Acyl-CoA:lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT; EC 2.3.1.23) catalyzes the acyl-CoA-dependent acylation of lysophosphatidylcholine
(LPC) to produce PC and CoA. LPCAT activity may affect the incorporation of fatty acyl moieties at the sn-2 position of PC where PUFA are formed and may indirectly influence seed TAG composition. LPCAT activity in microsomes prepared
from microspore-derived cell suspension cultures of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L. cv Jet Neuf) was assayed using [1-14C]acyl-CoA as the fatty acyl donor. LPCAT activity was optimal at neutral pH and 35°C, and was inhibited by 50% at a BSA concentration
of 3 mg mL−1. At acyl-CoA concentrations above 20 μM, LPCAT activity was more specific for oleoyl (18∶1)-CoA than stearoyl (18∶0)- and
palmitoyl (16∶0)-CoA. Lauroyl (12∶0)-CoA, however, was not an effective acyl donor. LPC species containing 12∶0, 16∶0, 18∶0,
or 18∶1 as the fatty acyl moiety all served as effective acyl acceptors for LPCAT, although 12∶0-LPC was somewhat less effective
as a substrate at lower concentrations. The failure of LPCAT to catalyze the incorporation of a 12∶0 moiety from acyl-CoA
into PC is consistent with the tendency of acyltransferases to discriminate against incorporation of this fatty acyl moiety
at the sn-2 position of TAG from the seed oil of transgenic B. napus expressing a medium-chain thioesterase. 相似文献

The fatty acid composition of individual phospholipids in subcellular fractions of sheep platelets and the asymmetrical distribution
of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) fatty acyl chains across the plasma membrane were examined. The main fatty acids of total
lipid extracts were oleic (18∶1; 32–41%), linoleic (18∶2, 10–17%), stearic (18∶0; 13–15%), palmitic (16∶0; 11–15%) and arachidonic
(20∶4; 8–12%) acids, with a saturated/unsaturated ratio of about 0.4. Each phospholipid class had a distinct fatty acid pattern.
Sphingomyelin (SM) showed the highest degree of saturation (50%), with large proportions of behenic (22∶0), 18∶0 and 16∶0
acids. The main fatty acid in PE, phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) was 18∶1n−9. Our findings suggest that
fatty acids are asymmetrically distributed between thecholineversus the non-choline phospholipids, and also between plasma membranes and intracellular membranes. The transbilayer distribution
of PE fatty acids in plasma membranes from non-stimulated sheep platelets was investigated using trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid
(TNBS). A significant degree of asymmetry was found, which is a new observation in a non-polar cell. The PE molecules from
the inner monolayer contained higher amounts of 18∶2 and significantly less 18∶1 and 20∶5 than those found in the outer monolayer,
although no major differences were detected in the transbilayer distribution of total unsaturatedversus saturated PE acyl chains. 相似文献

The neutral and polar lipid composition ofEntomophthora coronata was determined qualitatively. The fungus was grown on a chemically nondefined medium (Sabouraud dextrose yeast extract) and
a chemically defined medium for a period up to 26 days. The lipids were characterized by thin-layer, column, gas chromatography,
and selective sprays,32P-labeling, and mass spectrometry. The neutral lipids consist of monoglycerides, diglycerides, cholesterol, free fatty acids,
triglycerides, and cholesteryl esters. The polar lipids consist of phospholipids (phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl
choline, lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine, lysophosphatidyl choline, and spingomyelin), a number of glycolipids including cerebrosides,
and many unrecognizable lipids, most of which are present in trace amounts. The cerebrosides and spingomyelin are present
in significant amounts, and their concentration increased with age of the culture. The major fatty acids (>10%) of the total,
neutral, and polar lipids of the mycelia are 14∶0, 16∶0, 18∶1, 18∶3(γ), and 24∶1. The polar lipids of total culture (unsaturation
index 0.88) and of the conidia (unsaturation index 1.48) are considerably more unsaturated than the corresponding neutral
lipids (unsaturated index 0.50 and 0.49). The mycelial polar lipids, compared to the neutral lipids, possess less 14∶0 and
18∶1 but contain a greater percentage of 16∶0, 18∶2, 18∶3(γ), 24∶0, and 24∶1. The major fatty acid of the conidia (>10%) are
13∶0, 14∶0, 18∶1, 18∶2, 18∶3(γ), and 20∶4. Their polar lipids have a higher proportion of 18∶2, 18∶3(γ), and 20∶4. The cerebrosides
possess 24.1 in high relative proportion (30.1%).

