Influence of bioflavonoids from the radix extract of Scutellaria baicalensis on the level of serum lipids, and the development of laboratory rats fed with fresh and oxidized fats

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of bioflavonoids from the radix of Scurellaria baicalensis on the level of lipids, via the determination of the concentrations of triglycerides, total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the plasma of laboratory rats fed high-fat and high-cholesterol diets, and via the calculation of their atherogenic index. We also studied the influence of bioflavonoids on their physical development by measuring the increase in their body mass and liver mass. The rats were fed a diet with a 15% content of fresh or oxidized lard or sunflower oil, along with 0.5% added cholesterol. 0.05% S. baicalensis radix extract was added to the diet of half of the rats as the source of bioflavonoids. In the group of rats fed a diet containing oxidized oil we observed a significantly lower increase in body mass (15.5 +/- 7.6 g/4 weeks/rat) than that observed for the control rats (77.0 +/- 15.7 g/4 weeks/rat). The addition of S. baicalensis radix extract to the diet raised the increase in body mass in the groups receiving oil as the source of fat; those receiving fresh oil had a 40% increase, and those receiving oxidized oil showed a 300% increase relative to the appropriate controls. In all the groups of rats fed a diet with bioflavonoids added, a beneficial decrease in the plasma triglyceride content was observed relative to the appropriate controls. In the plasma of rats on a diet containing the extract and fresh or oxidized oil or fresh lard, we observed a beneficial reduction in the total cholesterol level relative to the appropriate controls. The atherogenic index was higher for the group of animals fed with fresh lard than for those fed with fresh oil, and higher for those fed with oxidized oil than for those fed with oxidized lard. The addition of bioflavonoids to the diet beneficially reduced the atherogenic index value in the group fed with fresh oil, and increased its value in the group fed with oxidized lard.

The experimental obesity by high-fat feeding--a model for evaluation of the biological value of fats

The experimental obesity by high-fat feeding of rats, introduced after weaning, was found to be a suitable model for evaluation of the biological value of nutritional fats with different fatty acid composition: butter (group B), lard (L), partially hydrogenated oil (H), lard + sunflower oil 2:1 (LS). The differences in the fatty acid composition of these regimens affect: the efficiency in creating the model of obesity; the hormonal pattern of blood plasma; some metabolic pathways in liver and adipose tissue (especially in group H); the fatty acid composition of some structural, reserve and transport lipids; some biological tests indicative of membrane's phospholipid and fatty acid composition, i.e. the rate of platelets aggregation. A special attention should be paid to the striking differences in the cellularity and morphogenesis of adipose tissue in group B (hyperplastic obesity) in comparison with all other high-fat groups (hypertrophic obesity), irrespective of the identical energy and protein content of the diets. Thus, the early administration of a diet with butterfat (50% of energy) promoted a model of hyperplastic obesity, while the isocaloric diet with lard + sunflower oil caused a hypertrophic type of obesity. The authors have proved the regenerating capacity of the periepididymal fat pad in adult rats after partial lipectomy. The relative contribution of endogenic and exogenic (nutritional) factors in this process is discussed and the modifications in the cellularity of adipose tissue on these conditions are evaluated.     

Effect of amaranth and oat bran on blood serum and liver lipids in rats depending on the kind of dietary fats

The effect of amaranth and oat bran on the lipids of blood and liver in rats depending on the kind of fats in diet was the subject of our study. Sixty male Buffalo rats were fed for 28 days one of six diet containing 15% of fat (lard or sunflower oil), 20% of protein and 0.5% of cholesterol. Amaranth and oat bran added to diet provided 4–4.5% of dietary fiber, water soluble fraction of which amounted to 30%. Amaranth significantly decreased the level of total cholesterol in rats blood serum (by 10.7% in the case of diet with lard and by 14% with sunflower oil) and in liver (by 20% in the case of diet with lard and by 23% with sunflower oil). Similarly oat bran decreased the level of total cholesterol in the blood serum: by 19% in the case of diet with lard and by 22% with sunflower oil; and in liver by 22 and 27%, respectively. Amaranth and oat bran did not influence HDL-cholesterol in the blood of rats. The influence of amaranth and oat bran on the concentration of triglycerides in the blood serum depended on the kind of fats in a diet. The diets containing amaranth or oat bran with lard did not decrease the concentration of this lipids, however, the same diets but with sunflower oil decreased this concentration significantly (by 22%). In liver significant hypotriglyceridemic effect of amaranth and oat bran was observed for both of the diets: based on lard and sunflower. The decrease of triglycerides concentration under the influence of amaranth amounted to 10% (diet with lard) and 15% (diet with sunflower oil). Oat bran decreased the concentration of triglycerides in liver by 15% (diet with lard) and 20% (diet with sunflower oil). Sunflower oil added to the diets augmented the hypolipemic effect of amaranth and oat bran.

