Pancreatic preservation is an important part of diabetes management that may occur with improved peripheral insulin sensitivity and attenuated low-grade adipose tissue inflammation. The objective of the current study was to determine the response of obese, insulin-resistant fa/fa Zucker rats vs lean controls to dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplementation with respect to pancreatic islet size, insulin resistance, and markers of inflammation and adipose glucose uptake. Six-week-old fa/fa and lean Zucker rats (n = 20 per genotype) were fed either a 1.5% CLA mixture or control diet for 8 weeks. Oral glucose tolerance testing was conducted at 7.5 weeks. Fasting serum haptoglobin, insulin, and C-peptide were assayed, and select messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein markers of inflammation and glucose metabolism were measured in adipose and liver tissues. CLA-fed fa/fa Zucker rats had smaller islet cell size, improved oral glucose tolerance and insulinemia, and attenuated serum haptoglobin levels compared with control-fed fa/fa Zucker rats, despite no differences in body weight and a slightly higher visceral adipose mass. CLA did not alter insulin sensitivity or islet size in lean Zucker rats. The CLA-fed fa/fa rats also had greater adipose glucose transporter-4 mRNA and less adipose tumor necrosis factor alpha mRNA and protein compared with control-fed fa/fa rats. In contrast, other markers of inflammation and glucose metabolism including adipose macrophage inflammatory factor, macrophage inflammatory protein-2, and liver pyruvate carboxylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 were not significantly changed. These results suggest that CLA supplementation preserved pancreatic function in conjunction with improved peripheral glucose use and reduced inflammation in fa/fa Zucker rats. 相似文献

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a class of positional, geometric, conjugated dienoic isomers of linoleic acid. Dietary CLA supplementation has resulted in a dramatic decrease in body fat mass in mice. However, some but not all studies in mice and humans have found that CLA promoted insulin resistance, and there were conflicting reports on the effects of CLA on peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR gamma) activation and expression. The objective of present study was to investigate the effect of CLA on insulin resistance and its molecular mechanisms. Fifty male Wistar rats were randomly designed to the control, high-fat and high-fat with CLA (0.75, 1.50, and 3.00 g in per 100 g diet) groups. The effect of CLA on insulin sensitivity and the mechanism of resisting diabetes by CLA were investigated by RT-PCR assay. The results showed that supplementation with CLA significantly reduced body weight gain and white fat pad weight in the rats, the levels of plasma free fatty acids (FFA), triglycerides (TGs), cholesterin (TC), leptin, insulin and blood glucose concentration in the obese rats of CLA group were also decreased compared to the rats in the high-fat group. Dietary CLA increased the mRNA expression of PPAR gamma, fatty acid binding proteins (aP2), fatty acid transporter protein (FATP), acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) and adiponectin in the adipose tissues of obese rats. The results suggest that CLA may ameliorate insulin resistance by activating PPAR gamma, and increasing the expression of PPAR gamma target genes such as ap2, FATP, FAT, and adiponectin in the white adipose tissue. 相似文献

The effects of a hyperlipidic diet containing medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCT) or long-chain triacylglycerols (LCT) and a control diet on the lipid composition of liver and adipose tissue in the Zucker fa/fa and Fa/- rat are compared. The weights of liver and adipose tissues of the rats fed the MCT diet are little different from those of the two other groups, but they are always higher in obese rats than in lean rats. After feeding the MCT diet, the amounts of the constituent octanoic and decanoic acids in liver and adipose tissues are higher in the fa/fa rat than in the Fa/- rat. The rate of lipogenesis in liver and adipose tissues of the obese rat fed the MCT diet remains high. 相似文献

Peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) represent a family of DNA binding proteins that are activated by a variety of dietary and endogenous fatty acids. The PPAR proteins are expressed throughout the body and are the target of a variety of lipidaemic and insulin sensitizing drugs. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a collective name for octadecadienoic acid isomers with conjugated double bonds, which can also act as ligands for some of the PPAR family. To gain better understanding of the long-term effects of PPAR activation, CLA was fed at 11 g/kg of feed for 45 days to castrated male pigs (barrows). These barrows had a significant repartitioning of subcutaneous fat to lean tissue in the carcass: fat was reduced by 9 x 2% and lean muscle was increased by 3 x 5%, but intramuscular fat content was also increased by 14% (P<0 x 05). PPARgamma, glutamine-fructose aminotransferase (GFAT), adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (AFABP), but not PPARalpha mRNA levels were significantly increased (P<0 x 05) in the CLA-fed pigs. The increased expression of PPARgamma and AFABP indicates that CLA induced the development of preadipocytes from stromal-vascular (s-v) stem cells to promote intramuscular fat content. The increase in the expression of GFAT mRNA indicates that the glucose supply of the muscle cells had been increased with the CLA diet, possibly sparing intramuscular fatty acid reserves. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Trans-fatty acids (TFAs) are formed during partial hydrogenation of vegetable oils and are shown to be more atherogenic than saturated fatty acids (SFAs). Our previous study showed that dietary TFAs decrease adipose tissue insulin sensitivity to a greater extent than SFAs in rats. We hypothesized that the effects of these fatty acids on insulin sensitivity could be mediated through an alteration in gene expression. In the current study we have investigated the effects of dietary TFAs or SFAs on expression of genes associated with insulin sensitivity in rat adipose tissue. DESIGN AND METHODS: Male weanling Wistar/NIN rats were divided into four groups and fed one of the following diets containing 10% fat (g/100 g diet) differing only in the fatty acid composition for 3 months: control diet (3.7% linoleic acid (LA)), SFA diet (5% SFA), TFA diet 1 (1.5% TFA + 1% LA) and TFA diet 2 (1.5% TFA + 2% LA). The mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4), resistin and adiponectin was analyzed in epididymal fat using RT-PCR. The effects of TFA were studied at two levels of LA to understand the beneficial effects of LA over the effects of TFA. RESULTS: Both dietary SFA and TFA upregulated the mRNA levels of resistin. Dietary SFA downregulated adiponectin and GLUT4 and upregulated LPL, while TFA downregulated PPARgamma and LPL. The effects of dietary TFA on PPARgamma and resistin were not counteracted by increased LA (TFA diet 2). CONCLUSION: The effects of SFAs on the aforementioned genes except PPARgamma could be extrapolated towards decreased insulin sensitivity, while only the alteration in the mRNA levels of PPARgamma and resistin could be associated with insulin resistance in TFA-fed rats. These findings suggest that dietary SFAs and TFAs alter the expression of different genes associated with insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue. 相似文献

Aims/hypothesis Dietary supplementation with conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) has a fat-reducing effect in various species, but induces severe hyperinsulinaemia and hepatic steatosis in the mouse. This study aimed to determine the causes of the deleterious effects of CLA on insulin homeostasis.Methods The chronology of adipose and liver weight, hepatic triglyceride accumulation and selected blood parameters, including lipids, insulin, leptin and adiponectin, was determined in C57BL/6J female mice fed a 1% isomeric mixture of CLA for various periods of time ranging from 2 to 28 days. Insulin secretion was measured in 1-h static incubations of pancreatic islets, and pancreas morphometric parameters were determined in mice fed CLA for 28 days.Results Plasma levels of leptin and adiponectin sharply decreased after 2 days of CLA feeding, although adipose tissue mass only decreased after day 6. Hyperinsulinaemia developed at day 6 and consistently worsened up to day 28, in parallel with increases in hepatic lipid content. Islets from CLA-fed mice displayed three- to four-fold increased rates of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, both in the absence and presence of isobutyl methylxanthine or carbachol. The increased insulin-releasing capacity of islets from CLA-fed mice was explained by an increase in beta cell mass and number.Conclusions/interpretation The data suggest that CLA supplementation induces a profound reduction of leptinaemia and adiponectinaemia, followed by hyperinsulinaemia due to the increased secretory capacity of pancreatic islets, leading, in turn, to liver steatosis. These observations cast doubt on the safety of dietary supplements containing CLA. 相似文献

