This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of pectin (PE), guar gum (GG) and psyllium (PSY) intake on VLDL and LDL metabolism in female guinea pigs fed high dietary cholesterol. Guinea pigs were fed a 15 g/100 g fat diet containing 0.25 g/100 g cholesterol with 12.5 g/100 g PE, 12.5 g/100 g GG, 7.5 g/100 g PSY or 12.5 g/100 g cellulose (control diet) for 4 wk. Plasma cholesterol concentrations were 29, 43 and 39% lower in guinea pigs fed PE, GG or PSY, respectively, compared with the control group (P < 0.0001). Plasma apolipoprotein (apo) B concentrations were 16-22% lower in the groups fed soluble fiber compared with the control group (P < 0.01). In contrast, hepatic cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were not different among the PE, GG, PSY and control groups. No differences in triacylglycerol (TAG) or apo B secretion rates, measured by blocking VLDL catabolism by triton (WR 1339) injection, were observed, whereas plasma LDL apo B fractional catabolic rates (FCR), determined by injection of radiolabeled LDL, were higher in guinea pigs fed GG or PSY than in those from the control group. All sources of dietary soluble fiber reduced LDL apo B flux (P < 0.05). These results suggest that the mechanisms of plasma LDL cholesterol lowering by dietary soluble fiber are distinctive for each fiber source and result in specific alterations in lipoprotein metabolism in female guinea pigs. Differences between male and female guinea pigs in response to these diets are discussed. 相似文献

The objective of these studies was to investigate the comparative physiology and regulation of bile acid metabolism in the male Golden Syrian hamster by measuring the rate of fecal bile acid excretion and bile acid pool size in animals fed a cereal-based diet either alone, or with added cholesterol or cholestyramine. In group-housed hamsters fed only the plain diet fecal bile acid excretion in animals at 6, 10, and 15 weeks of age averaged 11.0, 8.0, and 6.9 mumol/d per 100 g body weight (bw), respectively. Pool size, measured by subtracting from the total amount of bile acid washed out over 12 hours of biliary diversion the amount of bile acid excreted in the stools over the same period, equalled 17.8 mumol/100 g bw in 15-week-old hamsters fed the plain diet. Hence, under basal conditions, these animals turned over about 38% of their bile acid pool daily. In hamsters fed a diet with 3% cholestyramine for 18 days, fecal bile acid excretion averaged 20.6 mumol/d per 100 g bw, and the pool size contracted to 5.8 mumol/100 g bw. In matching animals fed a diet containing 0.12% cholesterol for 30 days, hepatic cholesterol levels increased from 1.9 +/- 0.1 to 12.6 +/- 0.7 mg/g, fecal bile acid excretion increased marginally from 5.8 to 8.0 mumol/day per 100 g bw, while pool size was unchanged (16.6 mumol/100 g bw). When the cholesterol content of the diet was raised to 1.0%, hepatic cholesterol levels reached 66.5 +/- 2.6 mg/g, but bile acid excretion remained at 8 mumol/d per 100 g bw. These data define some of the basal features of bile acid metabolism in the hamster, and substantiate the view that the marked cholesterolemic response of this species may relate partly to a limited ability to convert dietary cholesterol to bile acid. 相似文献

The effects of dietary fat saturation and saturated fatty acid composition on plasma lipoprotein concentrations and hepatic cholesterol metabolism were investigated in guinea pigs. Animals were fed semipurified diets containing 15 g fat/100 g diet, as palm kernel, palm oil, beef tallow, lard, olive oil or corn oil. Plasma lipoprotein concentrations were significantly altered by the type of dietary fat. The LDL cholesterol concentration was highest in animals fed the diet with palm kernel and lowest in animals fed the diet with corn oil, whereas HDL cholesterol was lowest in beef tallow-fed guinea pigs (P < 0.01). Hepatic cholesteryl ester concentrations were 100% higher in animals fed diets containing polyunsaturated corn oil and monounsaturated olive oil compared with animals fed any of the saturated fat diets (P < 0.01). Hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase activity varied in the different dietary fat groups independent of hepatic cholesterol pools or plasma LDL concentrations. In contrast, hepatic acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity was significantly correlated with plasma LDL cholesterol across all dietary groups (r = 0.63, P < 0.001). These data demonstrate that regulation of hepatic HMG-CoA reductase activity is relatively independent of changes in plasma lipoprotein levels, whereas hepatic ACAT activity exhibits a positive correlation with plasma LDL cholesterol concentrations. 相似文献