The lipids of liver mitochondria prepared from normal rats and from rats made hypothyroid by thyroidectomy and injection with131INa contained similar amounts, per mg protein, of total lipids, phospholipids, neutral lipids and lipid phosphorus. Hypothyroidism
caused a doubling of the relative amounts of mitochondrial cardiolipins (CL; to 20.5% of the phospholipid P) and an accompanying
trend (although statistically not significant) toward decreased amounts of both phosphatidylcholines (PC) and phosphatidylserines
(PS), with phosphatidylethanolamines (PE) remaining unchanged. The pattern of elevated 18∶2 fatty acyl content and depleted
20∶4 acyl groups of the mitochondrial phospholipids of hypothyroid preparations was reflected to varying degrees in the resolved
phospholipids, with PC showing greater degrees of abnormality than PE, and CL showing none. Hypothyroidism produced the same
abnormal pattern of fatty acyl distributions in liver microsomal total lipids as was found in the mitochondria. Hypothyroid
rats, when killed 6 hr after injection of [1-14C] labeled linoleate, showed the following abnormalities: the liver incorporated less label into lipids, and converted 18∶2
not exclusively to 20∶4 (as normals do) but instead incorporated the label mainly into saturated fatty acids. These data,
together with the known decrease in β-oxidation, suggest that hypothyroidism involves possible defective step(s) in the conversion
of 18∶2 to 20∶4.

The occurrence of glycosphingolipids with unique carbohydrate structures in different species of cestode, Platyhelminth, which
had been shown, previously, prompted us to study the molecular species of the monohexosylceramides (cerebrosides) in the pseudophyllidean
cestode,Spirometra erinacei. The purpose of the study was to obtain a basis for future investigations of the physiological role of glycolipids in parasitism.
Cerebrosides were isolated froms. erinacei at two growth stages, i.e., from the larval form (plerocercoid) and from the adult tapeworms (intestinal form). The cerebrosides
were separated into four subfractions by silica gel column chromatography, and their constituents were analyzed by gasliquid
chromatography, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. The hexoses
of the cerebrosides consisted primarily of galactose in both growth stages, while only a small amount of glucose was detected.
The ceramides were composed of sphinganine (d18∶0) and phytosphingosine (t18∶0) as sphingoid bases, and of nonhydroxy fatty
acids ranging from C16 to C30 and hydroxy stearic acid (18h∶0). The cerebrosides of adult tapeworms contained more 18h∶0 than those of plerocercoids. The
combination of hexoses and ceramides in the cerebroside molecules was slightly different in the two growth stages: the glucocerebrosides
of plerocercoids contained only d18∶0-nonhydroxy fatty acids in their ceramide moieties, whereas those of adult tapeworms
contained varying ceramide moieties. Our data indicate that the molecular species of glycolipids present were essentially
homeostatic throughout growth in spite of the entirely different environmental conditions, although there were slight differences
in the hexose distribution in the two growth stages. 相似文献

The lipid composition of the pineal organ from the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was determined to establish whether the involvement of this organ in the control of circadian rhythms is reflected by specific
adaptations of lipid composition. Lipid comprised 4.9% of the tissue wet weight and triacylglycerols were the major lipid
class present (47% of total lipid). Phosphatidylcholine (PC) was the principal polar lipid, and smaller proportions of other
phospholipids and cholesterol were also present. Plasmalogens contributed 11% of the ethanolamine glycerophospholipids (EGP).
No cerebrosides were detected. The fatty acid composition of triacylglycerols was generally similar to that of total lipids
in which saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were present in almost equal proportions. Each
of the polar lipid classes had a specific fatty acid composition. With the exception of phosphatidylinositol (PI), in which
20∶4n−6 comprised 27.4% of the total fatty acids, 22∶6n−3 was the principal PUFA in all lipid classes. The proportion of 20∶5n−3
never exceeded 6.0% of the fatty acids in any lipid class. The predominant molecular species of PC were 16∶0/22∶6n−3 and 16∶0/18∶1,
which accounted for 33.2 and 28.5%, respectively, of the total molecular species of this phospholipid. Phosphatidylethanolamine
(PE) contained the highest level of di-22∶6n−3 (13.0%) of any phospholipid. There was also 4.9% of this molecular species
in phosphatidylserine (PS) and 4.1% in PC. In PE, the species 16∶0/22∶6, 18∶1/22∶6 and 18∶0/22∶6 totalled 45.1%, while in
PS 18∶0/22∶6 accounted for 43.9% of the total molecular species. The most abundant molecular species of PI was 18∶0/20∶4n−6
(37.8%). The lipid composition of the pineal organ of trout, and particularly the molecular species composition of PI, is
more similar to the composition of the retina than that of the brain.
Molecular species are abbreviated as follows: e.g., 16∶0/22∶6 PC is 1-palmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. 相似文献

