International comparisons suggest a relationship between prostate cancer incidence and dietary fat, an inference supported by migration studies, the changing incidence rates and levels of animal fat consumption in Japan and the results from some case-control studies. Overall, however, epidemiological studies have been inconclusive, and although prostate cancer is one of the hormone-dependent tumors, evidence of interactions between dietary fats and male endocrine function is incomplete. Laboratory experimentation has shown that n−6 fatty acids stimulate and n−3 fatty acids inhibit human prostate cancer cells in culture; also, feeding diets rich in marine oils suppresses growth of these cells as solid tumors in athymic nude mice. These growth effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids appear to involve both prostaglandins and leukotrienes and to interconnect with autocrine regulation by epidermal growth factor-related polypeptides. Based on a paper presented at the Sympsoium on Lipids in Cancer held at the AOCS Annual Meeting, Baltimore, MD, April 1990.  相似文献

The type of dietary fat strongly affects the incidence of gallstones in the hamster model of cholesterol cholelithiasis. The present study was designed to determine whether dietary fats could affect gallstone formation by altering the microstructure (vesicular/micellar ratio) of cholesterol in bile. Golden Syrian hamsters from Sasco (Omaha, NE) or Charles River (Wilmington, MA) were fed nutritionally adequate semipurified diets to which were added: (i) 4.0% butterfat without added cholesterol; (ii) 1.2% palmitic acid plus 0.3% cholesterol; or (iii) 4.0% safflower oil plus 0.3% cholesterol. Gallstone incidence and the percentage of cholesterol in vesicles and micelles were determined after two- or six-week feeding periods. Three out of ten Sasco hamsters fed the 1.2% palmitic acid diet for two weeks had cholesterol stones, while none of the eight Charles River animals had stones. In the Sasco hamsters, a significant proportion of the biliary cholesterol was found in void volume vesicles (28.8%) and small vesicles (17.1%); Charles River hamsters had negligible proportions (1.1%) of cholesterol in void volume vesicles and 15.4% in small vesicles. Cholesterol gallstones were most abundant in Sasco hamsters fed 1.2% palmitic acid for six weeks (nine out of ten animals); the mean cholesterol saturation index of the bile was 1.27. A significant proportion of the biliary cholesterol was eluted in the void volume vesicles (21.4%) and in small vesicles (15.0%). Five of the eight identically treated Charles River hamsters had cholesterol stones; the cholesterol saturation index averaged 1.36, and the biliary cholesterol was present in void volume vesicles (31.3%) and small vesicles (14.3%). Vesicles were not detected in the bile of hamsters fed cholesterol-free diets, and none of these animals developed cholesterol gallstones. Safflower oil diets inhibited stone formation even though the cholesterol saturation index was above unity. After six weeks, biliary cholesterol transported in void volume vesicles was highest for Sasco hamsters (13.3%) as compared to Charles River animals (6.9%), but total cholesterol transported in void volume vesicles plus small vesicles was similar in both groups (33.5% vs. 26.2%), respectively. These results suggest that in both strains of hamsters dietary fat influences gallstone formation by modulating the vesicular/micellar distribution of biliary cholesterol. Apparently, the presence of cholesterol/phospholipid vesicles in bile is associated with cholesterol gallstone formation.  相似文献

