A study has been made with steers maintained at 22 C and 35 C on the lipid composition of the plasma, with particular reference
to the role and specificity of the lecithin-cholesterol-acyl transferase enzyme in the formation of the cholesteryl esters.
Exposure to a temperature of 35 C produced a steady decline in the total lipid concentration of the plasma, which reached
a new equilibrium after 7–8 days. The concentrations of the lecithin, free cholesterol and cholesteryl ester fractions in
the plasma of the steers at 35 C were reduced to ca. 60% of the corresponding concentrations found in the animals maintained
at 22 C. The concentration of 18∶2 circulating in both the cholesteryl ester and lecithin fractions was reduced particularly
by exposure to the elevated temperature. No significant change in total blood volume could be detected in the animals between
the two environmental temperatures. Incubation of the plasma at 38 C for 20 hr resulted in an increase in the concentrations
of the fatty acids contained in the cholesteryl ester and lysolecithin fractions and a decrease in the concentration of the
fatty acids contained in the lecithin fraction for the animals at both environmental temperatures. The net esterification
of cholesterol by the acyl transferase enzyme in the plasma from the animals at 35 C was very much less than that found in
the plasma from the animals at 22 C. Under the conditions of the experiment, the esterification process was shown to have
a high specificity for 18∶2. Evidence is available to suggest that the relationship between the acyl transferase activity
of the plasma and the polyunsaturated fatty acids of the circulatory lipids may be severely disturbed by high environment
temperatures. These results are discussed in relation to several known metabolic effects observed in animals exposed to high
environmental temperatures. 相似文献

Guinea pigs were fed one of three diets containing 10% black currant seed oil (a source of gamma-linolenic (18∶3 n−6) and
stearidonic (18∶4 n−3) acids), walnut oil or lard for 40 days. The fatty acid composition of liver triglycerides, free fatty
acids, cholesteryl esters, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, cardiolipin, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine
were determined.
Dietary n−3 fatty acids found esterified in liver lipids had been desaturated and elongated to longer chain analogues, notably
docosapentaenoic acid (22∶5 n−3) and docosahexaenoic acid (22∶6 n−3). When the diet contained low amounts of n−6 fatty acids,
proportionately more of the n−3 fatty acids were transformed. Significantly more eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (20∶5 n−3) was
incorporated into triglycerides, cholesteryl esters, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine of the black currant
seed oil group compared with the walnut oil group.
Feeding black currant seed oil resulted in significant increases of dihomogamma-linolenic acid (20∶3 n−6) in all liver lipid
classes examined, whereas the levels of arachidonic acid (20∶4 n−6) remained relatively stable. The ratio dihomo-gamma-linolenic
acid/arachidonic acid was significantly (2.5-fold in PI to 17-fold in cholesteryl esters) higher in all lipid classes from
the black currant seed oil fed group. 相似文献

Steers were given diets containing formaldehyde-treated casein-safflower oil supplements, in which the constituent 18∶2 was
protected from ruminal hydrogenation. A similar group was given unsupplemented diets. The fatty acid compositions of plasma,
liver, muscle and adipose tissue lipids were determined in both groups of cattle after 0, 2, 4 and 8 weeks of experimentation.
The proportion of 18∶2 in the triglycerides was markedly increased on feeding the supplement and the rate of incorporation
into the plasma triglycerides was higher than that in the triglycerides of muscle and adipose tissue. Associated with this
increase there were compensatory decreases in the proportions of 16∶0 and 18∶1 but no consistent change in the proportion
of 18∶0. The proportion of 18∶2 in the plasma phospholipids and cholesteryl esters was initially much higher than in the triglycerides
and this was further increased by feeding the safflower oil supplement. A linear relationship existed between the proportion
of 18∶2 in the phospholipids and cholesteryl esters of plasma. The supplement also caused substantial increases in the proportion
of 18∶2, both in phospholipids from liver and muscle and in cholesteryl esters from liver, and there were compensatory decreases
in the proportions of other unsaturated fatty acids, e.g., 18∶1, 18∶3, 22∶6. These studies demonstrate that when ruminal hydrogenation
was circumvented by feeding formaldehyde-treated casein-safflower oil particles, the linoleic acid was absorbed and the pattern
of incorporation into plasma and tissue lipids was similar to that in nonruminants. 相似文献

Phosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase or LCAT; EC 2.3.1.43) activity was found to be present
in pig ovarian follicular fluid (POFF), in addition to pig serum (PS). The cholesterol esterification rate in both POFF and
PS is linear with incubation time up to 2 hr. The mean absolute rate of POFF-cholesterol esterification was 8.1±0.4 nmoles
per ml per hr approximately one-fourth of that in PS. However, the fractional rate (percent of labeled cholesterol esterified
per hr) of POFF-cholesterol esterification was similar to that observed in PS. There was little variation of absolute rate
of cholesterol esterification in the fluid obtained from different sizes of follicles. Fatty acid or triacylglycerol did not
participate in the reaction of cholesterol esterification in POFF. No appreciable change in enzymatic activity was found from
storing POFF at 4 C for periods of time up to 24 hr or at −70 C up to 2 months, but activity was lost thereafter. On the other
hand, PS showed a much longer period of stability (5 days at 4 C and 9 months at −70 C). A discrepancy between the fatty acid
composition of cholesteryl esters formed by the LCAT reaction and the fatty acid composition at the C-2 position of phosphatidylcholine
led us to propose a two-step mechanism for the LCAT reaction. It is concluded that the LCAT of POFF, as well as that of plasma,
is specific for individual fatty acids rather than for the fatty acid composition of phosphatidylcholine. The fatty acid concentration
of lysophosphatidylcholine decreased during prolonged incubation times (6 to 21 hr) suggesting that the increased lysophosphatidylcholine
formed as a product of the LCAT reaction may be reused as substrate for the LCAT reaction or for hydrolysis by lysophosphatidylcholine
hydrolase.

The lipid composition of Yoshida ascites hepatoma cells was analyzed together with that of ascitic plasma and of livers and
blood plasma from host and normal rats. In comparison to normal livers, host livers showed no significant differences in the
content of the various lipid classes, but contained a higher percentage of palmitic acid and a lower proportion of arachidonic
acid in the major phospholipid classes. In addition, tumor growth induced a marked hypertriglyceridemia in host animals; changes
in the concentration of other plasma lipid classes were not statistically significant. The ascitic plasma contained small
amounts of lipids mainly constituted by cholesteryl esters and phospholipids. Yoshida hepatoma cells contained less phospholipids
in comparison to both host and normal liver, while the increased level of triglycerides and the decrease of free fatty acids
were not statistically significant. Hepatoma cells showed appreciable amounts of ether-linked lipids associated in part to
neutral lipids (as glyceryl ether diesters) and, in part, to ethanolamine and choline phosphoglycerides. The alkyl groups
in GEDE as well as in ethanolamine and choline phosphoglycerides were mainly constituted by C16∶0 and C18∶0 followed by C18∶1. The alk-1-enyl groups in ethanolamine and choline phosphoglycerides were C16∶0 and C18∶0 with only a minor proportion of C18∶1. In comparison to both host and normal liver, Yoshida hepatoma cells showed significant changes in the fatty acid composition
of neutral lipids and phospholipids. Some of the major changes consisted of an increase of monoenoic acids associated with
a decrease of arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids in phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylinositol. 相似文献