USING TOTAL DOUBLE-BOND VALUE OF AN EDIBLE OIL TO PREDICT ITS EFFECT ON PLASMA LIPIDS

The objective of this study was to investigate the accuracy of using the total double-bond value (TDV) of edible oil to predict its effect on the plasma lipid level of rats. The test oils used included fish oil, squid visceral oil (high long chain n-3 PUFA, corn oil, soybean oil (high n-6 PUFA), olive oil, lard (high MUFA) and hydrogenated beef tallow (high SFA, S). Test diets contained 15% of each test oil with the cholesterol level made up to 1%. The results demonstrated that the sum of the percents of each MUFA and PUFA in an oil, multiplied by the number of double bonds in each compound (TDV), may be a better indicator to predict the effects of the oils on plasma lipid metabolism. There was a negative correlation between TDV and plasma total lipids and cholesterol levels, but the lard group was slightly lower than expected. Using TDV as an indicator for plasma lipid metabolism may not be perfect, but is much better than the P/S or P+M/S ratio.     

Effect of interesterified fat mixtures on certain lipid indices in experimental fat metabolism disturbance

Groups of adult Wistar male and female rats were fed isoenergetically for a three and a six weeks period either with synthetic lipogenic diet containing 5% and 20% fat mixtures (in which sunflower oil and lard were blended according to the ratio of 35:65) or with the same synthetic diet containing the mixture of sunflower oil and interesterified lard in a similar ratio. A control group received a normal diet for 6 weeks, whereas one of the experimental groups (fed with the 20% fat mixture in the lipogenic diet for 6 weeks) was given the normal diet for an additional two weeks period. After the feeding periods had been completed serum HDL-C levels and the total lipid, triglyceride, total cholesterol, free fatty acid levels were determined in serum and liver. The distribution of fatty acids in liver and heart muscle was also evaluated. In comparison to the control values it has been found: 1. Consumption of the lipogenic diet which is known to increase the serum total lipid and total cholesterol content induced in male rats a smaller augmentation in these indices when consuming the 20% fat mixture with a P/S ratio approaching the ideal 1 values, than in case of a 5% fat mixture consumption. In case of female rats, considerable increases of the serum values, could be observed at both fat consumption levels. The serum triglyceride and HDL-C contents decreased for all experimental groups. 2. The total lipid and triglyceride content of the liver increased in a high degree, the fatty liver syndrome was developed--more rapidly in males than in females. The total lipid, triglyceride and total cholesterol contents of the liver of male rats exceeded those of females by 15-30%. 3. The interesterification of the lard component of fat mixture resulted in lipid indices similar to those without interesterification, or in certain cases, they were found to be even slightly more favourable, i.e. the biological effect of the technological change proved to be adequate. 4. After a two weeks regeneration period the serum values of the male rats approached closer the normal control values than those of the females which were decreasing from a very high level but the degree of decrease was greater for them than for the male rats. The lipid content of the liver showed similar values.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

Effect of high-fat cholesterol enriched diets on hypolipemic action of Oenothera paradoxa oil in rats. Part 1. Blood serum and liver lipids

The effect on Oenothera paradoxa oil on blood serum and liver lipids metabolism in rats fed a semisynthetic high-fat cholesterol enriched diets was investigated. The source of fats was sunflower oil or lard in 15% quantities and the source of protein was soybean protein isolate in 27% quantity. The diets were enriched with 0.5% cholesterol. This dietary experiment was carried on for 8 weeks. For the first 4 weeks rats were fed standard diet and for the next 4 weeks Oe. paradoxa oil (300 mg/day/rat) was additionally given by stomach-tube. At the end of experiment the contents of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and free fatty acids in blood serum as well as cholesterol and triglycerides level in liver were determined. It was found, that the addition of cholesterol to the diet decreased the hypocholesterolemic and hypotriglyceridemic effects of Oe. paradoxa oil both in blood serum and liver. It have not had any significant effect on the free fatty acid concentration in blood serum decrease by Oe. paradoxa oil intake.     

