Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids modulate resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in guinea pigs
McFarland CT Fan YY Chapkin RS Weeks BR McMurray DN 《The Journal of nutrition》2008,138(11):2123-2128
It is well established that the nutritional status of the host affects resistance to disease. The impact of dietary lipids on experimental pulmonary infection with mycobacteria has not been investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the role of dietary (n-3) and (n-6) fatty acids on immunity and resistance to aerosol infection with virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis in guinea pigs. Weanling guinea pigs were fed purified, isocaloric diets differing only in lipid source, and the effects of diet on specific immune cell functions were evaluated after 3 or 6 wk. Dietary (n-3) fatty acid consumption reduced in vivo skin test and in vitro lympho-proliferative responses (P < 0.05) relative to (n-6) fatty acid consumption. The effect of diet on resistance to mycobacterial infection was assessed by enumerating viable mycobacteria in the lungs and spleens of guinea pigs infected with virulent M. tuberculosis by the aerosol route. (n-3) Fatty acid-fed guinea pigs had more bacteria in the lungs compared with (n-6) fatty acid-fed guinea pigs at 3 (P < 0.05) and 6 wk postinfection (P < 0.01). These data document the immunomodulatory effects of (n-3) fatty acid consumption in the context of tuberculosis resistance. The loss of antigen-specific T-cell functions in addition to impaired resistance to mycobacterial disease suggests a susceptible phenotype in (n-3) fatty acid-fed guinea pigs. 相似文献

We previously reported that in a mouse model, a diet high in (n-3) PUFA diminishes host survival following an infection from Listeria monocytogenes, a gram-positive bacterial pathogen. In this study we investigated the impact of (n-3) PUFA on the adaptive immune response to L. monocytogenes. BALB/c mice were fed experimental diets either devoid of or rich in (n-3) PUFA from fish oil for 4 wk and then infected with 10(6) actA-deficient L. monocytogenes. At 7 and 35 d postchallenge, effector and memory/effector T cells in the spleen were enumerated by flow cytometry. Surprisingly, the number of Listeria-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) effector and memory/effector T cells in the spleen was not affected by (n-3) PUFA. Also, the effector cells derived from mice fed either diet were equally capable of conferring protective immunity upon adoptive transfer to naive recipients. Despite our previous data, which demonstrated that (n-3) PUFA profoundly impaired host resistance to L. monocytogenes, pathogen-specific T cell responses were not substantially affected by dietary (n-3) PUFA. 相似文献

In vitro evidence indicates that (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) suppress T-cell activation in part by displacing proteins from lipid rafts, specialized regions within the plasma membrane that play an important role in T-cell signal transduction. However, the ability of (n-3) PUFA to influence membrane microdomains in vivo has not been examined to date. Therefore, we compared the effect of dietary (n-3) PUFA on raft (liquid ordered) vs. soluble (liquid disordered) microdomain phospholipid composition in mouse T cells. Mice were fed diets containing either 5 g/100 g corn oil (control) or 4 g/100 g fish oil [contains (n-3) PUFA] + 1 g/100 g corn oil for 14 d. Splenic T-cell lipid rafts were isolated by density gradient centrifugation. Raft sphingomyelin content (mol/100 mol) was decreased (P < 0.05) in T cells isolated from (n-3) PUFA-fed mice. Dietary (n-3) PUFA were selectively incorporated into T-cell raft and soluble membrane phospholipids. Phosphatidylserine and glycerophosphoethanolamine, which are highly localized to the inner cytoplasmic leaflet, were enriched to a greater extent with unsaturated fatty acids compared with sphingomyelin, phosphatidylinositol and glycerophosphocholine. These data indicate for the first time that dietary (n-3) PUFA differentially modulate T-cell raft and soluble membrane phospholipid and fatty acyl composition. 相似文献