Human and pig milk triacylglycerols contain a large proportion of palmitic acid (16:0) which is predominately esterified in the 2-position. Other dietary fats contain variable amounts of 16:0, with unsaturated fatty acids predominantly esterified in the 2-position. These studies determined if the amount or position of 16:0 in dietary fat influences the composition or distribution of liver, adipose tissue, lung, or plasma fatty acids in developing piglets. Piglets were fed to 18 d with sow milk or formula with saturated fat from medium-chain triglyceride (MCT), coconut or palm oil, or synthesized triacylglycerols (synthesized to specifically direct 16:0 to the 2-position) with, in total fatty acids, 30.7, 4.3, 6.5, 27.0, and 29.6% 16:0, and in 2-position fatty acids, 55.3, 0.4, 1.3, 4.4, and 69.9% 16:0, respectively. The percentage of 16:0 in the 2-position of adipose fat from piglets fed sow milk, palm oil, and synthesized triacylglycerols were similar and higher than in piglets fed MCT or coconut oil. Thus, the amount, not the position, of dietary 16:0 determines piglet adipose tissue 16:0 content. The effects of the diets on the plasma and liver triacylglycerols were similar, with significantly lower 16:0 in total and 2-position fatty acids of the MCT and coconut oil groups, and significantly higher 16:0 in the plasma and liver triacylglycerol 2-position of piglets fed the synthesized triacylglycerols rather than sow milk or palm oil. The lung phospholipid total and 2-position 16:0 was significantly lower in the MCT, coconut, and palm oil groups, but similar in the synthesized triacylglycerol group and sow milk group. The lung phospholipid total and 2-position percentage of arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) was significantly lower in all of the formula-fed piglets than in milk-fed piglets. The physiological significance of this is not known.  相似文献

This study examined the effect of castration and dietary hormonal supplementation on cholesterol cholelithiasis in male hamsters. Animals fed a standard lithogenic diet developed cholesterol gallstones (17%) after 6 wk, while castrated hamsters did not form any stones. Addition of a synthetic androgen, methyltestosterone, to the lithogenic diet induced cholelithiasis in castrated animals (50%). The biles of normal and castrated-hormone supplemented hamsters had cholesterol saturation indices of 1.0 and 1.1, respectively, while the bile of the castrated animals remained unsaturated (0.6). The ratio of cholic acid/chenodeoxycholic acid in bile increased after castration, but returned to normal levels following hormonal supplementation. Biliary cholesterol carriers were separated by ultracentrifugation. Animals in the stone-forming groups (normal and castrated-hormone treated) had a significant proportion of their biliary cholesterol in vesicles (44 and 46%, respectively); castrated hamsters had less cholesterol in vesicle form (9%). The molar ratio of cholesterol/phospholipid in vesicles was reduced after castration (0.93 vs. 0.42) and increased by hormonal supplementation (1.89). In conclusion, when compared to normal male hamsters fed a standard lithogenic diet, castration reduced the cholesterol saturation of bile, lowered the vesicular/micellar ratio in bile, and inhibited cholesterol cholelithiasis. Dietary androgen supplementation increased the lithogenicity of bile, resulting in stone formation in castrated animals.  相似文献

Dietary fat alters biliary lipid secretion in the hamster   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Dietary fat has been found to alter the incidence of cholesterol gallstones in hamsters: butterfat intensifies while safflower oil reduces lithiasis. We now report how dietary fat affects bile flow and biliary lipid secretion in this model. Male hamsters were fed one of three experimental diets: a control diet (containing 0.3% cholesterol); control diet +4.0% butterfat; or control diet +4.0% safflower oil. After three weeks, bile samples were collected via an external biliary fistula. The endogenous bile acid pool was depleted for 120 min followed by increasing rates of taurocholate infusion for 160 min. Basal secretion of biliary lipids was measured during the bile acid depletion period. Basal bile flow and bile acid output were not significantly different in the three groups. Dietary butterfat increased basal cholesterol output compared to the control diet (0.037 vs. 0.025 μmol/min·kg, respectively); safflower oil did not change cholesterol output (0.027 μmol/min·kg). Hamsters fed butterfat or safflower oil secreted more phospholipid (0.171 and 0.178 μmol/min·kg, respectively) than controls (0.131 μmol/min·kg). The cholesterol/phospholipid output ratio of the butterfat group was higher than the safflower oil group (0.220 vs. 0.153, respectively). Effects of dietary fat on several relationships between bile flow and biliary lipid secretion were analyzed by linear regression using the data for the entire bile collection period (bile acid depletion and taurocholate infusion). Butterfat and safflower oil did not change either bile acid dependent or bile acid independent bile flow. Hamsters fed butterfat had a higher linkage coefficient (slope) of cholesterol vs. bile acid output than the safflower oil group (0.023 vs. 0.009, respectively). The linkage coefficient of phospholipid vs. bile acid output of the butterfat group was higher than the controls (0.278 vs. 0.185, respectively). In summary, butterfat induced a high cholesterol and phospholipid secretion with a high cholesterol/phospholipid output ratio; safflower oil induced a high phospholipid secretion with a low cholesterol/phospholipid output ratio. Butterfat and safflower oil have different effects on biliary lipid secretion. These differences in biliary lipid secretion may explain, in part, how butterfat and safflower oil differ in affecting gallstone formation in hamsters.  相似文献