The sn-position of FA in membrane lipids has an influence on the physiological function of cells, is predictive for diseases, and
therefore is useful for diagnostics. The current study compares the compositions of acyl chain substituents in the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of the glycerol backbones of phospholipids derived from human erythrocytes by using RP-HPLC coupled with on-line
electrospray ionization ion trap MS. Preferential loss of the acyl group in the sn-1 position was used to determine the degree of regiospecific preference exhibited by the phospholipid molecules. The identities
of the molecular species and the positions of the acyl substituents were identified using product-ion spectra of major precursor
ions selected from the mass spectra averaged across peaks in the total ion chromatogram. Saturated FA were found to be located
mainly in the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbones of erythrocyte phospholipids, whereas PUFA were found primarily in the sn-2 position. All measured phospholipids revealed palmitic acid (16∶0) at the sn-1 position. Linoleic acid (18∶2n−6) and arachidonic acid (20∶4n−6) were found to be attached exclusively to the sn-2 position of the backbone, whereas eicosadienoic (20∶2n−6) and eicosatrienoic acid (20∶3n−9) occurred in both positions
of the backbone of PC. Oleic (18∶1n−9), linoleic (18∶2n−6), and octadecatrienoic (18∶3) acids of PE and PS were linked to
both positions. Lignoceric acid (24∶1n−9) was found to be strictly localized at the sn-2 position, whereas nervonic (24∶1n−9) acid of PS was associated with both positions of the backbone. A detailed analysis
of the blood cell membrane lipids by MS might be helpful to characterize postprandial kinetics of pharmacological or dietary
lipid applications, as well as environmental influences on cell membranes. 相似文献

The effects of the mixedcis- 18∶1 isomers and mixedtrans-18∶1 isomers present in partially hydrogenated soybean oil (PHSO) upon the patterns of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)
in liver phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) were studied in rats fed concentrates ofcis- 18∶1 ortrans- 18∶1 isomers isolated as triacylglycerides from PHSO. Thecis- 18∶1 andtrans- 18∶1 concentrates were fed at levels equal to those present in PHSO fed at 17.9% of the diet. All diets contained the required
amounts of both linoleic and linolenic acids. Thetrans- 18∶1 concentrate was found to suppress the levels of 20∶4ω6 and 20∶3ω9, and to increase the levels of 18∶2ω6 and 20∶5ω3
in PC and PE. Thecis- 18∶1 concentrate suppressed 20∶4ω6 in PC, 20∶5ω3 in PC and PE, and 18∶2ω6 was more effective than thetrans concentrate in suppressing 22∶6ω3. Thetrans- 18∶1 concentrate was more effective in suppressing 20∶4ω6. Thetrans-18∶ isomers appear to modify PUFA metabolism by inhibition of PUFA synthesis, whereas thecis- 18∶1isomers appear to compete with 2-position fatty acyl transfer and to inhibit ω3 PUFA acylation. 相似文献