To determine the effects of maternal iron deficiency on lipid composition and fatty acid patterns in offspring, rats were
fed ad libitum diets containing 5 ppm iron (deficient) (n=8) or 320 ppm iron (control) (n=7) and deionized water from day-1
of gestation through day-18 of lactation. On day-2 of lactation, litters were standardized to three male and three female
pups. On day-18, pups were fasted for 4 hr before tissue and blood collection. Significant changes in serum and liver lipid
concentrations and fatty acid patterns were observed in deficient pups. Serum triglycerides, cholesterol and phospholipids
and liver triglycerides, cholesterol, and cholesteryl esters were increased. In deficient pups, percentage total fatty acids
of 14∶0, 16∶1, 18∶1, 18∶2 from serum lipids were increased; in liver, 14∶0, 18∶2, 18∶3 were increased; 18∶0 and 20∶4 were
decreased in both serum and liver. Dam serum lipid levels did not differ between groups. Lipid changes observed in iron-deficient
pups did not consistently reflect the milk, serum or liver lipid patterns observed in dams. Altered lipid composition and
fatty acid patterns of iron-deficient pups thus appear to be of endogenous origin. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to test the effect of a novel fatty acid mixture, enriched with myristoleic and palmitoleic
acids, on plasma lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. Weanling pigs were assigned to one of six groups and each group received
a diet differing in fatty acid composition. Diets were fed for 35 days and contained 10 g added cornstarch/100 g (to provide
baseline data) or 10 g added fatty acids/100 g. For those diets containing added fatty acids, extracted lipids contained 36%
myristoleic plus palmitoleic acid combined (14∶1/16∶1 diet), 52% palmitic acid (16∶0 diet), 51% stearic acid (18∶0 diet),
47% oleic acid (18∶1 diet), or 38% linoleic acid (18∶2 diet). Witht the exception of the cornstarch diet, all diets contained
approximately 30% myristic acid. There were no significant differences in weight gain across treatment groups (P=0.22). All diets caused a significant increase in triglycerides and in total, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein,
and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol. The increase in total plasma cholesterol from pretreatment values was greatest
in pigs fed the 14∶1/16∶1 and 18∶1 diets. However, the increase in low density lipoprotein cholesterol from the pretreatment
concentration was greatest in the 14∶1/16∶1-fed pigs. Increases in very low density lipoprotein cholesterol above pretreatment
concentrations were lowest in 16∶0-fed pigs and greatest in 18∶1-fed pigs. Dietary fatty acids elicited changes in plasma
fatty acids which generally were reflective of the diets, although the 18∶0 diet did not alter plasma fatty acid concentrations
and the 16∶0 diet increased plasma 16∶0 only at the end of the study. These results demonstrated that the combination of myristoleic
plus palmitoleic acids increased plasma cholesterol in young pigs, suggesting that fatty acid chain length, rather than degree
of unsaturation, is primarily responsible for the effects of fatty acids on circulating lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. 相似文献

The esterification of cholesterol by the plasma phosphatidyl choline-cholesterol acyltransferase reaction was studied by two
methods, radioisotopic and colorimetric, in the presence of cerebroside, ceramide, or methyl esters of lignoceric or α-hydroxy
lignoceric acid. The radioisotopic method measures esterification of exogenous labeled cholesterol which must be taken up
into the lipoprotein-bound pool prior to its utilization as a substrate. The colorimetric method measures esterification of
endogenous lipoprotein-bound free cholesterol since the exogenous labeled cholesterol is negligible in concentration. Cerebroside
and ceramide containing α-hydroxy fatty acids reduced the utilization of exogenous labeled cholesterol as substrate, but had
no effect on lipoprotein-bound exogenous cholesterol esterification. Cerebroside and ceramide containing no α-hydroxy fatty
acid had no effect on exogenous labeled cholesterol esterification. The methyl esters of lignoceric acid and α-hydroxy lignoceric
acid had no effect on the esterification of exogenous cholesterol in plasma. There is a decrease in esterification of exogenous
labeled cholesterol with increasing concentration of α-hydroxy fatty acid ceramide. Increasing the concentration of exogenous
cholesterol tends to counteract the effect of the ceramide on cholesterol esterification. There was little effect on exogenous
cholesterol esterification when the α-hydroxy fatty acid ceramide was exposed to plasma before adding the labeled cholesterol.
The findings demonstrate an interaction between free cholesterol and cerebroside or ceramide containing α-hydroxy fatty acids,
but the nature of the interaction is not elucidated. 相似文献