Sixty-eight female neonatal pigs selected for seven (Experiment 1) or eight (Experiment 2) generations for high (HG) or low (LG) plasma cholesterol were used to test the hypothesis that neonatal dietary cholesterol fed during the first 4 or 8 wk of postnatal life increases the cholesterol content of the cerebrum in young adulthood following free access to a high-fat (15%), high-cholesterol (0.5%) diet from 8 to 20 or 24 wk of age. Pigs were removed from their dams at 1 d of age and given free access to a sow-milk replacer diet containing 9.5% coconut fat and 0 or 0.5 % cholesterol. All pigs (except four HG and four LG pigs in Experiment 2, which were deprived of cholesterol throughout the study) were fed the high-fat, high-cholesterol diet from 8 wk to termination at 20 or 24 wk of age. Cerebrum weight and cholesterol concentration were higher in pigs fed cholesterol neonatally than in those deprived of cholesterol neonatally in both experiments, but weight and cholesterol concentration were unaffected by genetic line. Cholesterol concentrations in longissimus and semitendinosus muscles and in subcutaneous fat were unaffected by diet or genetic line. We conclude that dietary cholesterol deprivation during the first 4 to 8 wk of life in piglets is associated with lower cholesterol concentration and total content in the young adult cerebrum than in pigs supplemented with cholesterol in early life. These data support previous observations and suggest the possibility of a metabolic need for neonatal dietary cholesterol in normal brain development. 相似文献

Male adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups in a 2 x 2 factorial design and were fed diets containing cooked-stored polished rice (CSPR), with and without 0.7 g/100 g of Nebacitin [bacitracinneomycin sulfate (2:1, wt/wt)] and with and without 1 g cholesterol/100 g diet. The CSPR diet contained 1.87 g resistant starch/100 g. After 4 wk, arterial blood and liver were collected. Feces were collected during the last 7 d. Rats fed the diet with Nebacitin and cholesterol had higher serum total cholesterol than the rats fed diets without cholesterol. Serum triglyceride concentration was greater in rats fed Nebacitin, regardless of dietary cholesterol concentration. Rats fed the diet with Nebacitin and cholesterol had higher serum LDL cholesterol concentration and liver total cholesterol concentration than rats fed the other three diets. Rats fed the CSPR diet with Nebacitin both with and without cholesterol had a higher fecal resistant starch concentration and excretion and lower serum short-chain fatty acid concentration than rats fed the diets without Nabacitin. Hepatic cholesterol concentration was greater in rats fed Nebacitin only when the diet also contained cholesterol. Therefore, dietary Nebacitin alters lipid metabolism in rats, and some effects are most pronounced in those also fed cholesterol. 相似文献

The effect of a mixture of organisms (a probiotic mixture) comprising Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Clostridium, Saccharomyces and Candida (10(7-8) colony-forming units/g rice bran of each component) on lipid metabolism was compared with that of L. acidophilus and that of S. faecalis. There were four treatment groups: rice bran (control), the mixture of organisms, L. acidophilus or S. faecalis (30 g/kg) were given to rats in a fat- and cholesterol-enriched diet for 4 weeks. The serum total cholesterol concentration of the group fed on the mixture of organisms was reduced by 15-33% compared with the other groups at the end of the 4-week feeding period (P < 0.05). This group also had a lower hepatic cholesterol concentration (36-44%) than the two single-bacteria groups (P < 0.05). 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-Co A reductase (NADPH; EC 1.1.1.34) activities of the mixed-organism and L. acidophilus groups were significantly lower (61-63%) than those of the other groups (P < 0.05); the activity of the S. faecalis group was also significantly lower (42%) than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The faecal cholesterol and bile acid concentrations of the mixed-organism group increased compared with those of the L. acidophilus and S. faecalis groups (P < 0.05). The capacity of the mixed-organism cells to bind bile salt in vitro was significantly higher (approximately 50%) than that of the single-bacteria cells (P < 0.05). On the other hand, cholesterol micelle formation for the mixed-organism cells was significantly (approximately 9%) lower than that of the single-bacteria cells (P < 0.05). These results indicate that the mixture of organisms decreased the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver and increased the loss of steroids from the intestine, in rats. Thus, the mixture of organisms had a hypocholesterolaemic role. 相似文献