The early biochemical responses to concanavalin A (Con A) of thymocytes from rats fed a saturated (coconut oil), (n-6) (sunflower oil) or (n-3) (fish oil) fatty acid-enriched diet for 3 wk were investigated. Fish oil feeding resulted in greater (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid level (PUFA) at the expense of (n-6) PUFA in total and individual thymocyte phospholipids. Such alterations of the fatty acid composition did not affect basal ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) or gamma-glutamyl transferase activities. However, the fish oil-enriched diet impaired some of the early thymocyte responses to Con A, such as the rapid induction (30 min) of soluble ODC and PDE activities. Synthesis of [3H]20:4(n-6) oxygenated metabolites was not different between the dietary groups; however, the uptake of [3H]20:4(n-6) into phospholipid classes was significantly lower in phosphatidylcholine and greater in phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol after fish oil feeding. Similarly, the Con A-induced remodeling of the [3H]20:4(n-6) esterification in phospholipids differed in sunflower oil- vs. fish oil-fed rats, suggesting a modulation of acyl CoA synthase and/or acyl CoA transferase activities. Thus, the modulation of Con A-induced ODC and PDE stimulation upon in vivo changes of membrane phospholipid fatty acid composition is not related to eicosanoid formation, but rather to the modification of the fatty acid acylation processes, altering phospholipid composition and signal transduction. 相似文献

Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids in asthma- and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Despite progress that has been made in the treatment of asthma, the prevalence and burden of this disease has continued to increase. While pharmacological treatment of asthma is usually highly effective, medications may have significant side effects or exhibit tachyphylaxis. Alternative therapies for treatment that reduce the dose requirements of pharmacological interventions would be beneficial, and could potentially reduce the public health burden of this disease. Ecological and temporal data suggest that dietary factors may have a role in recent increases in the prevalence of asthma. A possible contributing factor to the increased incidence of asthma in Western societies may be the consumption of a proinflammatory diet. In the typical Western diet, 20- to 25-fold more omega (n)-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) than n-3 PUFA are consumed, which promotes the release of proinflammatory arachidonic acid metabolites (leukotrienes and prostanoids). This review will analyze the evidence for the health effects of n-3 PUFA in asthma- and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). While clinical data evaluating the effect of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in asthma has been equivocal, it has recently been shown that fish oil supplementation, rich in n-3 PUFA, reduces airway narrowing, medication use, and proinflammatory mediator generation in nonatopic elite athletes with EIB. These findings are provocative and suggest that dietary fish oil supplementation may be a viable treatment modality and/or adjunct therapy in asthma and EIB. 相似文献

Diets containing different ratios of n-3:n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, were fed to piglets for a period of 10 days. Diets with n-3:n-6 ratios of 0.2 and 0.3 decreased the group mean activity of plasma butyrylcholinesterase when compared with a diet with a ratio of 0.1. 相似文献

Antigen-driven murine CD4+ T lymphocyte proliferation and interleukin-2 production are diminished by dietary (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
This study is the first to describe the impact of consuming a diet rich in (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from fish oil on antigen-driven activation of naive CD4+ T lymphocytes. To accomplish this, we used lymphocytes isolated from T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mice (i.e., DO11.10). A large portion of the T lymphocytes from these mice expresses a TCR specific for a peptide within the ovalbumin (OVA) molecule (OVA(323-339)). When this antigen is presented in the context of major histocompatibility complex I-A(d) with costimulation, these naive CD4+ T cells become activated, produce interleukin (IL)-2 and clonally expand. (n-3) PUFA enrichment was accomplished by feeding DO11.10 mice one of two nutritionally complete experimental diets that differed only in the source of fat: lard or menhaden fish oil [high in (n-3) PUFA]. After 2 wk of consuming the experimental diets, lymphocytes were isolated from the spleen of each mouse, then cultured in the presence of antigen (i.e., OVA(323-339)) or concanavalin A (Con A), a nonspecific, polyclonal T cell stimulus. IL-2 production and lymphocyte proliferation were determined after 48 and 72 h, respectively. Naive CD4+ T lymphocytes from fish oil-fed mice stimulated with antigen produced less IL-2 ( approximately 33%; P < 0.001) and proliferated to a lesser extent ( approximately 50%; P < 0.0001) than the same cells from lard-fed DO11.10 mice. When stimulated with Con A, (n-3) PUFA did not affect either proliferation or IL-2 production. In summary, we report for the first time that feeding mice a diet enriched with (n-3) PUFA reduces in vitro antigen-stimulated production of IL-2 and subsequent proliferation of naive CD4+ T lymphocytes. 相似文献