Dietary supplementation with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to reduce body fat mass. To investigate the effects of individual CLA isomers on the fatty acid profiles of lipogenic (liver and white adipose) and lipid sensitive (erythrocyte) tissues, BALB/c mice were fed with 1 of 2 diets supplemented with either a c9,t11-CLA-enriched and t10,c12-CLA-free or a CLA-mixture containing both isomers in equal amounts (1% w/w of the diet) for 5 weeks. A control group was fed with a diet enriched in sunflower oil to energy balance the CLA. Compared to the t10,c12-CLA-free and the control diets, we observed a significant reduction of adipose tissue accompanied by fatty livers in the CLA-mix-fed group. These alterations in body fat distribution entailed a conspicuous shift of the fatty acid profiles of adipose tissue and livers. Liver enlargement was mainly caused by accumulation of C18 monoenes that accounted for 67 ± 1% of total fatty acid methyl esters. The significant reduction of the 18:0/18:1 desaturation index in the liver upon CLA-mix diet indicated high stearoyl-CoA desaturase activity. In contrast, reduction in white adipose tissue was largely driven by percental reduction of monounsaturated fatty acids (p ≤ 0.001). 16:0/ 16:1 and 18:0/18:1 desaturation indices for white adipose tissue significantly increased, suggesting an inhibition of stearoyl-CoA desaturase upon CLA-mix diet. The fatty acid profile of the erythrocytes widely reflected that of livers, depending on the supplemented diet. These profound changes in fatty acid composition of lipogenic organs due to t10,c12-CLA intake may be the consequence of functional alterations of lipid metabolism. 相似文献

Dietary trans-fatty acids alter adipocyte plasma membrane fatty acid composition and insulin sensitivity in rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary trans-fatty acids (TFA) present in Indian vanaspati (partially hydrogenated vegetable oils) in comparison with saturated fatty acids (SFA) on adipocyte plasma membrane fatty acid composition, fluidity, and insulin action. The effects of 3% energy (% en) TFA was studied at 2% and 4% en of linoleic acid (18:2 n-6). WNIN male weanling rats were divided into 4 groups and fed casein-based diet containing 10% groundnut oil control (CON), palmolein (SFA), blend of vanaspati and safflower oil (3% en TFA and 2% en 18:2 n-6, TFA-1), or blend of vanaspati and safflower oil (3% en TFA and 4% en 18:2 n-6, TFA-2) for 12 weeks. Compared with CON, rats fed TFA and SFA diets had high levels of fasting plasma insulin and triglycerides. Both TFA- and SFA-fed groups had low levels of arachidonic acid (20:4 n-6) in adipocyte plasma membrane phospholipids. However, adipocyte plasma membrane fluidity decreased only in TFA-fed rats. Norepinephrine-stimulated lipolysis was high, whereas the antilipolytic effect of insulin and insulin-stimulated glucose transport were low in the adipocytes of SFA- and TFA-fed rats. However, the extent of decrease in the antilipolytic effect of insulin and insulin-stimulated glucose transport was greater in TFA-fed rats. These findings suggest that diet providing approximately 10% en SFA (PUFA/SFA [P/S] ratio 0.2) decreased adipocyte insulin sensitivity in rats. In these diets, replacement of approximately 2% en SFA (16:0) and approximately 1% en monounsaturated fatty acid (18:1 cis) with TFA decreased adipocyte insulin sensitivity to a greater extent. However, increasing dietary 18:2 n-6 did not prevent or reduce the TFA-induced adipocyte insulin resistance. 相似文献

Expression of the adiponectin receptors AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 in lean rats and in obese Zucker rats 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The adiponectin receptors, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2, are thought to transmit the insulin-sensitizing effects of adiponectin, an adipokine secreted by adipocytes. Modifications of their expression in insulin-sensitive tissues (skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose tissue) could therefore play a role in the control of insulin sensitivity and the development of insulin resistance. Recent data in mice supported this possibility. We examined whether the expression of adiponectin receptors (messenger RNA [mRNA] concentrations) is controlled in vivo in rats (Wistar) by nutritional factors (high-fat [HF] vs high-carbohydrate diet, fasting vs fed state) and whether this expression is decreased in an experimental model of insulin resistance, the obese Zucker rat. In Wistar rats, neither an HF diet nor fasting modified the mRNA concentrations of AdipoR1 in muscle, liver, or adipose tissue; the only modification observed was a decrease (P < .05) in AdipoR2 mRNA level in the liver of rats fed with an HF diet. In obese Zucker rats compared with their lean controls, neither AdipoR1 nor AdipoR2 expression was modified in muscle. AdipoR2 expression was slightly decreased in adipose tissue, whereas the expression of both AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 was increased (P < .05) in the liver of obese Zucker rats. In conclusion, contrary to what was reported in mice, the expression of adiponectin receptors in rats is poorly responsive to changes in nutritional conditions and is not decreased in a model of insulin resistance. These results do not support an important role for the expression of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 in the modulation of sensitivity to insulin. 相似文献