In the present study, we examined the effect of the following factors on a hamster model of cholesterol cholelithiasis: (i) the source of the golden Syrian hamsters (Sasco, Omaha, NE or Charles River, Wilmington, MA), (ii) the sex of the experimental animals and (iii) their age (4 wkvs. 8 wk of age). All hamsters were fed a semipurified diet which contained cholesterol (0.3%) and palmitic acid (1.2%). No cholesterol gallstones formed in any of the female hamsters regardless of age or source. The 4-week-old male hamsters from Sasco had the greatest incidence of gallstones (93%). The 8-week-old male hamsters tended to have a lower incidence of cholesterol gallstones than the younger ones, regardless of the commercial supplier (67vs. 93% for Sasco and 27vs. 40% for Charles River). Female hamsters has higher liver and serum cholesterol levels than the male hamsters; Charles River hamsters had lower serum cholesterol concentrations than the Sasco animals. Total biliary lipid concentrations were highest in Sasco male hamsters, but biliary cholesterol (mol%) was lower in the males than in the females (4.2–4.5%vs. 6.1–7.1%) regardless of age. The cholesterol saturation indices were higher in the Sasco females than the corresponding males; these values were lower in the Sasco hamsters than the Charles River animals, regardless of age or sex. The male Sasco hamsters had a higher total biliary bile acid concentration (98.9 mg/mL) than the Sasco females (58.9 mg/mL) and the Charles River animals (24.6% mg/mL for males and 38.2 mg/mL for females). The percentage of chenodeoxycholic acid in bile was significantly lower, and the percentage of cholic acid was higher in all females as compared to males. We conclude that there is a sex, age and “strain” difference in cholesterol cholelithiasis in hamsters; it is important to consider these factors when working with the hamster model of gallstone disease. All female hamsters were markedly resistant to the induction of cholesterol gallstone disease.  相似文献

Platelet lipid composition is important to normal platelet morphology and function, and is influenced by dietary fatty acids and cholesterol. The fatty acid composition and cholesterol content of infant formulas differs from those of human milk, but the possible effects on platelet lipids in young infants is not known. This was studied in piglets fed from birth to 18 d of age with one of eight formulas differing in saturated fatty acid chain length, or content of 18∶1, 20∶5n−3 plus 22∶6n−3, or cholesterol. A reference group of piglets fed sow milk was also studied. Sow milk has a fatty acid composition and cholesterol content similar to that of human milk. Piglets fed formulas high in 18∶1 (34.9–40.8% wt fatty acids) and low in 16.0 (≤6.5% wt fatty acids) had lower platelet counts and greater platelet size than piglets fed sow milk (40.4% 18∶1, 30.7% 16∶0). Piglets fed formulas high in 16∶0 (27–29.6%) and 18∶1 (40–40.6%), or low in both 16∶0 (5.9–6.1%) and 18∶1 (10.8–11.2%), had similar platelet counts and size to piglets fed sow milk. Platelet phospholipid % 20∶4n−6 was lower in all the groups of piglets fed formula than in the group fed sow milk. Addition of fish oil with 20∶5n−3 plus 22∶6n−3 to the formula further decreased platelet phospholipid 20∶4n−6. Addition of cholesterol to the formula increased the platelet phospholipid % 20∶4n−6 and platelet volume.  相似文献