Recent studies suggest that the biological effects of saturated fatty acids depend on the length of their chain. We compared the effect of diets containing different fatty acids on plasma lipids and lymphocyte proliferation in the presence of lovastatin and with increasing amounts of LDL. Lymphocytes from rats fed with a diet rich in palmitic acid had a greater lymphocyte proliferation capacity than those from rats fed with diets rich in oleic acid, linoleic acid, or fish oil. This effect was maintained when small amounts of polyunsaturatwed fatty acids (PUFA; sunflower oil) were added to the palmitic acid diet. LDL receptor activity, measured by the capacity of lovastatin to revert the inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation with increasing amounts of LDL in the medium, was greater in the rats fed with palmitic acid, and was similar to the other groups when small amounts of PUFA were added. All the groups had similar levels of plasma cholesterol, but the LDL levels were significantly lower in the group fed with palmitic acid plus PUFA. The highest HDL-cholesterol (HDLc) levels were found in the palmitic acid group and the lowest LDL-cholesterol (LDLc)/HDLc ratio in the palmitic acid plus PUFA group. These results suggest that diets rich in palmitic acid do not raise total cholesterol, but reduce LDLc or keep it normal, and raise HDLc levels. This effect may be partly due to an increase in LDL receptor activity. The inclusion of small amounts of PUFA in the diet rich in palmitic acid substantially modified the LDL receptor response in the lymphocytes, suggesting that the proportion of different families of dietary fatty acids may be more important than the individual amount of each in absolute terms to explain their effects on plasma lipids and lipoproteins. 相似文献

Two experiments were carried out to determine whether ozone causes significant oxidation of pulmonary polyunsaturated fatty acids in vivo. These involved ad libitum and pair-feeding. In the first experiment, rats were fed fat-free diets and exposed to ozone for 0, 1, 2, and 4 weeks. Lung and liver fatty acids were analyzed to determine if the rats exposed to ozone lost essential fatty acids more rapidly than those exposed to filtered air. In the second experiment, rats were divided into four groups. Two of these groups were fed fat-free diets, and two were fed diets containing essential fatty acids. Rats from the two diet groups (one of each type) were exposed to ozone, while the remaining two groups were exposed to filtered air. In the second experiment, rats were pair-fed. The amounts of lung and liver fatty acids were relatively uninfluenced by breathing ozone. Results from these experiments demonstrate that in the lung, the polyunsaturated fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, appear to be oxidized by filtered air and ozone at essentially the same rate. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The effects of different dietary oils on the development of colitis-associated colon cancer have not been studied. The present study examined the effect of different dietary oils on the severity of chronic colitis, development of colitis-associated premalignant changes, and colonic expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in interleukin-10 knockout (IL-10-/-) mice. METHODS: IL-10-/- mice were fed chow supplemented with corn oil (CO; control, n=28), olive oil (OO; n=29), or fish oil (FO; n=35) for 12 wk and their colons were studied for colitis score, premalignant changes, and COX-2 expression. RESULTS: The average colitis score was higher in the FO than in the CO group. Similarly, the incidence of severe colitis (score>or=3) was significantly higher in the FO than in the CO and OO groups (50% versus 7.7% and 3.7%, respectively, P<0.05). Dysplasia was more frequent in the FO and less frequent in the OO than in the CO group (47% and 4% versus 15%, respectively, P<0.05). Conversely, aberrant crypt foci and crypt index were significantly higher in the FO than in the CO group. Colitis score, aberrant crypt foci, and crypt index did not differ between the OO and CO groups. COX-2 immunostaining was significantly lower in the OO than in CO group (P<0.05) but not different between the FO and CO groups. CONCLUSIONS: In IL-10-/- mice, fish oil exacerbates chronic colitis and colitis-associated premalignant changes. Conversely, olive oil inhibits COX-2 immunostaining and decreases the risk of neoplasia associated with chronic colitis. 相似文献