The degradation of phytate (inositol hexaphosphate) in rapeseed meal diet not containing phytase activity was studied in 15 growing ileum-fistulated pigs. Stomach and small intestinal degradation and total gastrointestinal degradation were compared. The effect of addition of calcium carbonate to the rapeseed meal diet at two levels (9.2 and 18.5 g/kg diet) was investigated. A commercial barley-wheat-soybean diet with intrinsic phytase activity was used as reference. Phytate and its hydrolysis products in diets, ileal digesta and feces were determined by HPLC ion-pair chromatography. Hydrolysis of phytate in the stomach and small intestine was 35-45% in pigs fed the rapeseed meal diet independent of calcium addition, and 65% in pigs fed the reference diet. Total gastrointestinal degradation of phytate in pigs fed the rapeseed diet was 97, 77 and 42% (P < 0.001) when calcium intakes were 4.5, 9.9 and 15 g/d, respectively; total gastrointestinal degradation was 72% in pigs fed the reference diet. The intestinal phytate degradation pattern, when rapeseed diet was fed, indicated the activity of an unspecific phosphatase, whereas that of the reference diet indicated intrinsic dietary phytase activity. We conclude that dietary supplementation of calcium carbonate decreases the phytate degradation in the colon of pigs, but not in the stomach and small intestine. 相似文献

Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 32) were fed diets without fiber (control) or containing 1 or 5% chicory extract or 5% inulin for 4 wk; 0.2% cholesterol was added to all diets. Rats fed chicory extract and inulin diets had significantly higher serum high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and generally lower low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations, thus significantly greater ratios of HDL/LDL cholesterol compared with the controls (P < 0.05). The serum apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A-1 ratio was significantly lower in rats fed diets containing chicory extract or inulin than that in rats fed fiber-free diets, due to significant reductions in apolipoprotein B concentration (P < 0.05). Greater liver lipid and triglyceride concentrations were observed in rats fed chicory extract or inulin diets compared with the controls (P < 0.05). However, liver phospholipid and cholesterol concentrations were not significantly different among groups (P > 0.05). Addition of 5% inulin to the diet resulted in greater cecal weight, whereas both 5% chicory extract and 5% inulin resulted in greater cecal propionic acid concentration compared with the controls (P < 0.05). Rats fed chicory extract and inulin had significantly greater fecal lipid, cholesterol and bile acid excretions than those fed fiber-free diets (P < 0.05). The results of this study suggest that the improved lipid metabolism observed in rats fed chicory extract (mainly inulin component) may be caused by an alteration in the absorption and/or synthesis of cholesterol, which might result from the changes in cecal fermentation, and by an increase in the fecal excretion of lipid, cholesterol and bile acid. 相似文献

Several investigators have reported that feeding a semi-synthetic diet of casein and dextrose to New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits will increase total serum cholesterol concentration, principally through an increase in the beta-lipoprotein fractions, thereby creating a useful model for atherosclerosis research. Although there is evidence to suggest that the dextrose/casein diet alters low-density lipoprotein receptor and bile acid clearance of cholesterol, the underlying mechanism is not completely understood. The effects of the diet on the overall physiology of the rabbit have received little attention. In this study feeding a diet of casein and dextrose of male NZW rabbits for 4 weeks resulted in changes in the serum lipid concentrations. During that time the rabbits fed the dextrose/casein diet gained less weight than did control rabbits. In the test diet rabbits, liver aspartate and alanine transaminase activities were increased from baseline values of 27 +/- 2 U/L and 89 +/- 9 U/L respectively to 112 +/- 21 U/L and 281 +/- 34 U/L respectively, then returned to the high end of the reference range. Necropsy findings included hepatomegaly caused by vacuolar hepatopathy in 19 or 20 experimental rabbits; rabbits fed the control diet had no hepatic lesions. Ultrastructural analysis revealed that enlargement of the liver cells was due to glycogen deposition. Adrenal glands from animals fed the experimental diet had a minimal change in the size of the adrenocortical cells consisting of slight ballooning and rarefaction of the cytoplasm. In a second study the level of dietary fiber was doubled. This resulted in a three-fold increase in lipid concentrations, compared with the fivefold increase in the first study. The liver enzyme activities were increased to the same extent as in the first study. Histologic changes were comparable to those in the first study. The activity of hepatic cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase was 3.7 +/- 0.4 pmol/min/mg of protein, compared with the control value of 7.7 +/- 1.1 pmol/min/mg of protein (P < 0.05) in the second study. The improved rate of weight gain and the lesser increase in total serum cholesterol concentration in the second study with increased dietary fiber suggest that two separate activities may be involved. Although the level of dietary fiber may be related to weight gain and total serum cholesterol values, the relation to the decrease in liver transaminase activities in study 1 was probably coincidental. It appears that the dextrose/casein diet causes decreased activity of hepatic cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase, which could cause a decrease in the biliary excretion of cholesterol. 相似文献