The objective of this experiment was to study the effects of dietary cottonseed protein and casein on plasma and biliary lipids, plasma amino acids and gallstones in hamsters. Thirty-four male hamsters (60 ± 5 g) were fed either the lithogenic “Dam Diet” (containing 20% casein, 74.3% sucrose and 5.7% vitamin-mineral mix) or a similar diet that contained 20% cottonseed protein for 30 days. Both diets contained protein as a protein isolate. The concentration of alpha-aminobutyric acid was significantly elevated in the casein-fed group. Significant differences in the total plasma cholesterol or lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations were not observed between the two dietary groups. A significant elevation in the absolute concentration of biliary cholesterol was observed in the casein-fed hamsters. Cottonseed protein-fed animals exhibited a significantly elevated concentration of bile acids. The ratio of glycochenodeoxycholic:glycocholic acid was significantly higher in the cotton-seed protein-fed group. This study reports that an elevated concentration of biliary cholesterol with a concomitant decrease in bile acid concentration yields a condition favorable to gallstone formation. It is proposed that cottonseed protein may have a specific effect on the bile acid pool by increasing the ratio of glycochenodeoxycholic acid:glycocholic acid which, in turn, prevents formation of cholesterol gallstones.  相似文献

Background  

Consumption of healthy diets that contribute with adequate amounts of fat and fatty acids is needed for children. Among Guatemalan children, there is little information about fat intakes. Therefore, the present study sought to assess intakes of dietary fats and examine food sources of those fats in Guatemalan children.  相似文献

The effects of dietary fats have been established in epidemiological and intervention studies and through relationship to risk factors for development of coronary heart disease (CHD). During a period where the impressive effects of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors on the mortality of CHD dominate the medical journals, it is important to realize the major effects of dietary fatty acids on a series of events included in the multifactorial disorder of CHD.  相似文献

Diabetes-associated changes in intestinal uptake of nutrients are modified by isocaloric variations in the type of dietary lipids, and are associated with alterations in the phospholipid and fatty acyl content of the intestinal brush border membrane. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that diet- and diabetes-associated changes in enterocyte microsomal membrane phospholipids are due to variations in the activity of two phospholipid metabolizing enzymes, 1,2-diacylglycerol: CDP choline cholinephosphotransferase (CPT) and phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase (PEMT). Adult female Wistar rats were fed one of four semisynthetic diets—beef tallow low in cholesterol (BT), beef tallow high in cholesterol (BTC), fish oil low in cholesterol (FO) or fish oil high in cholesterol. In half of the animals, diabetes mellitus was produced by injection of streptozotocin. Jejunal and ileal enterocyte microsomes (EMM) were isolated and analyzed for cholesterol and phospholipids, as well as for CPT and PEMT activities. In control animals, feeding FO reduced EMM total phospholipids including phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylinositol. Feeding FO resulted in a greater than 95% reduction in the activity of CPT. Diabetes was associated with increased jejunal EMM total phospholipids including sphingomyelin (SM) and PE, without associated changes in CPT or PEMT. Dietary cholesterol supplementation did not effect EMM total cholesterol or phospholipid composition in control rats fed BT or FO, but was associated with an increase in EMM cholesterol in diabetic rats fed BT or FO. A decrease in total phospho-lipids due to a decline in SM, PC and PE in diabetic rats fed FO was not associated with changes in the activities of CPT or PEMT in EMM. Thus (i) enterocyte microsomal membrane cholesterol and phospholipid contents are influenced by diabetes, dietary cholesterol and the type of fatty acid in the diet, and (ii) changes in phospholipid composition are not fully explained by alterations in the activities of CPT and PEMT.  相似文献

Some characteristics of the fatty acid composition of animal tissue lipids are described and the origins of tissue fatty acids are discussed briefly. The effect of dietary fat on composition of tissue lipids is discussed. Types of dietary fatty acids for which experimental work is described include polyunsaturated fatty acids, short-chain fatty acids, fatty acids with chain length greater than C18,trans unsaturated fatty acids, fatty acids with conjugated double bonds, acetylenic fatty acids, branched-chain fatty acids and oxygenated fatty acids. The individuality of fatty acids is discussed in relation to their roles as components of tissue lipids.  相似文献