Thein vitro incorporation of elongated fatty acyl products into various lipid classes was studied in the American cockroach,Periplaneta americana (L.) and the houseflyMusca domestica L. Stearoyl-CoA (18∶0-CoA) and linoleoyl-CoA (18∶2-CoA) were each elongated in microsomal preparations from abdominal epidermal
tissue of the adult cockroach. Incorporation of radioactive tracer into different lipid classes was determined by thin-layer
chromatography (TLC). In the American cockroach, 40–45% of the total radioactive label was incorporated into the free fatty
acid fraction, with smaller amounts in the triglyceride (12–31%) and phospholipid (12–19%) fractions. Of the elongated products
analyzed by radio-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), 53–60% was found in the free fatty acid fraction. In the
housefly, the substrates 18∶0-CoA and 18∶1-CoA were used to determine into which lipids the elongated products would become
incorporated. The saturated fatty acyl elongated products were found mainly in the free fatty acid (41%), triglyceride (23%),
and acyl-CoA (17%) fractions. The monounsaturated fatty acyl elongated products were found in the triglyceride (44%), free
fatty acid (11%), acyl-CoA (35%) and phospholipid (10%) fractions in three-day-old males. In three-day-old females, the elongated
products were found in the triglyceride (45%), free fatty acid (28%), acyl-CoA (11%) and phospholipid (15%) fractions. From
these data, it is not possible to determine the identity of the substrate for the conversion of the elongated fatty acyl products
to the corresponding hydrocarbon (Hy). In the cockroach, incubations with 18∶0-CoA and with 18∶2-CoA resulted in small incorporations
into 25∶0 Hy and into 27∶2 Hy, respectively. In the housefly, incubations with 18∶1-CoA resulted in a very small production
of 27∶1 Hy in mature males and 23∶1 Hy in mature female houseflies. These data support the idea that the preparation of subcellular
fractions results in an uncoupling of fatty acid chain elongation from the conversion of the fatty acid to the corresponding
hydrocarbon in both insects. 相似文献

Lipids from bovine optic nerve were analyzed. The total content of 16.5% by weight included 27.2% nonpolar lipids, 26.1% glycolipids,
and 46.7% phospholipids by weight. Free cholesterol was the major component of the nonpolar lipid fraction. The cerebrosides,
73.5% of total glycolipids, were separated by thin layer chromatography (TLC) into two bands (upper and lower) that were present
in equal proportion. Cerebroside sulfates comprised about 27.5% of total glycolipids. Gangliosides were also detected in the
glycolipid fraction. In order of predominance, choline glycerophospholipids, ethanolamine glycerophospholipids, ethanolamine
plasmalogens, serine glycerophospholipids, sphingomyelins, and inositol glycerophospholipids were the major phospholipids.
Palmitoyl (16∶0), stearoyl (18∶0), and oleoyl (18∶1) groups were the major acyl groups in all neutral and phospholipid classes.
However, ethanolamine glycerophospholipids, serine glycerophospholipids, and inositol glycerophospholipids contained a large
percentage of 22∶6 (docosahexaenoyl) group. The major alk-1-enyl groups of the plasmalogens were 16∶0, 18∶0, and 18∶1. Steroyl
(18∶0), lignoceroyl (24∶0), and nervonoyl (24∶1) were the major acyl groups in all sphingolipids. Lower cerebroside band and
cerebroside sulfates contained large amount of hydroxylignoceroyl (cerebronoyl) and hydroxynervonoyl groups.

Liver nuclear incorporation of stearic (18∶0), linoleic (18∶2n−6), and arachidonic (20∶4n−6) acids was studied by incubation
in vitro of the [1-14C] fatty acids with nuclei, with or without the cytosol fraction at different times. The [1-14C] fatty acids were incorporated into the nuclei as free fatty acids in the following order: 18∶0>20∶4n−6≫18∶2n−6, and esterified
into nuclear lipids by an acyl-CoA pathway. All [1-14C] fatty acids were esterified mainly to phospholipids and triacylglycerols and in a minor proportion to diacylglycerols.
Only [1-14C] 18∶2n−6-CoA was incorporated into cholesterol esters. The incorporation was not modified by cytosol addition. The incorporation
of 20∶4n−6 into nuclear phosphatidylcholine (PC) pools was also studied by incubation of liver nuclei in vitro with [1-14C]20∶4n−6-CoA, and nuclear labeled PC molecular species were determined. From the 15 PC nuclear molecular species determined,
five were labeled with [1-14C]20∶4n−6-CoA: 18∶0–20∶4, 16∶0–20∶4, 18∶1–20∶4, 18∶2–20∶4, and 20∶4–20∶4. The highest specific radioactivity was found in
20∶4–20∶4 PC, which is a minor species. In conclusion, liver cell nuclei possess the necessary enzymes to incorporate exogenous
saturated and unsaturated fatty acids into lipids by an acyl-CoA pathway, showing specificity for each fatty acid. Liver cell
nuclei also utilize exogenous 20∶4n−6-CoA to synthesize the major molecular species of PC with 20∶4n−6 at the sn-2 position. However, the most actively synthesized is 20∶4–20∶4 PC, which is a quantitatively minor component. The labeling
pattern of 20∶4–20∶4 PC would indicate that this molecular species is synthesized mainly by the de novo pathway. 相似文献