Dietary fatty acid modulation of murine T-cell responses in vivo 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of dietary fat concentration and saturation on T-cell functions in vivo were investigated by using delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) and graft-versus-host (GVH) reactions. These were selected because they circumvent the problem of fatty acid flux from the lymphocyte during in vitro assays. The DTH reaction to allogeneic line B16-BL6 melanoma cells was suppressed in BALB/c mice fed a diet containing 20% saturated fat (coconut oil) or polyunsaturated fat (safflower oil) compared to control mice fed a diet with the minimum of essential fatty acids (EFA). Likewise, DTH responsiveness of mice fed an EFA-deficient diet was less than that of mice fed the EFA control diet. The GVH reaction of C57BL/6 spleen cells injected into irradiated BALB/c mice was suppressed in those fed 20% polyunsaturated fat. Serum levels of linoleic acid increased commensurate with the levels of polyunsaturated fat in the diet. Likewise, previous work has demonstrated that levels of linoleic acid in whole lymphocytes changed in direct relation to the levels of fatty acids in serum and the diet. Thus, T-cell functions in vivo may be differentially affected by the degree of saturation or the concentration of dietary fat. Moreover, linoleic acid appears to play a pivotal role in modulating cellular immune responses. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effects of a diet containing EPAX-7010, rich in PUFAs such as eicosapentaenoic acid [20:5(n-3)] and docosahexaenoic acid [22:6(n-3)], i.e., a PUFA/EPAX regimen, on T-cell activation in diabetic pregnant rats and their obese pups. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Mild hyperglycemia in pregnant rats was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin on Day 5 of gestation. T-cell blastogenesis was assayed by using (3)H-thymidine, whereas intracellular free calcium concentrations ([Ca(2+)]i) were measured by using Fura-2 in diabetic pregnant rats and their obese offspring. RESULTS: Concavalin-A-stimulated T-cell proliferation was decreased in both pregnant diabetic rats and their obese pups as compared with control animals. Feeding the PUFA/EPAX diet restored T-cell proliferation in both groups of animals. We also employed ionomycin, which at 50 nM opens calcium channels, and thapsigargin (TG), which recruits [Ca(2+)]i from endoplasmic reticulum pool. We observed that ionomycin-induced increases in [Ca(2+)]i in T-cells of diabetic mothers and obese offspring were greater than in those of control rats. Furthermore, feeding PUFA/EPAX diet diminished significantly the ionomycin-evoked rise in [Ca(2+)]i in diabetic and obese animals. TG-induced increases in [Ca(2+)]i in T-cells of diabetic pregnant rats and their obese offspring were greater than in those of control rats. The feeding of the experimental diet significantly curtailed the TG-evoked increases in [Ca(2+)]i in both diabetic and obese rats. DISCUSSION: Together, these observations provide evidence that T-cell activation and T-cell calcium signaling are altered during gestational diabetes and macrosomia. Hence, dietary fish oils, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, may restore these T-cell abnormalities. 相似文献

AbstractObjectiveThe objective of the present study was to assess whether the administration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) would lead to alterations in cocaine-conditioned place preference by correlating behavioral data and plasma levels of PUFAs.MethodsFive groups of C57Bl/6J mice received a linseed oil supplement or a control solution for 19 days and were conditioned to cocaine.ResultsPUFAs did not exert a protective effect against cocaine-conditioned place-preference behavior, although there were significant differences in the levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and linoleic acid among the groups tested. Higher doses of PUFAs might be necessary to induce a change in the plasma level of EPA in cocaine-conditioned mice.DiscussionPUFAs had no effect on cocaine-conditioned place preference. 相似文献