The effect of a hypercholesterolemic diet (HCD) on hyperlipemia and atherogenesis was investigated using normotensive Wistar/Kyoto
rats (WKY), spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP), with systolic blood pressures increasing in
that order. Feeding an HCD diet containing cholesterol, cholate and suet induced hypercholesterolemia in all the strains examined
as compared with a normal diet. The plasma cholesterol levels were significantly higher in WKY than in SHR and SHRSP fed the
HCD diet. The HCD diet also induced hepatic fat deposition, particularly deposition of cholesteryl esters, a slight increase
in aortic cholesterol deposition, and elevation of both monoenoic/saturated fatty acid ratios and linoleate/arachidonate ratios
in tissue lipids. The changes induced in the three strains by the HCD diet were not positively correlated with blood pressures.
The HCD diet affected hepatic acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase and plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activities
differently in WKY and SHR which, in addition to the induction of Δ9 desaturase, may partly account for the difference in
the diet-induced changes in the fatty acid compositions of plasma cholesteryl esters. The results indicate that hypertensionper se does not stimulate the development of hypercholesterolemia and arterial cholesterol deposition induced by an HCD diet, suggesting
that other factors are involved. 相似文献

Fish oils rich in n-3 fatty acids have been shown to decrease plasma lipid levels, but the underlying mechanism has not yet
been elucidated. This investigation was performed in order to further clarify the effects of purified ethyl esters of eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA-EE) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA-EE) on lipid metabolism in rats. The animals were fed EPA-EE, DHA-EE, palmitic
acid, or corn oil (1 g/kg/d) by orogastric intubation along with a chow background diet for three months. At the end the animals
were sacrificed. Plasma and liver lipids were measured, as well as lipid-related enzyme activities and mRNA levels. The fatty
acid composition of plasma and different tissues was also determined. This study shows that, compared to the corn oil control,
EPA-EE and DHA-EE lowered plasma cholesterol level, whereas only EPA-EE lowered the amount of plasma triacylglycerol. In liver
peroxisomes, both EE preparations increased fatty acyl-CoA oxidase FAO activities, and neither altered 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl
(HMG)-CoA reductase activities. In liver microsomes, EPA-EE raised HMG-CoA reductase and acyl-CoAicholesterol acyltransferase
activities, whereas DHA-EE lowered the former and did not affect the latter. Neither product altered mRNA levels for HMG-CoA
reductase, low density lipoprotein-receptor, or low density lipoprotein-receptor related protein. EPA-EE lowered plasma triacylglycerol,
reflecting lowered very low density lipoprotein secretion, thus the cholesterol lowering effect in EPA-EE-treated rats may
be secondary to the hypotriacylglycerolemic effect. An inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase activity in DHA-EE treated rats may
contribute to the hypocholesterolemic effect. The present study reports that 20∶5n-3, and not 22∶6n-3, is the fatty acid primarily
responsible for the triacylglycerol lowering effect of fish oil. Finally, 20∶5n-3 was not converted to 22∶6n-3, whereas retroconversion
of 22∶6n-3 to 20∶5n-3 was observed. 相似文献