Adequate accumulation of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, in particular docosahexaenoic acid (22∶6n−3), into membrane
phospholipids is critical for optimal fetal brain development. This process is maximal during the period of rapid neurite
outgrowth, neuritogenesis, which precedes the major growth phase, myelination. There is no information about differential
changes during gestation to individual brain phospholipid molecular species which contain 22∶6n−3. Such details of brain development
would be concealed by total fatty acid analysis of isolated phospholipid classes. We have detailed phosphatidylcholine (PC)
and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) molecular species compositions in developing fetal guinea pig brain. Total brain PC concentration
increased substantially between 40 and 68 (term) d of gestation, corresponding to myelination, while PE increased in a biphasic
manner between 25–35 d, which was coincident with onset of neuritogenesis, and 40–68 d. Fetal brain development was accompanied
by complex changes in the concentration of individual phospholipid molecular species. During early gestation (25–40 d) 22∶6n−3
was enriched in both PC and PEsn−1 16∶0 molecular species. However, between 40 d and term there was no further increase in brain PC 22∶6n−3 content, while
brain PE was significantly enriched in both PE 18∶1/22∶6 and PE18∶0/22∶6. We hypothesize that accumulation of 22∶6n−3 intosn−1 18∶1 and 18∶0 species represents establishment of a 22∶6n−3-containing membrane PE pool which may be turned over more slowly
thansn−1 16∶0 species. Identification of specific changes in membrane phospholipids which are associated with defined events in
brain development may provide a basis for assigning functional roles to individual molecular species. 相似文献

The distribution of phospholipids as well as their fatty acid compositions of rat mammary tissues were examined during pregnant,
lactating, and post-weaning periods. There was no apparent change in phospholipids and their acyl groups during the early
and late pregnant periods. However, tissue phospholipid composition was different during pregnant, early, and late lactating
periods. After parturition, there was a marked increase in the proportion of diacyl-glycerophosphorylcholine in the phospholipids
of mammary tissue, but this proportion decreased gradually during lactation. The decrease in diacyl-glycerophosphorylcholine
during lactation was marked by a corresponding increase in diacyl-glycerophosphorylethanolamine. Although the shorter chain
fatty acids of triglycerides were increased during lactation, only a small proportion of these fatty acids was found in the
phosphoglycerides. Marked changes in acyl group composition of individual phospholipids are found during these different physiological
stages. In general, there was a rapid decrease in 20∶4 and an increase in 18∶2 in the major phosphoglycerides during parturition.
The proportion of 20∶4 in the phosphoglycerides remained low throughout the entire lactating period, while that of 18∶2 continued
to increase 2–3 fold. Most of the changes in acyl group of the phosphoglycerides during lactation returned to normal ca. 10
days after weaning. A possible relationship of the variation of phospholipid and acyl group compositions in mammary tissue
to changes in hormonal pattern during different physiological stages is discussed. 相似文献

