Several studies have reported that feeding γ-linolenic acid (GLA) has resulted in no increase in arachidonic acid (AA) in
newborns. This result was ascribed to the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)-rich fish oil used in these formulas. Docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA) sources with only minor amounts of EPA are now available, thus the addition of GLA to infant formulas might be
considered an alternative to AA supplementation. Sixty-six premature infants were randomized to feeding one of four formulas
[ST: no GLA, no long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids; BO: 0.6% GLA (borage oil); BO + FOLOW: 0.6% GLA, 0.3% DHA, 0.06% EPA;
BO + FOHIGH: 0.6% GLA, 0.3% DHA, 0.2% EPA] or human milk (HM, nonrandomized) for 4 wk. Anthropometric measures and blood samples
were obtained at study entry and after 14 and 28 d. There were no significant differences between groups in anthropometric
measures, tocopherol, and retinol status at any of the studied time points. The AA content of plasma phospholipids was similar
between groups at study start and decreased significantly until day 28 in all formulafed groups, but not in the breast-fed
infants [ST: 6.6±0.2%, BO: 6.9±0.3%, BO + FOLOW: 6.9±0.4%, BO + FOHIGH: 6.7±0.2%, HM: 8.6±0.5%, where values are reported
as mean ±standard error; all formulas significantly different (P≤0.05) from HM]. There was no significant influence of GLA or fish oil addition to the diet. GLA had only a very limited effect
on AA status which was too small to obtain satisfactory concentrations (concentrations similar to breast-fed babies) under
the circumstances tested. The effect of GLA on AA is independent of the EPA and DHA content in the diet within the dose ranges
studied. 相似文献

Separation of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in fish oil by kinetic resolution using lipase 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The objective of this study was to investigate the use of lipases as catalysts for separating eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in fish oil by kinetic resolution. Transesterification of various fish oil triglycerides with
a stoichiometric amount of ethanol by immobilized Rhizomucor miehei lipase under anhydrous solvent-free conditions resulted in a good separation. When free fatty acids from the various fish
oils were directly esterified with ethanol under similar conditions, greatly improved results were obtained. By this modification,
complications related to regioselectivity of the lipase and nonhomogeneous distribution of EPA and DHA into the various positions
of the triglycerides were avoided. As an example, when tuna oil comprising 6% EPA and 23% DHA was transesterified with ethanol,
65% conversion into ethyl esters was obtained after 24 h. The residual glyceride mixture contained 49% DHA and 6% EPA (8:1),
with 90% DHA recovery into the glyceride mixture and 60% EPA recovery into the ethyl ester product. When the corresponding
tuna oil free fatty acids were directly esterified with ethanol, 68% conversion was obtained after only 8h. The residual free
fatty acids comprised 74% DHA and only 3% EPA (25:1). The recovery of both DHA into the residual free fatty acid fraction
and EPA into the ethyl ester product remained very high, 83 and 87%, respectively. 相似文献

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20∶5n−3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22∶6n−3) in free fatty acids (FFA) derived from saponified
menhaden oil were concentrated by the solubility differences of FFA-salts in organic solvent. FFA-salts were formed by adding
NaOH to a solution containing FFA. A Buchner funnel was used to separate solid phases from liquids containing FFA-salts. FFA
that are rich in EPA and DHA can be recovered from the liquid phase by the addition of 12 N HCl. The effects of reaction time,
the amount of NaOH, and solvent used on the concentration of EPA and DHA were systematically investigated. With a total volume
of 112 mL, made up of 1.85% 15 N NaOH, 88.1% acetone, and 10.0% FFA, a reaction temperature of 30°C, and a reaction time of
1 h, the resulting liquid phase contained 65.4 wt% EPA and DHA, with a corresponding yield of 41.5%. By replacing the acetone
with a mixture of 45% acetone and 55% acetonitrile and then storing the liquid phase at −70°C overnight, the content and yield
of EPA and DHA in the final liquid phase were 61.4 wt% and 66.2%, respectively. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate the use of lipases as catalysts for producing concentrates of eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from fish oil as an alternative to conventional chemical procedures. Transesterification
of fish oil with ethanol was conducted under anhydrous solvent-free conditions with a stoichiometric amount of ethanol. Among
the 17 lipases tested, the results showed that Pseudomonas lipases had the highest activity toward the saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids in the fish oil, much lower activity
toward EPA and DHA and, at the same time, good tolerance toward the anhydrous alcoholic conditions. With 10 wt% of lipase,
based on weight of the fish oil triacylglycerol substrate (15% EPA and 9% DHA initial content), a 50% conversion into ethyl
esters was obtained in 24 h at 20°C, in which time the bulk of the saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids reacted, leaving
the long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids unreacted in the residual mixture as mono-, di-, and triacylglycerols. This
mixture comprised approximately 50% EPA+DHA. Total recovery of DHA and EPA was high, over 80% for DHA and more than 90% for
EPA. The observed fatty acid selectivity, favoring DHA as a substrate, was most unusual because most lipases favor EPA. 相似文献