The effects of spinach leaf protein concentrate (SPPC) on serum and liver lipid concentrations and on serum free amino acid concentrations were examined in rats fed a cholesterol-free diet containing 2 and 10% fats. The serum total cholesterol, triacylglycerol and phospholipid concentrations in the rats fed an SPPC diet containing 2% corn oil were significantly lower than those of the rats fed a corresponding casein diet. When 10% corn oil or lard was used, the serum cholesterol-lowering effect of the SPPC became insignificant, but the serum and liver triacylglycerol concentrations were kept at significantly lower levels. Both the amounts of fecal neutral steroids and bile acids were significantly higher in the rats fed the SPPC than those of the casein-fed rats. The concentrations of serum threonine, serine, glutamine, glycine, cystine, and isoleucine were significantly higher in the rats fed the SPPC diet containing 2% corn oil compared with those of the control rats, but when the dietary fat was raised to 10%, only glycine showed a higher serum concentration. These results indicate that the SPPC has a stronger cholesterol-lowering effect at a lower dietary fat level, 2%, and the activity is partly due to the inhibition of intestinal absorption of cholesterol and bile acid, and partly due to an increase in the concentration of some of the serum amino acids. 相似文献

Although there is general agreement that saturated fatty acids elevate plasma cholesterol concentrations, the relative effects of individual fatty acids on cholesterol and bile acid metabolism are less clear. In this study, cholesterol and bile acid responses to diets enriched in different saturated fatty acids were investigated in hamsters. The six diets examined were as follows: 5% fat (g/100 g) enriched in palmitic acid (16:0) with no cholesterol, 5% fat 16:0-enriched, 0.05% cholesterol (wt/wt), and four diets containing 0.05% cholesterol and 15% fat with each diet enriched in lauric (12:0), myristic (14:0), palmitic (16:0), or stearic acid (18:0). Total plasma cholesterol concentration was significantly greater in hamsters fed the 14:0-enriched diet relative to those fed the 18:0-enriched diet (P < 0.05). Both plasma and liver cholesterol concentrations of hamsters fed 18:0 did not differ from those of the group fed no dietary cholesterol. In all instances, differences in total plasma cholesterol were accounted for within the HDL fraction; no significant treatment differences in VLDL or LDL cholesterol were found. Total daily fecal bile acid excretion was higher in hamsters fed the 15% fat 16:0 diet compared with those fed no dietary cholesterol (P < 0.05), but not significantly different from other treatment groups. There was greater deoxycholic acid excretion (P < 0.05) from hamsters fed the 14:0 and 16:0 diets compared with those fed the 18:0-enriched diet. Small intestinal + gallbladder bile acids, an index of pool size, did not differ significantly among the groups. The observed relative hypocholesterolemic effect of stearic acid was not mediated by increased bile acid excretion. 相似文献