The phospholipid composition and their acyl group profiles from subcellular fractions of guinea pig adrenal gland and the
same fractions from the cortex and medulla of the bovine gland were compared. The phospholipids of guinea pig adrenal were
enriched in diacyl-glycerophosphocholines (GPC) which comprised over 50% of the total phospholipids, but the proportions of
ethanolamine and choline plasmalogens, sphingomyelin and diacyl-glycerophosphoserine (GPS) were lower in guinea pig adrenals
as compared to the bovine adrenals. In the bovine adrenal, sphingomyelin and diacyl-GPS were enriched in the medulla, whereas
diacyl-glycerophosphoinositol (GPI) were enriched in the cortex. Although lysolecithin was present (up to 4.5%) in the bovine
adrenal, only trace amounts of this lipid were detected in the guinea pig adrenal. Characteristic acyl group profiles were
found associated with each type of the phosphoglycerides in adrenal membranes. However, acyl group profiles of the phosphoglycerides
were not greatly different either between the bovine and guinea pig adrenal or with respect to the type of subcellular membranes
isolated. Diacyl-GPC were enriched in 16∶0 and 18∶1, but also contained considerable amounts of 18∶0, 18∶2 and 20∶4. Diacyl-GPE
were enriched in 18∶0, 18∶1 and 20∶4, while diacyl-GPI, diacyl-GPS, as well as alkenylacyl-GPE, were enriched in 20∶4. The
lysolecithin from bovine adrenal membranes contained mainly 16∶0, 18∶0 and 18∶1 with only trace amounts of the polyunsaturated
fatty acids. Other polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as 22∶4 and 22∶6, are apparently not prominent in the phosphoglycerides
from either the bovine or the guinea pig adrenal gland. 相似文献

The influence of the linoleic acid levels of diets containing partially hydrogenated marine, oils (HMO) rich in isomeric 16∶1,
18∶1, 20∶1 and 22∶1 fatty acids on the fatty acid profiles of lipids from rat liver, heart and adipose tissue was examined.
Five groups of rats were fed diets containing 20 wt% fat−16% HMO+4% vegetable oils. In these diets, the linoleic acid contents
varied between 1.9% and 14.5% of the dietary fatty acids, whereas the contents oftrans fatty acids were 33% in all groups. A sixth group was fed a partially hydrogenated soybean oil (HSOY) diet containing 8%
linoleic acid plus 32%trans fatty acids, mainly 18∶1, and a seventh group, 20% palm oil (PALM), with 10% linoleic acid and notrans fatty acids.
As the level of linoleic acid in the HMO diets increased from 1.9% to 8.2%, the contents of (n−6) polyunsaturated fatty acids
(PUFA) in the phospholipids increased correspondingly. At this dietary level of linoleic acid, a plateau in (n−6) PUFA was
reached that was not affected by further increase in dietary 18∶2(n−6) up to 14.5%. Compared with the HSOY- or PALM-fed rats,
the plateau value of 20∶4(n−6) were considerably lower and the contents of 18∶2(n−6) higher in liver phosphatidylcholines
(PC) and heart PC. Heart phosphatidylethanolamines (PE) on the contrary, had elevated contents of 20∶4(n−6), but decreased
22∶5(n−6) compared with the PALM group.
All groups fed HMO had similar contents oftrans fatty acids, mainly 16∶1 and 18∶1, in their phospholipids, irrespective of the dietary 18∶2 levels, and these contents were
lower than in the HSOY group.
High levels of linoleic acid consistently found in triglycerides of liver, heart and adipose tissue of rats fed HMO indicated
that feeding HMO resulted in a reduction of the conversion of linoleic acid into long chain PUFA that could not be overcome
by increasing the dietary level of linoleic acid. 相似文献

The fatty acid composition of the membrane phospholipids phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine in insulin-sensitive
Type I (soleus) and insulin-resistant Type II (EDL) muscle is not known. In the present studies, soleus and EDL muscles were
removed from 250–300 g Sprague-Dawley rats, and the fatty acid composition of total and individual phospholipid (PL) species
was quantitated. As expected, triglyceride content was increased twofold in soleus muscle. No quantitative differences in
the individual PL species or cholesterol content were found between the two muscles. However, a striking difference in PL
fatty acid composition was observed in the PC fraction. An increase in 16∶0 with decreases in 18∶0, 18∶1, 22∶5n-3, and 22∶6n-3
(P<0.001 for each) was observed in the PC fraction of EDL compared to that from soleus, consistent with reduced elongation of
PC fatty acids. Inhibition of fatty acid oxidation with the carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 inhibitor, etomoxir, did not
alter the fatty acid pattern in either muscle. We conclude that an alteration in PL fatty acid composition consistent with
reduced elongation of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids is observed in Type II muscle. The restriction of these alterations
to the PC fraction has important implications.