It was of interest to investigate the influence of both high doses of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and low doses of 2-or 3-methylated
EPA on the antioxidant status, as they all cause hypolipidemia, but the dose required is quite different. We fed low doses
(250 mg/d/kg body wt) of different EPA derivatives or high doses (1500 mg/d/kg body wt) of EPA and DHA to rats for 5 and 7
d, respectively. The most potent hypolipidemic EPA derivative, 2,2-dimethyl-EPA, did not change the malondialdehyde content
in liver or plasma. Plasma vitamin E decreased only after supplementation of those EPA derivatives that caused the greatest
increase in the fatty acyl-CoA oxidase activity. Fatty acyl-CoA oxidase activity increased after administration of both EPA
and DHA at high doses. High doses of EPA and DHA decreased plasma vitamin E content, whereas only DHA elevated lipid peroxidation.
In liver, however, both EPA and DHA increased lipid peroxidation, but the hepatic level of vitamin E was unchanged. The glutathione-requiring
enzymes and the glutathione level were unaffected, and no significant changes in the activities of xanthine oxidase and superoxide
dismutase were observed in either low-or high-dose experiments. In conclusion, increased peroxisomal β-oxidation in combination
with high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids caused elevated lipid peroxidation. At low doses of polyunsaturated fatty
acids, lipid peroxidation was unchanged, in spite of increased peroxisomal β-oxidation, indicating that polyunsaturation is
the most important factor for lipid peroxidation. 相似文献

Concentrates of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were heated at 140–240 °C for 2–8 h under nitrogen. The trans isomers were analysed by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry on a BPX‐70 cyanopropyl column. All geometrical isomers of EPA and DHA with one trans double bond were observed. The rate constants (k) for the isomerisation of the all‐cis isomers were calculated and found to be higher than previously reported for linoleic acid and α‐linolenic acid. Arrhenius plots showed a linear relationship between ln k and the reciprocal absolute temperature above 180 °C. The distribution patterns of isomers with one trans double bond are approximately constant up to a degree of isomerisation of 25%. The degree of isomerisation can therefore be estimated from selected trans peaks. 相似文献

Rats were fed a diet supplemented with corn oil (n-3 deficient), soy oil, or a mixture containing 8% 22∶6n-3 ethyl ester for
6 wk. The hepatic capacities for the β-oxidation and synthesis of 22∶6n-3, in addition to the acylation of lysophosphatidate,
were tested in vitro. In rats that were fed a 22∶6n-3-enriched diet, both the β-oxidation of 22∶6n-3 and elongation of 20∶5n-3 were enhanced compared
to those in rats fed the other diets. Acylation of lysophosphatidate was also enhanced in rats fed a 22∶6n-3-enriched diet,
while the rate of dephosphorylation of phosphatidate was not changed. The amount of 22∶6n-3 in the liver was much less than
that consumed in a docosahexaenoic acid-enriched diet. These results suggest that a significant amount of dietary 22∶6n-3
was degraded via β-oxidation, and that a portion of the retroconverted 20∶5n-3 was recycled for the synthesis of 22∶6n-3. The recycling of
20∶5n-3 might contribute to the low level of 22∶6n-3 in rats fed an n-3-deficient diet. 相似文献

Following intraperitoneal injection of methyl linolenate-1-C14 into kelp bass,Paralablax clathratus, the highly polyunsaturated fatty acids of their body fats were concentrated by low temperature crystallization from acetone,
and eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids were isolated from the concentrate by reversed-phase chromatography and hydrogenated.
The resulting arachidic and behenic acids were degraded stepwise to margaric acid, and the distribution of activity was determined.
The results indicate that the injected linolenic acid was converted to eicosapentaenoic acid and the latter incorporated into
docosahexaenoic acid. A probable conversion pathway is linolenic acid→6,9,12,15-octadecatetraenoic acid→8,11,14,17-eicosatetraenoic
acid→5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid→7,10,13,16,-19-docosapentaenoic acid→4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic acid.