Dietary fatty acids and cholesterol differentially modulate HDL cholesterol metabolism in Golden-Syrian hamsters 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Dietary fatty acids alter HDL cholesterol concentrations, presumably through mechanisms related to reverse cholesterol transport. The effect of dietary fats (coconut oil, butter, traditional stick margarine, soybean oil, canola oil) differing in fatty acid profile on this antiatherogenic process was assessed with respect to plasma lipids; exogenous and endogenous lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) activities; and LCAT, apolipoprotein (apo) A-I and scavenger receptor B class-1 (SR-B1) mRNA abundance. Golden-Syrian hamsters were fed a nonpurified (6.25 g/100 g fat) diet containing an additional 10 g/100 g experimental fat and 0.1 g/100 g cholesterol for 6 wk. Canola and soybean oils significantly lowered serum HDL cholesterol concentrations relative to butter. Canola oil, relative to butter, resulted in higher exogenous LCAT activity, and both soybean and canola oils significantly increased hepatic apo A-I and SR-B1 mRNA abundance. Butter, relative to margarine, coconut and soybean oils, significantly increased serum non-HDL cholesterol concentrations. Endogenous and exogenous LCAT, CETP, and PLTP activities did not differ in hamsters fed margarine or saturated fat diets, despite lower hepatic LCAT, apo A-I, and SR-B1 mRNA abundance, suggesting that changes in available substrate and/or modification to the LCAT protein may have been involved in lipoprotein changes. These results suggest that lower HDL cholesterol concentrations, as a result of canola and soybean oil feeding, may not be detrimental due to increases in components involved in the reverse cholesterol transport process in these hamsters and may retard the progression of atherosclerosis. 相似文献

Synthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in preterm newborns fed formula with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

BACKGROUND: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPs) that play pivotal roles in growth and neurodevelopment. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to quantify the synthesis of LCPs in preterm infants fed infant formula containing LCPs. DESIGN: Twenty-two preterm infants were randomly assigned to either the no-LCP group (fed formula without LCPs; n = 11) or the LCP group (fed formula with LCPs; n = 11). Dietary LCPs had higher (13)C content than did the endogenously synthesized LCPs, which were derived from linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids. The (13)C content of major selected plasma fatty acids was measured by using gas chromatography-isotope ratio mass spectrometry at birth and at age 1, 3, and 7 mo. Absolute LCP synthesis and the percentage of LCP synthesis relative to dietary intake were calculated. RESULTS: Percentage AA synthesis was 67.2 +/- 7.8%, 35.9 +/- 9.8%, and 29.0 +/- 10.3%, and that of DHA was 41.7 +/- 14.9%, 10.5 +/- 8.1%, and 7.4 +/- 6.2% at 1, 3, and 7 mo old, respectively. Absolute AA synthesis was 26.7 +/- 4.2, 14.4 +/- 3.9, and 11.6 +/- 4.1 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) and that of DHA was 12.6 +/- 4.5, 3.2 +/- 2.5, and 2.3 +/- 1.9 mg x kg(-1) . d(-1) at 1, 3, and 7 mo old, respectively. AA and DHA synthesis decreased significantly (P < 0.01) with time, and AA synthesis was significantly (P < 0.01) greater than DHA synthesis. CONCLUSIONS: By this novel approach, we measured endogenous LCP synthesis in infants receiving dietary LCPs over long periods. By age 7 mo, LCP synthesis was dramatically lower in preterm infants fed LCPs. 相似文献