The component fatty acids of the fat elaborated byAspergillus terreus Thom, which was found to be a promising mold for the production of fat, have been studied. The fat has, based on gas liquid chromatographic evidence, 0.1% lauric, 1.9% myristic, 23.4% palmitic, 0.1% palmitoleic, 0.3% stearic, 14.1% oleic, 39.4% linoleic and 20.7% linolenic acids. The presence of large proportions of linoleic and linolenic acids suggests technological interest for the fat.  相似文献

Nine brands of mayonnaise and five brands of imitation mayonnaise were purchased from supermarkets in the Washington, DC, area. The samples were analyzed for total fat, fatty acids, sterols, and moisture. Little variation in total fat and saturated fatty acid values was observed among the brands of mayonnaise. The polyunsaturated fatty acid content of mayonnaise ranged from 28.0 to 47.9 g/100 g product. The cholesterol levels were divided between two ranges, 50-55 and 75-79 mg/100 g product. In contrast, there was wide variation in the lipid composition of the different brands of imitation mayonnaise. The total fat values for these products varied from 14.3 to 50.4 g/100 g product. The cholesterol content varied between 0 and 72 mg/100 g product; the latter figure equals the cholesterol content of many of the mayonnaise samples.  相似文献

Summary and Conclusions 1. The constituent fatty acids determined by the Hilditch method in the fat from the sample of pink salmon eggs are reported. Forty-five per cent of the fatty acids were 20 and 22 carbon atoms long, with an average unsaturation of 7.3 hydrogen atoms for the C20 acids and 11.8 hydrogen atoms for the C22 acids. 2. The Hammond and Lundberg correlation of refractive index, carbon chain length, and unsaturation was used to measure the alteration that occurred in the fatty acid esters of salmon egg fat during the vacuum distillation step of the Hilditch method of analysis. The alteration by heat of the unsaturate fraction in the vacuum distillation was significant even in the first overhead subfractions. Analysis by the Hilditch method resulted in low values for unsaturation and chain length of the constituent fatty acids in the unsaturated fat.

Cladosporium herbarum grown as a surface culture in a chemically defined medium of sucrose and inorganic salts gave a high yield of fat (29.2%). The component acids of this fat have been found to be palmitic (34.2%); oleic (15.9%); linoleic (34.2%) and linolenic (15.7%). The combined proportion of linoleic and linolenic acids being about 50 per cent, the fat will be of great value for the manufacture of oil-modified resins as the films produced by such resins do not become yellow with age.  相似文献

The effects of β-muricholic acid and hyocholic acid on cholesterol cholelithiasis were examined in two animal models. The following experiments were carried out: A) In a gallstone prevention study, prairie dogs were fed the lithogenic diet with or without 0.1% β-muricholic or 0.1% hyocholic acid for eight weeks. B) In a second prevention study, hamsters were fed the lithogenic diet with or without 0.1% β-muricholic acid or 0.1% hyocholic acid for six weeks. C) In a gallstone dissolution study, hamsters were fed the lithogenic diet for six weeks to induce stones; stone dissolution was examined during administration of a cholesterol-free purified diet with or without 0.1% β-muricholic acid or 0.1% hyocholic acid. In the prevention study in prairie dogs (A), both bile acids failed to prevent stone formation, the cholesterol saturation index of bile was 0.89 in the lithogenic controls, remained unchanged with hyocholic acid and increased to 1.52 in the β-muricholic acid group. In the prevention study in hamsters (B), β-muricholic acid completely inhibited the cholesterol cholelithiasis (0% stone incidence); the cholesterol saturation index of bile was 1.78 (compared to lithogenic controls, 1.37). Hyocholic acid reduced stone incidence to 16% with a cholesterol saturation index of 0.98. In the dissolution study in hamsters (C), preexisting cholesterol gallstones were not dissolved by either hydrophilic bile acid after feeding these bile acids for an additional six weeks; at the end of the experiment, the cholesterol saturation indices were below unity. These studies suggest that, in the hamster animal model, hydrophilic bile acids may be useful for the prevention of gallstones but not dissolution of preestablished cholesterol gallstones.  相似文献