Docosahexaenoic acid (22∶6n−3) can be synthesized in the liver and/or brain from α-linolenic acid (18∶3n−3) and is required
in large amounts in structural membranes of developing brain and retina. The adequacy and efficacy of formulas containing
18∶3n−3 and/or fish oil in providing 22∶6n−3 for deposition was investigated in piglets fed formula from birth to 15 days.
The test formulas contained high (HL) or low (LL) 18∶3n−3 (3.9 or 0.7% of the total formula fatty acids, respectively), or
low 18∶3n−3 plus fish oil (LL+FO) to provide C20 and C22 n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (0.8% of total fatty acids). Fatty acid analyses of synaptic plasma membrane and retina ethanolamine
phospholipids (EPL), which are especially enriched in 22∶6n−3, were compared to those of 15-day-old piglets fed sow milk (SM).
Feeding LL resulted in lower 22∶6n−3 in synaptic plasma membrane. Fatty acid levels in HL and LL+FO piglets were equivalent
to SM, with the exception of lower 22∶5n−3 in the synaptic plasma membrane of LL+FO and in the retina of HL and LL+FO-fed
piglets. Levels of 22∶4n−6 were also lower in the retina of the LL+FO group. The results suggest formula 18∶3n−3 is at least
24% as effective as C20 and C22 n−3 fatty acids as a source of membrane 22∶6n−3. This study shows dietary 18∶3n−3, as the only n−3 fatty acid, can support
deposition of comparable percentage of 22∶6n−3 to natural milk. Fish oil also supported tissue levels of 22∶6n−3 similar to
natural milk; however, lower 22∶4n−6 may indicate possible inhibitory effects on n−6 metabolism.

In rhesus monkeys, maternal n-3 fatty acid deficiency during pregnancy produces infant monkeys deficient in n-3 fatty acids
at birth. These results stimulated current experiments to find out if n-3 fatty acids from fish in the diets of pregnant women
would influence the concentration of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 n-3) in the newborn human infant.
Fifteen healthy pregnant women were enrolled to receive a 9-wk dietary supplementation of n-3 fatty acids from the 26th to
the 35th wk of pregnancy. Sixteen pregnant women were not supplemented and served as controls. n-3 Fatty acid supplementation
consisted of sardines and additional fish oil, which provided a total of 2.6 g of n-3 fatty acids per day (d) for the 9-wk
period of supplementation. This included 1.01 g DHA.
The end point of this study was the blood concentrations of DHA in the newborn infant. DHA in maternal red blood cells increased
from 4.69% of total fatty acids to 7.15% at the end of the supplement period and at the time of delivery decreased (as expected)
to 5.97% of total fatty acids. Maternal plasma showed a similar change from 2.12 to 3.51% of total fatty acids and then decreased
to 2.35%. Levels of DHA in plasma and red blood cells of unsupplemented mothers did not change during the same time period.
Levels of DHA in blood of newborn infants differed greatly in infants born from n-3-supplemented mothers compared with control
infants. In red blood cells, DHA was 7.92% of total fatty acids compared with 5.86% (control infants). Plasma values showed
a similar difference: 5.05% vs. 3.47% (controls). In n-3-supplemented infants, DHA concentrations were 35.2% higher than in
control infants in red blood cells and 45.5% higher in plasma.
These data indicate the importance of maternal dietary n-3 fatty acids and, in particular, maternal dietary DHA in promoting
higher concentrations of DHA in the blood of the newborn infant. 相似文献

Adult male rats were surgically given a drainage catheter in the main mesenteric lymph duct. After an overnight fast, five
groups of rats received intragastrically, in one bolus, butter, corn oil (CO), cod liver oil (CLO), menhaden oil (MO), or
ethyl esters of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids (K80). Intestinal lymph was collected in these conscious
animals, each hour during the first 6 h and in a single sample for the next 18 h. The absorption peak appeared earlier after
MO and CO than after CLO administration. The quantities of triglycerides recovered during the first 6 h were significantly
lower after butter (91 mg) and K80 (54 mg) administration than for the other three oils. No difference was observed between
the vegetable oil and the two marine oils (CO=173 mg, CLO=148 mg, MO=180 mg). The total triglyceride recovered in 24 h was
highest after CLO (410 mg) and lowest with K80 (146 mg). An increase in the weight percentage of some characteristic fatty
acids of the lipid mixtures was observed: oleic acid for butter, oleic and linoleic acids for CO, EPA and DHA for CLO, MO,
and K80. Chylomicrons were the largest with CO, more numerous and smaller with CLO, and the smallest with K80. Results obtained
illustrated the relation between gastrointestinal hydrolysis, enterocyte biochemical events, and lymph triglyceride absorption
profiles as related to the composition and distribution of triglyceride fatty acids. 相似文献

