratio in the muscle of pikeperch are significantly influenced by spawning and the season. Relative proportions of PUFA (especially n-3 fatty acids) diminished significantly with the maturation of gonads. The ratio of n-6/n-3 fatty acids was less than one except during the reproduction period. This result suggests that meat quality of pikeperch is very good except during the spawning period with respect to the n-6/n-3 fatty acids ratio.