This study examined the effect on the plasma lipids and plasma phospholipid and cholesteryl ester fatty acids of changing
from a typical western diet to a very low fat (VLF) vegetarian diet containing one egg/day. The effect of the addition of
saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) to the VLF diet was also examined. Three groups of 10 subjects (6
women, 4 men) were fed the VLF diet (10% energy as fat) for two weeks, and then in the next two weeks the dietary fat in each
group was increased by 10% energy/week using butter, olive oil or safflower oil. The fat replaced dietary carbohydrate. The
VLF diet reduced both the low density lipoprotein (LDL)-and high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels; addition of
the monounsaturated fats and PUFA increased the HDL-cholesterol levels, whereas butter increased the cholesterol levels in
both the LDL- and HDL-fractions. The VLF diet led to significant reductions in the proportion of linoleic acid (18∶2ω6) and
eicosapentaenoic acid (20∶5ω3) and to increases in palmitoleic (16∶1), eicosatrienoic (20∶3ω6) and arachidonic acids (20∶4ω6)
in both phospholipids and cholesteryl esters. Addition of butter reversed the changes seen on the VLF diet, with the exception
of 16∶1, which remained elevated. Addition of olive oil resulted in a significant rise in the proportion of 18∶1 and significant
decreases in all ω3 PUFA except 22∶6 compared with the usual diet. The addition of safflower oil resulted in significant increases
in 18∶2 and 20∶4ω6 and significant decreases in 18∶1, 20∶5ω3 and 22∶5ω3. These results indicate that the reduction of saturated
fat content of the diet (<6% dietary energy), either by reducing the total fat content of the diet or by exchanging saturated
fat with unsaturated fat, reduced the total plasma cholesterol levels by approximately 12% in normocholesterolemic subjects.
Although the VLF vegetarian diet reduced both LDL- and HDL-cholesterol levels, the long-term effects of VLF diets are unlikely
to be deteterious since populations which habitually consume these diets have low rates of coronary heart disease. The addition
of safflower oil or olive oil to a VLF diet produced favorable changes in the lipoprotein lipid profile compared with the
addition of butter. The VLF diets and diets rich in butter, olive oil or safflower oil had different effects on the 20 carbon
eicosanoid precursor fatty acids in the plasma. This suggests that advice on plasma lipid lowering should also take into account
the effect of the diet on the fatty acid profile of the plasma lipids. 相似文献

In female rats subjected to a 12 hr light-12 hr darkness schedule and fed a semipurified diet containing 10% corn oil, plasma
corticosterone concentration showed a monophasic circadian cycle with minimum and maximum concentrations at the start of the
light and dark periods, respectively. Adrenal total cholesteryl ester concentration was inversely related to plasma corticosterone,
as were those of several of the individual esters; changes in cholesteryl ester concentration appeared to follow rather than
precede changes in plasma corticosterone. There was preferential depletion of the cholesteryl esters of 18∶1, 18∶2ω6, and
20∶4ω6 during glucocorticoid secretion. [Abbreviations: EFA, essential fatty acid (s);X:YωZ, fatty acid with X carbon atoms
and Y olefinic bonds with the terminal double bond Z carbon atoms from the methyl group.] In female rats fed hydrogenated
coconut oil (EFA-deficient), a monophasic cycle for plasma corticosterone was also observed, but the peak was much broader
than that recorded for rats fed corn oil, although minima and maxima occurred at similar times for the two groups. No significant
cycle of adrenal total cholesteryl esters was evident in the deficient rats, but the 20∶3ω9 and 22∶3ω9 esters did decrease
significantly during the period of high plasma corticosterone concentration. Preferential net decreases in adrenal cholesteryl
esters during corticosteroidogenesis were more apparent in normal than in EFA-deficient rats. 相似文献

Studies were made of the enzymic synthesis and hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters in rat testes. Weanling rats were fed for
14 weeks diets containing 5% by wt of hydrogenated coconut oil (HCO), a concentrate of ethyl elaidate and linolelaidate (TRANS),
devoid of essential fatty acids (EFA), or safflower oil (SAFF). Cholesterol esterifying activity was localized in the soluble
fraction, and cholesteryl ester hydrolase activity was distributed in both particulate and soluble fractions obtained from
tissue homogenates. The optimum pH was 6.0 for esterification and 6.9–7.0 for hydrolysis. Neither esterifying nor hydrolytic
activity was affected by freezing and thawing, but both reactions were inhibited by heat or sonication. The animals of both
the HCO and TRANS groups had developed an EFA deficiency before they were sacrificed. The EFA deficiency produced upon feeding
the HCO diet had no apparent effect on the synthesis and hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters in rat testes. The TRANS diet influenced
the development of the testes as judged by their size, and cholesterol esterifying and cholesteryl ester hydrolyzing activities
were suppressed in the testes of the animals of this group. A major difference in the effects of the HCO and TRANS diets on
the lipids of the testes was the relatively minor amount of eicosatrienoic acid (20∶3) and the elevated level of docosapentaenoic
acid (22∶5) in the cholesteryl esters of the testicular lipids of the TRANS group. 相似文献