The fractional conversion rates of plasma phospholipid α-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) and linoleic acid (18:2n-6) to docosahexaenoic
acid (22:6n-3) and arachidonic acid (20:4n-6), respectively, and the fractional rates of incorporation of 22:6n-3 and 20:4n-6
into plasma phospholipids were determined in 27 healthy 3-wk-old term infants who had received formulas with ≈16% of fat as
18:2n-6 and 0.4% (n=6), 1.0% (n=11), or 3.2% (n=10) as 18:3n-3 from birth. The infants were given a single dose of both [U-13C] 18:2n-6 and [U-13C]18:3n-3 with a feeding, and blood samples were collected 8, 12, and 24 h afterward for determination of the isotopic enrichments
of the [M+18] isotopomers of plasma phospholipid fatty acids by negative chemical ionization gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
A simple precursor/product compartmental model was used to estimate fractional rates of conversion and incorporation. All
infants converted 18:3n-3 to 22:6n-3 and 18:2n-6 to 20:4n-6. Although the fractional rate of conversion of 18:3n-3 to 22:6n-3
did not differ among groups, the fractional rate of incorporation of 22:6n-3 into the plasma phospholipid fraction was greater
in infants who received 3.2% vs. 0.4% or 1.0% 18:3n-3 (4.1±2.2 vs 1.6±1.5 or 2.0±1.0% of the plasma phospholipid 22:6n-3 pool
daily). The fractional rate of conversion of 18:2n-6 to 20:4n-6 was less in infants who received the 3.2% 18:3n-3 intake (0.4±0.3%
of the plasma phospholipid 18:2n-6 pool daily vs. 1.1±0.7% and 0.8±0.5% in those who received 0.4 and 1.0% 18:3n-3, respectively).
The fractional rate of incorporation of 20:4n-6 into plasma phospholipid also was less in the 3.2% vs. the 0.4 and 1.0% 18:3n-3
groups (2.7±1.4% vs. 5.9±2.6 and 4.4±1.7%, respectively, of the plasma phospholipid 20:4n-6 pool daily). 相似文献

Monotrans geometrical isomers of 20∶5 n−3 and 22∶6 n−3 were detected in liver lipid of rats fed heated linseed oil. The isomers were
identified as being 20∶5 δ5c, 8c, 11c, 14c, 17t and 22∶6 δ4c, 7c, 10c, 13c, 16c, 19t. These fatty acids were isolated as methyl esters by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on reversed
phase columns followed by silver nitrate thin layer chromatography (AgNO3-TLC). The structures were identified using partial hydrazine reduction, AgNO3-TLC of the resulting monoenes, oxidative ozonolysis of each monoene band, and gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) of the resulting
dimethyl esters and monomethyl esters. Fourier-transform-infrared spectrometry confirmed thetrans geometry in isolated 20∶5 and 22∶6 isomers. The isomers of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids in liver lipids probably
resulted from desaturation and elongation of 18∶3 δ9c, 12c, 15t, a geometrical isomer of linolenic acid present in the heated dietary oil. 相似文献

The metabolism of α-linolenic acid from canola oil was studied in eight normolipidemic men. The 42-day study was divided into
three periods: a 6-day pre-experimental and two 18-day experimental. Approximately 75% of the dietary fat (28% of total energy)
was provided by a mixture of fats during the pre-experimental period and either canola oil (CO) or sunflower oil (SO) during
the experimental periods. The CO and SO diets were fed in a cross-over design. The ratios of linoleic to linolenic acid were
2.6∶1 and 73.9∶1 in the CO and SO diets, respectively. Dietary fat source had an effect on plasma phospholipid fatty acids:
18∶1n−9, 18∶3n−3 and 20∶5n−3 were higher (p<0.05), and 18∶2n−6 was lower in the phosphatidylcholine fraction; 18∶1n−9 was
higher and 20∶4n−6 lower in the phosphatidyl-ethanolamine fraction; and 18∶1n−9 and 20∶5n−3 were higher and 20∶4n−6 and 22∶6n−3
were lower in the alkenylacyl-ethanolamine phospholipid fraction on the CO diet as compared to the SO diet. Consumption of
the canola oil diet resulted in higher n−3 fatty acid levels and lower n−6 fatty acid levels in plasma phospholipids than
consumption of the sunflower oil diet. 相似文献