Effect of grape seed oil supplementation on plasma lipid profiles in rats

The purpose of the study was to investigate the comparative effects of feeding of grape seed oil (GSO), soybean oil (SO), and lard on plasma lipid profile in rats. Lard fed diets increased body weight gain in rats and resulted in negative effects on lipoprotein metabolism. However, the GSO fed rats had a significant reduction in total cholesterol (TC, 60.6 mg/dL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC, 16.8 mg/dL), and atherogenic index (AI, 0.9), and the ratio of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) to TC (0.5) was significantly higher than those of SO and lard groups. These data suggest that GSO supplementation has significant health benefits through favorable alterations in plasma lipid profiles compared to SO and lard fed rats. GSO may be good dietary oil and may provide health benefits in hyperlipidemia and related complications.     

Effect of high-fat cholesterol enriched diets on hypolipemic action of Oenothera paradoxa oil in rats. Part 2. Blood serum and liver fatty acids

The effect of Oenothera paradoxa oil on blood serum and liver fatty acids composition in rats was studied. Rats were fed high-fat diets containing 15% of lard or sunflower oil with or without 0.5% of cholesterol. Soybean protein isolate (27%) was the source of proteins. Intake of Oe. paradoxa oil resulted in increase of levels of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and linoleic acid (LA) in blood serum and liver of experimental animals. The effect of Oe. paradoxa oil on blood serum and liver fatty acids composition depended mainly on the type and to the lower degree on the amount of fat in a diet. The addition of cholesterol did not change the influence of examined oil on the composition of fatty acids.     

Lipid-Lowering Effect of Eriocitrin, the Main Flavonoid in Lemon Fruit, in Rats on a High-Fat and High-Cholesterol Diet

ABSTRACT:  Eriocitrin (eriodictyol 7- O -β-rutinoside) is the main flavonoid in lemon fruit. In this study, eriocitrin was investigated for its lowering effect on serum and hepatic lipids in high-fat and high-cholesterol fed rats. Rats in the control group ( N = 6) were fed a 20% lard and 1% cholesterol diet for 21 d, and rats in the 0.35% eriocitrin group ( N = 6) and 0.70% eriocitrin group ( N = 6) were fed a diet supplemented with eriocitrin 0.35% and 0.70%, respectively. The content of hepatic total cholesterol and triglyceride in the eriocitrin group was no different from that of the control group. The total cholesterol, VLDL+LDL, triglyceride, and phospholipid in the serum of the 0.35% eriocitrin group showed significantly lower concentrations than the control group ( P < 0.05), although there was no difference in the HDL concentrations among the groups. The lowering effect of eriocitrin for serum total cholesterol was thought to be caused by a decrease in VLDL+LDL. The 0.35% eriocitrin group was shown to have a significant increase in excretion of fecal bile acid ( P < 0.05) and a tendency for enhanced hepatic m-RNA levels of LDL receptor in comparison with the control group.

Effects of dietary broccoli fibre and corn oil on serum lipids, faecal bile acid excretion and hepatic gene expression in rats

To determine the effects of broccoli fibre and corn oil on lipid metabolism, male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets containing high (30%) or low (5%) corn oil, in combination with either 7.5% broccoli fibre or cellulose, for 4 months. High corn oil groups had significantly lower serum cholesterol and triglycerides than had low corn oil groups (p < 0.001). Broccoli fibre also lowered serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels compared to cellulose fibre. Faecal bile acid concentrations were higher in high corn oil-fed rats than in low corn oil-fed rats, with broccoli fibre inclusion in high corn oil diets resulting in higher faecal bile acid concentrations. Regardless of corn oil level, broccoli fibre supplementation in the diet resulted in an increase (p = 0.018) in hepatic cytochrome P450, family 7A1 (CYP7A1) expression. High corn oil feeding resulted in reduced expression of fatty acid synthase (FAS) and increased expression of carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1a (CPT1a) and 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) (p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that high dietary corn oil and broccoli fibre have beneficial effects on lipid metabolism. Corn oil lipid-lowering effects may be due to alteration of hepatic expression of genes involved in lipid synthesis and increased rate of cholesterol catabolism to bile acids. Broccoli fibre may also act via its physical properties to reduce enterohepatic bile acid recycling and intestinal lipid absorption, and increase luminal binding of bile acids, resulting in increased faecal bile acid excretion.     