To investigate the effect of bile acids or dietary lipid on the expression of intestinal apolipoproteins, the mRNA levels of apolipoprotein A-I and A-IV in the intestine from rats fed a diet containing cholestyramine or a fat-free diet were compared with those from rats fed a control diet containing 25% casein and 5% corn oil. Plasma total cholesterol concentration was lower after 16 h in rats fed a diet containing cholestyramine or a fat-free diet than in rats fed a control diet. In rats fed the fat-free diet, HDL cholesterol concentration also was lower than in those fed the control diet. The pool of bile acid in intestinal contents was significantly lower in rats fed cholestyramine than in both other groups. The relative abundance of jejunal apolipoprotein A-I mRNA did not differ between groups. Jejunal apolipoprotein A-IV mRNA abundance was significantly lower than in controls in rats fed the fat-free and cholestyramine-containing diets. Abundance of apolipoprotein A-I mRNA in ileal mucosa was comparable to controls in rats fed a fat-free diet but was significantly lower in rats fed cholestyramine. Ileal apolipoprotein A-IV mRNA tended to be lower in rats fed cholestyramine and a fat-free diet than in controls. We propose that decreased absorption of dietary lipid may modulate changes in jejunal apolipoprotein A-IV mRNA level and low levels of bile acids in the lumen may modulate changes in ileal apolipoprotein A-I mRNA level. 相似文献

Swiss Albino mice were fed a diet enriched with fat to produce hypercholesterolemia. The further administration of Lactobacillus reuteri CRL 1098 (10(4) cells/d) to hypercholesterolemic mice for 7 d decreased total cholesterol by 38%, producing serum cholesterol concentrations similar to that of the control group (67.4 mg/ml). This low dose of L. reuteri caused a 40% reduction in triglycerides and a 20% increase in the ratio of high density lipoprotein to low density lipoprotein without bacterial translocation of the native microflora into the spleen and liver. These data suggest that L. reuteri CRL 1098 is an effective hypocholesterolemic adjuvant at a low cell concentration for mice. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was, first, to investigate whether cholesterol (C) absorption, enhanced by cholesterol feeding, was related to synthesis of cholesterol, serum level of low density lipoprotein (LDL)-C, and receptor activity for LDL apolipoprotein (apo) B in healthy men. Secondly, we were interested in whether apolipoprotein E (apoE) phenotypes contributed to cholesterol and LDL apoB metabolism under these conditions. We studied 29 home-living men aged 55 +/- 1 (mean +/- SE) years on a low-fat, low cholesterol (208 +/- 13 mg/day) diet followed by a low-fat high cholesterol (878 +/- 38 mg/day) diet during 5 weeks. Cholesterol feeding increased total cholesterol, LDL-C, high density lipoprotein (HDL)-C, and LDL apoB levels from 10% to 13% (P less than 0.05) and bile acid production and cholesterol turnover by 16% (P less than 0.05), decreased the fractional catabolic rate (FCR) for LDL apoB by 10% (P less than 0.05) and cholesterol absorption efficiency by 8% (P less than 0.05), while cholesterol synthesis only tended to decrease. During the cholesterol feeding, LDL-C was positively related to apoB production rate and cholesterol absorption efficiency (P less than 0.05), and negatively related to bile acid and cholesterol synthesis (P less than 0.05) and FCR for LDL apoB, which, in turn, was negatively related to cholesterol absorption efficiency and positively to bile acid synthesis. ApoE phenotype was positively related to TC, LDL-C, and LDL apoB levels and negatively to FCR for LDL apoB. The increase of the LDL-C level by the high cholesterol intake was positively correlated with LDL-C on high cholesterol diet and apoE phenotypes, so that the increase was 7% in apoE2 (ns), 11% in apoE3 (P less than 0.05), and 18% in apoE4 (P less than 0.05); the increase of bile acid synthesis was significant only in subjects with apoE2. Moreover, the increase of LDL-C was positively related to the absolute amount of dietary cholesterol absorbed and negatively to FCR for LDL apoB. The findings suggest that the higher the LDL-C level, the higher is the absorption efficiency of cholesterol and production of LDL apoB, and the lower is the removal of LDL apoB and synthesis of both bile acids and cholesterol, and the more frequently the subjects had epsilon 4 allele. The nonresponsiveness to dietary cholesterol was dependent on low LDL-C level, apoE2 phenotype, and effective bile acid synthesis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The isotopic dilution method, which permits the in vivo measurements of the rates of the processes involved in cholesterol turnover, has been applied to rats fed a commercial stock diet or a basal semipurified diet in which either the nature and proportions of the source of dietary fiber or the salt mixture were changed. The cholesterolemia was about 100 mg/100 g in rats fed agar-agar, cellulose, bran or the stock diet. Pectin addition (5%) lowered significantly the plasma concentration of cholesterol (70 mg/100 g). Changes in the source of dietary fiber or salt mixture have moderate effects on the absorption coefficient of dietary cholesterol (range 58.2%-82%). In comparison to agar-agar, cellulose at 2.3% in the diet significantly lowered this coefficient, but larger amounts of cellulose (6.8% or 12.3%), or pectin (5%) were without effect, while bran addition (10%) tended to slightly decrease cholesterol absorption. Hence, high levels of cellulose in the diet increased the absorption coefficient in comparison to a low cellulose diet. A decrease of this coefficient was also observed when the calcium content of the diet was increased. Cholesterol biosynthesis and fecal excretion were inversely correlated to the absorption coefficient of dietary cholesterol in rats fed all of the semipurified diets indicating, as previously shown, that the intestine was the major source of biosynthesized cholesterol diverted into the plasma. However, feeding a commercial stock diet greatly increased the cholesterogenesis and the fecal elimination of bile acids, suggesting a high hepatic cholesterogenesis. 相似文献