Differential utilization of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in human plasma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
It has recently been shown that the ω3 fatty acid status in humans can be predicted by the concentration of eicosapentaenoic
(EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids in plasma phospholipids [Bjerve, K.S., Brubakk, A.M., Fougner, K.J., Johnsen, H., Midjthell,
K., and Vik, T. (1993)Am. J. Clin. Nutr., in press]. In countries with low intake of ω3 fatty acids, the level of EPA in plasma phospholipids is often only about
one-fifth the concentration of DHA. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether this difference in the concentration
of these two fatty acids was due to a selective loss of EPA relative to DHA or to a lower dietary intake of EPA. Seven female
volunteers ingested four grams of MaxEPA daily for 2 wk and in the following 4 wk they ate a diet almost completely devoid
of the long-chain ω3 fatty acids. The concentrations of the ω3 fatty acids in the plasma cholesteryl esters, triglycerides
and phospholipids and the high density lipoprotein phospholipids were examined at weekly intervals throughout the study. There
was a more rapid rise in the concentration of EPA than in DHA levels in the supplementation period in all lipid fractions,
but there was a disproportionate rise in DHA relative to EPA in the plasma lipids compared with the ratio in the supplement.
In the depletion phase there was a rapid disappearance of EPA from all fractions, such that pre-trial levels were reached
by one week post-supplementation. The disappearance of DHA was slower, particularly for the plasma phospholipids: at 4 wk
post-supplementation, the DHA concentration in this fraction was still 40% above the pre-trial value. It is suggested that
the low plasma EPA values relative to DHA are the result of increased β-oxidation of EPA and/or low dietary intake, rather
than a rapid conversion of EPA to DHA. One practical result of this experiment is that, compared with DHA, the maintenance
of increased EPA levels in plasma (and therefore tissues) would require constant inputs of EPA due to its more rapid loss
from the plasma. 相似文献

There is a significant interest in the interrelationship between long-chain n-3, and n-6 fatty acids due to their ability
to modulate eicosanoid production. In general, the intake of arachidonic acid (AA) results in enhanced eicosanoid production,
whereas n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) decrease the production of eicosanoids from AA. The purpose of this study was
to investigate whether the effects of dietary AA on eicosanoid production in the rat were correlated with the AA and EPA levels
in platelets and aorta (eicosanoid-producing tissues). Four groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a highfat diet enriched
with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (approximately 100 mg/day of EPA+DHA) for 24 d. During the
last 10 d, the four groups were orally supplemented with 0,30,60, and 90 mg/day of ethyl arachidonate. A further group of
rats was fed a control diet (without longchain n-3 PUFA) for 24 d.In vitro aorta prostacyclin (PGI2) production, serum thromboxane A2 (TxA2) production and plasma, and platelet and aorta phospholipid (PL) fatty acids were measured. Enriching the diet with n-3 PUFA
resulted in significant reductions in tissue AA levels and an increase in the n-3 PUFA, particularly EPA. On this diet, the
AA to EPA ratio was 1:1 in platelet PL, and it was 2:1 in the aorta PL. There were significant decreases in thein vitro PGI2 and TxA2 production compared with the control animals. The inclusion of AA in the diet resulted in marked increases in AA levels in
the platelet and aorta PL with corresponding decreases in EPA. The lowest dose of AA (30 mg/rat) reversed the effects of 100
mg/day of n-3 PUFA on AA levels in platelet and aortic PL and onin vitro aorta PGI2 and serum TxA2 production. The dietary AA caused a differential (twofold) increase in TxA2 relative to PGI2 for all three levels of AA supplementation. There were greater changes in the levels of AA and/or EPA in platelet PL compared
with the aorta PL, which might have accounted for the differential effects of these PUFA on thromboxane production compared
with PGI2 production in this study. 相似文献