Male and female rats were fed diets containing 2% of calories as corn oil or that plus 40% of calories as beef tallow or corn oil. After 3, 6, 12 and 18 months groups were given 4-14C-cholesterol ip, and feces were collected for 9 days. Just prior to necropsy3H-acetate was administered ip. Samples of serum, liver, heart and carcass were obtained for analysis. Concentrations of fatty acids and cholesterol, synthesis of those and recovery of ring-labeled steroid are reported. Mortality from acute respiratory disease was very high in male rats fed beef tallow or low fat diets and very low in those fed the corn oil diet. In females, only beef tallow diet resulted in a high mortality rate, and this was lower and at a later age than in males. The most notable effects of age were in relation to fatty acid synthesis and presence of14C-acidic steroid in the carcass. In 3-month-old rats both fats depressed fatty acid synthesis in comparison to the low fat diet. At later ages beef fat ceased to depress fatty acid synthesis in both sexes. Corn oil continued to depress fatty acid synthesis up to 12 months in males and 18 months in females. The presence of14C-acidic steroid in carcass was substantial in 6-month-old rats and constituted ca. 40% of recovered14C in 18-month-old rats. The possibility that the increase in acetate incorporation into fatty acids with age in fat feeding is related to chain elongation rather than de novo synthesis is discussed. Both the presence and amount of acidic steroid in the carcass are notable and may be of importance in constructing models of cholesterol turnover.

Weanling rats were fed fat free diets supplemented with 10% added fatty acids so that dietary effects on bone marrow fatty acids could be determined. The addition or deletion of linoleic acid from the fatty acid supplement resulted in alterations of the fatty acid patterns of bone marrow lipids but to a lesser degree than in erythrocyte lipids. With myristic acid supplementation, increased amounts of stearic acid were found in the lipid fractions, the difference between the bone marrow and erythrocyte lipids being less marked than when linoleic acid was fed. The activities of the bone marrow lipases varied with the dietary treatment. When linoleic acid was fed, higher rates of hydrolysis were observed with saturated fatty acid substrates. The reverse occurred when saturated fatty acids were fed.  相似文献

In this study, the relationships between dietary fat [as measured by serum cholesterol ester fatty acids (CE-FA)], age, smoking, body mass index, and serum lipids were analyzed in 151 subsistence horticulturalists, aged 20–86 yr, from Kitava, Trobriand Islands, Papua New Guinea. Their diet consists of tubers, fruit, coconut, fish, and vegetables with a negligible influence of western food and alcohol. Total fat intake is low [21% of energy (en%)], while saturated fat intake from coconuts is high (17 en%, mainly lauric and myristic acid). In multivariate analysis, 11–43% of the variation of the serum lipoprotein composition was explained by CE-FA, age, and smoking habits. The proportion of CE20∶5n-3 explained much of the variation of triglycerides (TG, negative relation) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C, positive) in both sexes and serum apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1, positive) in the males. CE16∶0 was positively related to TG and negatively related to HDL-C and ApoA1 in both sexes, and in males it related negatively to total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDI-C). In males, negative relationships were present between CE18∶2n-6 and TC and between CE14∶0 and serum lipoprotein(a). Smoking was independently associated with lower ApoA1 in both sexes and with lower HDL-C and higher TG, TC, LDL-C, and apolipoprotein B in males. In conclusion, marine n-3 fatty acids and linoleic acid showed the same potentially beneficial relationships with lipoproteins and apolipoproteins as in western populations. The relations of palmitic acid to serum lipids may be explained in terms of endogenous fat synthesis at a low-fat intake, rather than reflecting its relative intake.  相似文献