A method was developed for the rapid determination of the initial velocity of the desaturation of saturated fatty acids. In
the reaction, DPNH was a more efficient electron donor than TPNH. Fatdeficient rats have a 2.5-fold greater level of acyl
desaturase per milligram of liver microsomal protein than did animals fed lab chow. Increasing the chain length of the acyl
substrate from 10∶0 to 18∶0 increases the rate of monoene formation, but 19∶0 is desaturated at a rate lower than that for
15∶0. The energy of activation (Ea) for the overall desaturation reaction has been determined for 12∶0 through 19∶0. The Ea
values for desaturation of 13∶0 and 16∶0 are markedly lowr than for the other acids. An interaction between the alkyl chain
of the substrate and polyunsaturated acids of the microsomal membrane-bound phospholipids is postulated to explain the recurring
3-carbon pattern of the relative reaction rates of the various acyl substrates. 相似文献

The intestinal absorption of carotenoids is though to be mediated by the carotenoid assembly in mixed micelles, followed by
its transfer into the enterocytes and subsequent secretion to the lymph as chylomicron particles. In the present study we
investigated the effects of phospholipids and lysophospholipids with diverse fatty acyl moieties on the uptake of β-carotene
solubilized in mixed micelles by Caco-2 cells. Compared with phospholipid-free mixed micelles (NoPL), those containing long-chain
PC inhibited β-carotene uptake (16∶0, 18∶1-PC≅16∶0, 18∶2-PC<14∶0, 14∶0-PC≅16∶0, 14∶0-PC <16∶0, 16∶0-PC<NoPL). However, mixed
micelles containing medium-chain PC enhanced β-carotene uptake (NoPL<8∶0, 8∶0-PC<12∶0, 12∶0-PC<10∶0, 10∶0-PC), and short-chain
PC did not affect the uptake. Among the lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC) class, a marked increase of β-carotene uptake by
medium-to-long-chain LysoPC was observed (NoPL<12∶0-LysoPC<14∶0-LysoPC<18∶1-LysoPC<16∶0-LysoPC), although short-to-medium-chain
LysoPC (6∶0-LysoPC to 10∶0-LysoPC) did not affect β-carotene uptake. The long-chain 16∶0,18∶1-PC increased the β-carotene
efflux from cells and drastically changed the β-carotene UV-visible absorbance spectrum, compared with those of NoPL micelles.
The acyl moieties of long-chain PC may interact with the carotenoid in the micelle interior, shifting the β-carotene partition
toward the micellar phase. Medium-chain PC and long-chain LysoPC, which have nearly equivalent hydrophobicities, may enhance
β-carotene uptake through their interaction with the cell membrane. 相似文献

was considerably decreased and diminished unsaturation was observed in cerebrosides, whereas the sum of 24∶0 and 24∶1 was
the same as in normals. The ratio of hydroxy fatty acids to total fatty acids in cerebrosides was low. The contents of cholesterol
and phospholipids in white matter were reduced to 80% of the normal, whereas cerebroside was reduced to 48% of the normal. 相似文献

The acyl composition of ethanolamine and choline phosphoglycerides from a series of human brain tumors was determined and
compared to that of normal human gray matter. Six glioblastomas, one astrocytoma, one oligodendroglioma, and one meningioma
were analyzed. The total fatty acid composition of ethanolamine phosphoglycerides generally had a higher percentage of 18∶1,
18∶2ω6, and 22∶5ω3 and a lower percentage of 22∶6ω3 than that of normal gray matter. Choline phosphoglycerides from the tumors
also contained a higher than normal percentage of 18∶2ω6. Separate analysis of the acyl groups at the 2 position of the diacyl
and ether-linked components of the phosphoglycerides revealed that the diacyl component of ethanolamine phosphoglyceride from
the tumors had lower than normal amount of 22∶6ω3 and a higher than normal amount of 18∶1 and 18∶2ω6. The acyl composition
of ether-linked ethanolamine phosphoglycerides genearally contained a higher percentage of 20∶4ω6 and a lower percentage of
18∶1 compared to the corresponding fraction from normal gray matter. The astrocytoma analyzed had fatty acid profiles similar
to those of the control with the exception of a greater 18∶2ω6 content. These data demonstrate that the composition of the
acyl moiety at the 2 position of diacyl and ether-linked phosphoglycerides of brain tumors differs from the corresponding
component from normal gray matter and that the ether-linked ethanolamine phosphoglycerides provide an important pool of polyunsaturated
fatty acids from brain tumor phospholipids. 相似文献