The influence of low dietary doses (0.1 and 0.8% w/w) of a commercial fish oil preparation on peroxisomes in normal mice was
studied and compared to the known strong inductive effects of high (10%) fish oil diets. Low fish oil doses were chosen to
supply the mice with a concentration of docosahexaenoic acid, which was beneficial to patients with a peroxisomal disease.
Peroxisomes were evaluated by cytochemical, morphometric, and enzymological techniques. The 0.1% fish oil diet had no effect
on peroxisomes in liver, heart, and kidney even after prolonged treatment. The 0.8% diet did not change the peroxisomal number
nor the catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) activity in the liver. Hepatic peroxisomal β-oxidation, however, was increased by 50% after
14 d. This was accompanied by reduced peroxisomal size. The 0.8% diet also caused a small increase (+25%) in myocardial catalase
activity. No effect was observed in kidneys. Our results indicate that in mice a low (<0.8%) dietary fish oil dose has no
or only a slight effect on hepatic peroxisomal β-oxidation. This may be of particular interest to patients with a peroxisomal
fatty acid β-oxidation defect and who display a severe deficiency of docosahexaenoic acid—diets supplemented with low fish
oil doses will improve the docosahexaenoic acid level without adding a strong load to the disturbed fatty acid metabolism. 相似文献

There is a need to determine whether there is a dietary requirement for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) by term infants
to achieve their full developmental potential. Studies of brain fatty acid composition demonstrated that infants who were
breast fed had greater levels of cerebral cortex DHA than did infants who were formula fed, suggesting that DHA in the cerebrum
is dependent on a supply in the diet. Some physiological studies reported that electrophysiological and behavioral assessments
of visual function were improved in breast-fed infants relative to those fed formula and that this was related to the length
of breast feeding. While some randomized studies of DHA supplementation of infant formula to term infants demonstrated that
the visual function of formula-fed infants could be improved to breast-fed levels by adding DHA to formula, others failed
to demonstrate an effect. Variations in dietary treatments and methods of assessment make comparison of the studies difficult.
Further work is necessary to rigorously establish if there are long-term benefits of dietary DHA to the term infant. 相似文献

Specific susceptibility of docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid to peroxidation in aqueous solution 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The peroxidation of different polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) after photoirradiation in aqueous solution was evaluated
by measuring fatty acid loss and malonaldehyde production in medium. The oxidation rates of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), two highly unsaturated fatty acids of the n−3 series, were surprisingly lower (14 and 22%, respectively)
than the oxidation rates of linoleic, α-linolenic, γ-linolenic, dihomo γ-linolenic, and arachidonic acids (62–90%). The quantities
of malonaldehyde (MA) produced were assayed simultaneously by gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC). MA production was found to be related to both the degree of unsaturation and the metabolic series of the fatty acid.
The maximum value was observed with arachidonic acid (MA production from 2 mM arachidonic acid in aqueous solution was estimated
at 44.9±6.0 μM by GC and 46.8 ±4.0 μM by HPLC). Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid produced lower MA quantities
compared to arachidonic acid (MA production from 2 mM EPA and 2 mM DHA was estimated at 17.9±1.5 μM and 37.9±0.7 μM, respectively,
by GC, and 26.3±4.9 μM and 37.3±4.2 μM, respectively, by HPLC). The MA yield, defined as the amount of MA (nmols) produced
per 100 nanomoles of oxidized fatty acid, was used to express the susceptibility of individual PUFA to peroxidation. The MA
yield correlated well with the degree of unsaturation, but was independent of carbon chain length and metabolic series. The
study suggests that adequate assessment of lipid peroxidation cannot be achieved by measuring MA formation alone, but it also
requires knowledge of the fatty acid composition of the system studied. 相似文献

The utilization of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n−3) as a source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n−3) via retroconversion was investigated in both vegetarians and omnivores. For this purpose, an EPA-free preparation of DHA was
given as a daily supplement (1.62 g DHA) over a period of 6 wk. The dietary supplement provided for a marked increase in DHA
levels in both serum phospholipid (from 2.1 to 7.1 mol% in vegetarians and 2.2 to 7.6 mol% in omnivores) and platelet phospholipid
(from 1.1 to 3.4 mol% in vegetarians and 1.4 to 3.9 mol% in omnivores). EPA levels rose to a significant but much lesser extent,
while 20:4n−6, 22:5n−6, and 22:5n−3 all decreased. Based on the serum phospholipid data, the retroconversion of DHA to EPA
in vivo was estimated to be 9.4% overall with no significant difference between omnivores and vegetarians. 相似文献