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a unique lipid that elicits dramatic reductions in adiposity in several animal models when included at < or = 1% of the diet. Despite a flurry of investigations, the precise mechanisms by which conjugated linoleic acid elicits its dramatic effects in adipose tissue and liver are still largely unknown. In vivo and in vitro analyses of physiological modifications imparted by conjugated linoleic acid on protein and gene expression suggest that conjugated linoleic acid exerts its de-lipidating effects by modulating energy expenditure, apoptosis, fatty acid oxidation, lipolysis, stromal vascular cell differentiation and lipogenesis. The purpose of this review shall be to examine the recent advances and insights into conjugated linoleic acid's effects on obesity and lipid metabolism, specifically focused on changes in gene expression and physiology of liver and adipose tissue. 相似文献

In both humans and rodents the occurrence and severity of obesity-associated non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) may be influenced by both gonadal hormones and genetic background. Early gonadectomy (at 3-5 days of age) of female and male Wistar diabetic fatty (WDF) rats and of male Zucker rats allowed us to examine these effects in genetically obese rats carrying the fatty (fa) gene. Impairment of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity by obesity, and amelioration or exacerbation (in the case of female rats) of this impairment by gonadectomy were assessed by intragastric glucose tolerance tests when the rats reached adulthood. Both glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were significantly deranged in obese WDF rats of both sexes and in obese male Zucker rats compared to lean controls of the same sex and strain. Obese male WDF rats were less glucose tolerant and insulin sensitive than were obese male Zucker rats. Glucose intolerance was not ameliorated by castration in lean or obese male WDF or Zucker rats. Insulin sensitivity was significantly improved by castration in obese male rats of both strains, as fasting plasma insulin levels and total areas under the insulin curves were significantly reduced compared to obese sham-operated controls. This effect was greater in the Zucker than in the WDF male rats. Castration significantly decreased the insulin response areas in obese male Zucker rats, but did not alter those of the obese male WDF rats. Ovariectomy did not alter glucose homeostasis of obese female WDF rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Epididymal adipose tissue from non-fa/fa (lean) and fa/fa (obese) 14.5-week-old Zucker rats was used to study the influence of insulin and genotype on uptake of glucose and palmitate into adipocytes of different sizes. After incubation with radioactive substrate, adipocytes were inactivated and fixed by addition of osmium tetroxide; fixed adipocytes were isolated and separated by screening on the basis of size. Rates of substrate uptake into triacylglycerols were measured in adipocytes of each of ten size categories. Uptake rates of both glucose and palmitate increased as adipocyte size increased. Insulin had no effect on glucose uptake per adipocyte for fa/fa rats but had a highly significant (P less than 0.01) stimulatory effect on that for non-fa/fa rats. This stimulation became significantly greater with increasing adipocyte size. When insulin was included in the incubation media, glucose uptake rates were similar between similar sizes of adipocytes from non-fa/fa and fa/fa rats. Absence of insulin from the incubation media, however, resulted in lower rates of glucose uptake by adipocytes from non-fa/fa rats. Glucose uptake was maximal in adipocytes from fa/fa rats, even in the absence of insulin. Net uptake of palmitate into triacylglycerols was not influenced by insulin; a significant interaction was observed, however, between adipocyte size and genotype. Large adipocytes from fa/fa rats had greater rates of palmitate uptake than did adipocytes of similar size from non-fa/fa rats. The reverse was true for adipocytes less than 125 micron in diameter. The results of this study show that response to insulin of adipocytes of difference sizes varies with adipocyte size and with genotype. 相似文献