Thirty-six young male Syrian hamsters were fed with test diets containing coconut oil, soybean oil or fish oil with and without 0.5% cholesterol for 6 weeks. Without dietary cholesterol supplementation, animals on the fish oil diet had significantly lower plasma total triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol than those on the coconut oil or soybean oil diet. The decrease of TG was seen mainly in the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) fraction. The degree of decrease in cholesterol was similar in all of the lipoprotein fractions. With 0.5% dietary cholesterol supplementation, there was no significant difference in plasma TG level among the three dietary groups. However, the fish oil group had significantly higher plasma cholesterol than the coconut oil and soybean oil groups. The increase of cholesterol was mainly in the VLDL and low density lipoprotein (LDL) fractions. In contrast to the plasma cholesterol level, the hepatic cholesteryl ester content was significantly lower in the cholesterol-supplemented fish oil group than in the coconut oil and soybean oil counterparts. The cholesterol-supplemented fish oil group showed higher liver microsomal acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase activity than the other two groups, while there was no significant difference in the excretion of fecal neutral and acidic sterols among the three dietary groups. 相似文献

The effects of lard added to starter diets on various serum lipids were determined in broiler chickens between 14 and 42 d of age. Nonisocaloric starter diets were formulated to contain either 0, 3, or 7% added lard, where the megacaloric percentages of all major nutrients were held constant. Birds received either 0, 3, or 7% added lard in starter diets through 10 d of age (S1), followed by either 3 or 7% added dietary lard through 21 d of age (S2). All possible combinations of the three S1 diets and two S2 diets yielded six total dietary treatments. A common grower diet was provided after 21 d. Concentrations of various serum lipids were determined weekly from 14 to 42 d of age. The effects of both the S1 and S2 diets on total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) were inconsistent and were influenced by sex between 14 and 42 d of age. However, serum triglycerides and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations showed progressive increases over the 14 to 42 d period in birds that received dietary lard at either level in the S1 diet. These same serum constituents also increased to the greatest extents over the same period when birds were provided 3% added lard in the S2 diet. It was concluded that the response of broiler chickens between 14 and 42 d to different levels of dietary lard were influenced by age of feeding during the starter period. Furthermore, the specific effects of the diets on serum cholesterol, LDLC, and HDLC concentrations between 14 and 42 d varied with the sex and age of the bird. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The ground squirrel on a high cholesterol diet exhibits prolonged intestinal transit, a pathogenetic factor in cholesterol gallstone formation. AIMS: To examine the effect of a high cholesterol diet on the characteristics of the migrating myoelectrical complex (MMC) and the potential benefit of erythromycin. METHODS: Twenty four animals received either a trace (controls) or a 1% (high) cholesterol diet. After four weeks, five bipolar jejunal and terminal ileal electrodes were implanted. Seven days later, myoelectric activity was measured in conscious, fasted animals before and after treatment with erythromycin. Biliary lipid composition was assessed. RESULTS: Compared with controls, animals fed the high cholesterol diet exhibited a prolonged MMC cycle period (70 (6) versus 83 (3) minutes; p<0.05), whereas MMC migration velocity and the proportions of the MMC represented by phases I, II, and III were unchanged. Oral erythromycin significantly shortened the MMC cycle period in animals on the control and high cholesterol diet by 59% and 54% respectively, and increased the proportion of the cycle period occupied by phase III of the MMC in both dietary groups. Gall bladder bile became saturated with cholesterol and crystals developed in nine of 12 animals on the high cholesterol diet; controls had none. CONCLUSION: Animals fed a high cholesterol diet had a prolonged MMC cycle period. This, along with diminished gall bladder motility, impairs the enterohepatic cycling of bile salts and reduces their hepatic secretion, contributing to the formation of abnormal bile. Erythromycin initiated more frequent cycling of the MMC. Its therapeutic value in cholesterol gallstone formation warrants further evaluation. 相似文献