Diabetic nephropathy is associated with lipid deposits in the kidney. We hypothesized that a diet containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) could ameliorate pathogenesis of diabetic kidney diseases associated with lipid depositions in the kidneys. We examined if the pathogenesis and progression of diabetic nephropathy are affected by the type of dietary fat using streptozotocin (45 mg/kg body weight, intravenous)-induced diabetic rats (5-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats). Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were fed a lard diet containing saturated fatty acids or a rapeseed oil diet containing PUFAs (DML and DMR, respectively) for 11 days. Similarly, streptozotocin-nontreated rats were fed a lard diet or a rapeseed oil diet (NL and NR, respectively) for 11 days. Hyperglycemia was induced in DML and DMR, compared with NL and NR groups. The levels of plasma ketone, total cholesterol, and triglyceride (TG) were significantly increased in the DML group. Moreover, albuminuria and renal TG content were enhanced in the DML group. The renal TG content correlated positively with urinary albumin excretion (P < .001). Oil-Red O staining of kidney sections indicated a marked accumulation of neutral lipids in both glomerular and tubular cells in the DML group. In addition, a renal sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 mature protein increment was induced in the DML group. Conversely, sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 expression in the kidney was maintained at normal levels in the DMR group. These results suggest that dietary PUFAs may slow the progression of diabetic nephropathy associated with lipid depositions in the kidney. 相似文献

Dietary long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids from different sources affect fat and fatty acid excretions in rats. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Several sources of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCP) have been evaluated for infant-formula supplementation. These sources differ in their chemical structure [triglyceride (TG) or phospholipid (PL)], arrangement of fatty acids on the TG or PL backbone, fatty acid composition and presence of other lipid components. All of these characteristics influence fat digestion, may affect fat and fatty acid absorption, and hence, LCP bioavailability and metabolism in infancy. The main objective of this work was to establish the influence of different dietary LCP sources on overall fat and LCP absorption in early life. We compared fat and fatty acid excretions at weaning in rats fed control diets or diets supplemented with LCP as TG or PL. Two separate experiments were conducted. In Experiment 1, weanling rats were fed for 3 wk a control diet (C1), a diet with TG from tuna and fungal oils (TF-TG) or a diet with PL from pig brain concentrate (PB-PL). In Experiment 2, weanling rats were fed for 3 wk a control diet (C2), a diet containing egg-TG (EG-TG) or a diet containing egg-PL (EG-PL). Fat, mineral and saturated fatty acid excretions in feces were higher in rats fed PB-PL compared with those fed TF-TG diet. In Experiment 2, groups did not differ in fat and mineral excretions. However, the EG-PL group had lower fecal excretions of saturated fatty acids than the C2 and EG-TG groups. The 16:1(n-7), 18:1(n-9), 18:2(n-6) and 22:6(n-3) levels in feces were higher in the EG-TG group than in the EG-PL group. In summary, total fat and LCP excretions differed among rats fed diets supplemented with LCP from different sources. 相似文献

Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids: modification of rat cardiac lipids and fatty acid composition 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effects of 5, 10 and 20% dietary menhaden oil (MO) on the composition of heart lipid classes and fatty acids were studied. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed ad libitum 0, 5, 10 and 20% MO for 3 wk. The heart phosphoglyceride content and composition and cholesterol were unchanged by dietary MO. A nonlinear dose-response relationship was observed between dietary MO levels and fatty acid compositional changes. Cardiolipin, choline (PC), ethanolamine (PE) and serine/inositol (PS/PI) phosphoglycerides showed an incorporation of n-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic (20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic (22:6n-3), between the control and 5% MO group, a plateau between the 5 and 10% MO groups and a further increase at the 20% MO level. The initial reduction in 20:4n-6 content remained unchanged as dietary MO increased except in PE where a further reduction was found at the 20% MO level. Dietary MO did not significantly change the 20:4n-6 content in neutral lipids. Linoleic acid content was most resistant to dietary MO removal. The level of 18:2n-6 was significantly lowered in heart PC when rats were fed 10% MO. No significant differences were found in PS/PI. In PE and NL significant differences occurred only when rats were fed 20% MO. The significant fatty acid modifications of heart lipid and PL found between the control and lowest level of dietary MO (5%) suggest that dietary fish oil supplementation in human diets may not be required for this effect. 相似文献