Supplementation of Energy-restricted Diets with Coconut Oil Improves Nitrogen Balance Without Elevation of Blood Cholesterol Levels

ABSTRACT: Thirty-six growing male rats were fed 1 of 6 diets for 4 wk: (1) semipurified basal diet (B) with 10% corn oil, 21.6% fat calories (FC), 14 g B diet/day; (2) B + 1 g of coconut oil (32% FC); (3) B + 1 g olive oil; (4) B + 1 g corn oil; (5) B + 2.25 g starch (18.7% FC); and (6) B + 2 g coconut oil (40% FC). Weight gain and nitrogen balance were higher (p < 0.;05) for supplemented diet groups. Serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels were not different (p > 0.05). It may be suggested that under restricted energy intake conditions (67% to 75% of the requirements) a high-fat diet (32% to 40% fat calories), including a diet rich in highly saturated coconut oil, can serve as a source of energy and contribute to improved nitrogen balance, without elevating blood cholesterol levels.     

注射级玉米卵磷脂对高脂饮食大鼠的降血脂作用

探究注射级玉米卵磷脂（CLFI）对高脂膳食诱导的大鼠的降血脂作用。将60 只雄性SD大鼠随机分为6 组,即空白对照组、高脂模型组、阳性对照组（1.2 g/kg大豆卵磷脂）和CLFI高（2.4 g/kg）、中（1.2 g/kg）和低（0.6 g/kg）剂量组。除空白对照组给予基础饲料外,其余各组均给予高脂饲料,喂养2 周后开始对阳性对照组和CLFI各剂量组连续灌胃给药6 周,每天1 次。空白对照组和高脂模型组给予蒸馏水10 mL/kg。试验结束后考察大鼠血清血脂水平变化,检测大鼠体重、腹腔脂肪蓄积系数（AFC）、血清及肝脏中超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活力和丙二醛（MDA）水平等指标,并观察肝脏的组织形态变化。结果表明：CLFI能有效抑制高脂膳食诱导大鼠的体重增长,降低血清中甘油三酯（TG）、总胆固醇（TC）、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL-C）、MDA水平和动脉粥样硬化指数（AI）、血脂综合指数（LCI）,并且降低AFC和肝脏中MDA水平;此外,高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL-C）和SOD水平都有不同程度的提升,肝脏脂肪变性情况也得到改善。CLFI对高脂血症大鼠具有较好的降血脂和预防肝脏脂肪变性的作用,可为CLFI后续的开发和产业化应用提供一定的理论依据。     

Hypolipidemic Activity of Peony Seed Oil Rich in α‐Linolenic,is Mediated Through Inhibition of Lipogenesis and Upregulation of Fatty Acid β‐Oxidation

Peony seed oil (PSO) is a new resource food rich in α‐Linolenic Acid(ALA) (38.66%). The objective of this study was to assess the modulatory effect of PSO on lipid metabolism. Lard oil, safflower oil (SFO), and PSO were fed to wistar rats with 1% cholesterol in the diet for 60 d. Serum and liver lipids showed significant decrease in total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low density lipoprotein‐cholesterol (LDL‐C) levels in PSO fed rats compared to lard oil and SFO fed rats. ALA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), contents were significantly increased, whereas linoleic acid (LA), arachidonic acid (AA) levels decreased in serum and liver of PSO fed rats. Feeding PSO increased ALA level and decreased n‐6 to n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio. The hypolipidemic result of PSO indicated that PSO participated in the regulation of plasma lipid concentration and cholesterol metabolism in liver. The decreased expression of sterol regulatory element‐binding proteins 1C (SREBP‐1c), acetyl‐CoA carboxylase (ACC), and fatty acid synthase (FAS)‐reduced lipid synthesis; Activation of peroxisome proliferator–activator receptor (PPARα) accompanied by increase of uncoupling protein2 (UP2) and acyl‐CoA oxidase (AOX) stimulated lipid metabolism and exerted an antiobesity effect via increasing energy expenditure for prevention of obesity.     

Effect of interesterified dietary fat mixtures on various lipid indices and liver metal content of rats in fat-metabolism disturbance

Adult male and female Wistar rats were fed isoenergetically for a 6 week period with a lipogenic diet containing a 20% fat mixture which caused fat-metabolism disturbance. One group consumed the mixture of sunflower oil and lard in a ratio of 0.91 P/S, the other group the interesterified form of the same mixture. The linoleic acid content of the mixtures was 0.4%. The fat mixture of the third group's diet was adjusted with soya oil to a linoleic-acid content of 0.8%. The results were compared to the control data obtained in rats fed with a normal diet. The changes in various lipid indices of the serum and the liver and the levels of some metals in the liver were analysed. It was found that; in comparison to the control on the effect of the lipogenic diet the total lipid and cholesterol contents of the serum increased significantly in all groups (a significantly higher value being observed for the females than for the males) whereas the HDL-C content decreased.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