Vanadium, a potent nonselective inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases, has been shown to mimic many of the metabolic actions of insulin both in vivo and in vitro. The mechanism(s) of the effect of vanadium on the decrease in appetite and body weight in Zucker fa/fa rats, an insulin-resistant model, is still unclear. Because insulin may inhibit hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY), which is known to be related to appetite, and increase leptin secretion in adipose tissue, we studied the possibility that the changes in appetite produced by vanadium may be linked to altered NPY levels in the hypothalamus. We also examined effects of vanadium on leptin. Zucker lean and fatty rats were chronically treated with bis(maltolato)oxovanadium(IV) (BMOV), an organic vanadium compound, in the drinking water. Plasma and adipose tissue leptin levels were measured by radioimmunoassay and immunoblotting, respectively. Hypothalamic NPY mRNA and peptide levels were measured using in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry, respectively. BMOV treatment significantly reduced food intake, body fat, body weight, plasma insulin levels, and glucose levels in fatty Zucker rats. Fifteen minutes after insulin injection (5 U/kg, intravenous [IV]), circulating leptin levels (+100%) and adipose leptin levels (+60%) were elevated in BMOV-treated fatty rats, although these effects were not observed in untreated fatty rats. NPY mRNA levels in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) (-29%), NPY peptide levels in ARC (-31%), as well as in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) (-37%) were decreased with BMOV treatment in these fatty rats. These data indicate that BMOV may increase insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue and decrease appetite and body fat by decreasing NPY levels in the hypothalamus. BMOV-induced reduction in appetite and weight gain along with normalized insulin levels in models of obesity, suggest its possible use as a therapeutic agent in obesity. 相似文献

Summary Thiazolidinediones are potent antidiabetic compounds, which act by enhancing peripheral insulin sensitivity. They are also
activators of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ in adipose tissue. Pioglitazone induces in vivo adipocyte differentiation in the obese Zucker fa/fa rat and hence the capacity
of adipose tissue to utilize glucose. Nevertheless, muscles are the major site for insulin-mediated glucose disposal. The
increase of muscle glucose utilization under thiazolidinedione treatment could be secondary to local adipose tissue differentiation.
This possibility is supported by the fact that a thiazolidinedione-induced myoblast conversion into adipocytes has been described
in vitro. To address this problem, we have studied the in vivo effect of a pioglitazone treatment on insulin-induced glucose
utilization and the expression of genes exclusively expressed in mature adipocytes in three muscles differing by their fibre
composition in Zucker (fa/fa) rats.
Whereas pioglitazone treatment increased insulin-stimulated glucose utilization to the same extent in all muscle types, an
adipocyte differentiation was only present in the oxidative muscle, the soleus. Soleus muscle was also the only one in which
the presence of genes specific for adipose tissue could be detected before the pioglitazone treatment. There was no detectable
expression of adipocyte specific genes in the extensor digitorum longus or in the epitrochlearis muscles before or after the
drug treatment. We conclude that pioglitazone effects on muscle glucose metabolism cannot be due to a local adipocyte differentiation,
and that the conversion of myoblasts into adipocytes under thiazolidinedione stimulation observed in vitro is, if it exists,
a marginal phenomenon in vivo. [Diabetologia (1998) 41: 963–968]

The effect of dietary olive oil and fish oil on the lipolytic dose-response of the beta3-adrenergic agonists, epinephrine, isoproterenol, BRL-37344, and CGP-12177, in adipocytes was studied in pregnant and virgin rats either untreated or under hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic conditions. Rats were fed a semisynthetic diet containing 5% of either olive oil or fish oil and studied at day 20 of treatment and/or gestation. Plasma glucose was lower and plasma insulin, triglycerides, and free fatty acids (FFAs) were higher in pregnant versus virgin rats, and the insulin sensitivity index was lower in the former. Lumbar adipose tissue phospholipid fatty acids showed a significantly higher monounsaturated fatty acid and a lower (n - 3) fatty acid content in rats fed the olive oil diet versus the fish oil diet. The lipolytic dose-response curve of either adrenergic agent was always lower in adipocytes from untreated pregnant rats versus virgin rats, and whereas the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp decreased these responses in adipocytes from virgin rats fed the olive oil diet only, adipocytes from pregnant rats always showed a decreased dose-response lipolytic curve. Thus, the lipolytic responsiveness of beta3-adrenoceptor (beta3-AR) agonists by adipocytes is impaired in cells from rats made hyperinsulinemic chronically by pregnancy or acutely by the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, but such response to the acute condition disappears when the adipocyte phospholipid composition is modified by changes in dietary fatty acids. 相似文献