We conducted three growth trials to evaluate replacing carbohydrate sources with enzymatically modified potato starches in diets for weanling pigs. In Exp. 1, 180 pigs (initially 5.3 kg and 21+/-2 d of age) were used to compare the effects of corn (36.5%), edible-grade oat flour (36.5%), two enzymatically modified potato starches (12%), and added lactose (12%) on pig performance. Potato Starch 1 had a dextrose equivalent (DE) of 6 and Potato Starch 2 had a DE of 20; both were spray-dried maltodextrans. Pigs that were fed Potato Starch 2 had greater (P<.05) ADG and ADFI than pigs fed diets that contained corn or oat flour from d 0 to 14 after weaning, and pigs fed either Potato Starch 1 or added lactose had intermediate ADG and ADFI. However, for the overall trial (d 0 to 35), no differences (P>.10) in growth performance were observed. In Exp. 2, 198 pigs (initially 4.3 kg and 19+/-2 d of age) were used to determine whether modified Potato Starch 2 could replace a portion of the corn or lactose in the diet. The control diet contained 10% dried whey, and additional treatments were formulated by adding 7 or 14% modified Potato Starch 2 or lactose in place of corn. A positive control diet was formulated containing 29% dried whey. From d 0 to 14 after weaning, increasing dietary lactose improved (linear, P<.04) ADG and ADFI. Increasing the potato starch had no effect on ADG but increased ADFI (linear, P<.02). In Exp. 3, 180 pigs (initially 3.9 kg and 14+/-3 d of age) were used to evaluate Potato Starch 2 or 3 (DE = 30, a spray-dried glucose syrup) as replacements for either corn or lactose in the diet. Pigs were fed a control diet containing 15% dried whey and 12% added lactose. Twelve percent modified Potato Starch 2 or 3 replaced either corn or lactose in the diet on a wt/wt basis. From d 0 to 14 and d 0 to 21, pigs fed either modified potato starch substituted for corn had greater (P<.07) ADG than those fed the control diet. Pigs fed diets with either modified starch substituted for lactose had similar ADG as those fed the control diet. These results suggest that when substituted for corn, Potato Starch 2 can improve growth performance of weanling pigs. 相似文献

Although dietary cholesterol raises plasma total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations, the response to a given intake of cholesterol varies enormously among different species and even among individuals of the same species. The mechanisms responsible for differing sensitivity to dietary cholesterol were examined by comparing the rat, which is able to adapt to large fluctuations in sterol intake or loss with little change in plasma LDL levels, with the hamster, where changes in sterol balance strongly influence plasma LDL concentrations. When fed the same cholesterol-free diet, hepatic 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity was 16-fold higher in the rat than in the hamster. As a consequence, rates of hepatic cholesterol synthesis were 20-fold higher in the rat than in the hamster. In both species, hepatic cholesterol synthesis was suppressed > 90% in response to increasing loads of dietary cholesterol. However, the quantitative importance of this adaptive mechanism was much greater in the rat since the absolute reduction in hepatic cholesterol synthesis in the rat (2,110 nmol/h/g) was much larger than in the hamster (103 nmol/h/g). In the rat, the high basal level of 7 alpha-hydroxylase expression was further induced by substrate (cholesterol) allowing these animals to convert excess dietary cholesterol to bile acids efficiently. In contrast, the low basal level of enzyme expression in the hamster was not induced by dietary cholesterol. Thus, the low basal rates of bile acid and cholesterol synthesis coupled with a lack of 7 alpha-hydroxylase induction by cholesterol render the hamster much more sensitive than the rat to the cholesterolemic effects of dietary cholesterol. 相似文献