Background It has been reported that angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) can ameliorate hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance.
Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD-1), which catalyzes the cellular synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids, affects lipid metabolism.
In this study, we investigated whether SCD-1 gene expression is affected by ARB treatment.
Methods Obese fa/fa Zucker rats fed a high-fat diet were treated with a potent ARB and olmesartan, and the resulting changes in the components
of serum and liver were studied. Gene expression of hepatic SCD-1 was assayed using real-time PCR.
Results The serum glucose and insulin levels and hepatic TG content of the obese Zucker rats fed a high-fat diet were reduced after
olmesartan administration, while the serum adiponectin level was increased. Real-time PCR revealed an increase of SCD-1 gene
expression in the liver of these rats, followed by a reduction after olmesartan administration. The ratio of stearic acid
(C18:0) to oleic acid (C18:1) in the liver was increased by olmesartan, indicating a reduction in the in vivo activity of
SCD-1.
Conclusions ARB ameliorates hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance in obese fa/fa Zucker rats fed a high-fat diet. Gene expression of SCD-1 is decreased by olmesartan, suggesting that the beneficial effect
is due partly to suppression of the key enzyme for hepatic lipid metabolism by ARB. 相似文献

Cellular insulin resistance is a common feature of the diabetic and obese state. To determine the effect of dietary fat and the insulin resistant state of diabetes on adipose tissue composition, control and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were fed four diets differing in fat content (10 percent w/w or 20% w/w) and polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid (P/S) ratios (0.2 or 2.0) for 6 weeks. At 3 weeks diabetes was induced in half the animals in each diet group. Increasing the fat content and P/S ratio of the diet increased the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids and decreased the contents of monounsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids. The higher level of C-18:2(6) and the lower levels of C20:4(6) and monounsaturated fatty acids observed in diabetic animals is consistent with altered desaturase enzyme activity. Diet and diabetes induced compositional changes in essential and non-essential fatty acids in the adipose tissue may alter the total body pools of available fatty acids for the synthesis of other lipids such as phospholipids. 相似文献

The content and accretion of fatty acids in 30, 45 and 60-day-old Zucker lean Fa/? and obese fa/fa rats fed either reference chow or a cafeteria diet has been studied, together with their actual fatty acid intake during each period. Diet had little overall effect on the pattern of deposition of fatty acids, but quantitatively the deposition of fat was much higher in cafeteria-fed rats. The fat-rich cafeteria diet allowed the direct incorporation of most fatty acids into the rat lipids, whilst chow feeding activated lipogenesis and the deposition of a shorter chain and more saturated pattern of fatty acids. Genetic, obesity induced a significant expansion of net lipogenesis when compared with lean controls. Cafeteria-fed obese rats accrued a high proportion of fatty acids, which was close to that ingested, but nevertheless showed a net de novo synthesis of fatty acids. It is postulated that the combined effects of genetic obesity and a fat-rich diet result in high rates of fat accretion with limited net lipogenesis. Lean Zucker rats show a progressive impairment of their delta 5-desaturase system, a situation also observed in obese rats fed a reference diet. In Zucker obese rats, cafeteria feeding resulted in an alteration of the conversion of C18:2 into C20:3. The cafeteria diet fully compensated for these drawbacks by supplying very high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids. 相似文献

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) affect body fat gain, carcinogenesis, insulin resistance, and lipid peroxidation in mammals. Several isomers of CLA exist, of which the (9Z, 11E) and (10E, 12Z) isomers have beneficial effects on human metabolism but are scarce in foods. Bacterial polyunsaturated fatty acid isomerases are promising biotechnological catalysts for CLA production. We describe six crystal structures of the Propionibacterium acnes polyunsaturated fatty acid isomerase PAI in apo- and product-bound forms. The three-domain flavoprotein has previously undescribed folds outside the FAD-binding site. Conformational changes in a hydrophobic channel toward the active site reveal a unique gating mechanism for substrate specificity. The geometry of the substrate-binding site explains the length preferences for C18 fatty acids. A catalytic mechanism for double-bond isomerization is formulated that may be altered to change substrate specificity for syntheses of rare CLAs from easily accessible precursors. 相似文献