The bulk of the plasma plant sterol in phytosterolemia occurs in the esterified form and is carried mostly in the low and
high density lipoproteins. We have determined the fatty acid composition of the individual plasma steryl esters from a newly
discovered subject with phytosterolemia and xanthomatosis. For this purpose the intact steryl esters were subject to high
temperature gas liquid chromatography (GLC) on a polar capillary column, which separated the major esters on the basis of
molecular weight and degree of unsaturation of the fatty acids. The saturated and unsaturated sterols esterified to saturated,
monoenoic, dienoic and tetraenoic fatty acids were identified by GLC analysis of the sterol moieties of the corresponding
AgNO3-TLC fractions of the steryl esters. The GLC results were confirmed by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography
combined with mass spectrometry via direct liquid inlet interface. It was found that, in general, each fatty acid was esterified
to the same complement of sterols, and that the esterified sterols possessed a composition comparable to that of the free
plasma sterols, which was comprised of about 75% cholesterol, 6% campesterol, 4% 22,23-dihydrobrassicasterol and 15% β-sitosterol.
The fatty acid composition of the steryl esters differed from that of the 2-position of the plasma phosphatidylcholines, which
contained significantly less palmitic and oleic and more linoleic acid. On the basis of these results and a review of the
literature it is suggested that the plasma cholesteryl and plant steryl esters in phytosterolemia originate from both synthesis
in plasma via the lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase and synthesis in tissues via the acylCoA-cholesterol acyltransferase. 相似文献

Mesenteric fat tissue obtained at autopsy from 6 patients with mesenteric panniculitis (MP) were found to contain significant
amounts of cholesteryl esters (CE). In addition, samples from 3 of these cases were found to contain 0.5–1.3% free cholesterol,
0.9–1.9% free fatty acids (FFA), 0.6–2.5% 1-alkyl glyceryl ether diesters and small amounts of squalene. Two of these tissues
also contained alk-1-enyl glyceryl ether diesters. The fatty acid compositions of the CE, FFA, triacylglycerides and glyceryl
ether diesters (GEDE) were determined and oleic acid (18∶1) was found to be the major fatty acid. The alkyl group composition
of the GEDE consisted essentially of 16∶0 and 18∶0 and 18∶1 carbon atoms in both types of ethers. 相似文献

Normal phase high performance liquid chromatography methods are described for the separation of neutral lipid, fatty acid
and five phospholipid classes using spectrophotometric detection at 206 nm. Separations were accomplished in less than 10
min for each lipid class. A mobile phase consisting of hexane/methyltertiarybutylether/acetic acid (100∶5∶0.02) proved effective
in separating cholesteryl ester and triglyceride with recoveries of 100% for radiolabeled cholesteryl oleate and 98% for radiolabeled
triolein. Free fatty acid and cholesterol were separated by two different mobile phases. The first, hexane/methyltertiarybutylether/acetic
acid (70∶30∶0.02) effectively separated free fatty acids and cholesterol, but did not separate cholesterol from 1,2-diglyceride.
A mobile phase consisting of hexane/isopropanol/acetic acid (100∶2∶0.02) effectively separated free fatty acid, cholesterol,
1,2-diglyceride and 1,3-diglyceride. Recoveries of oleic acid and cholesterol were 100% and 97%, respectively. Five phospholipid
classes were separated using methylteriarybutylether/methanol/aqueous ammonium acetate (pH 8.6) (5∶8∶2) as the mobile phase.
The recoveries of phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin and lysophosphatidylcholine
were each greater than 96%. 相似文献

We report a simple method that efficiently esterifies the fatty acids in soapstock, an inexpensive, lipid-rich by-product
of edible oil production. The process involves (i) alkaline hydrolysis of all lipid-linked fatty acid ester bonds and (ii)
acid-catalyzed esterification of the resulting fatty acid sodium salts. Step (i) completely saponified all glycerides and
phosphoglycerides in the soapstock. Following water removal, the resulting free fatty acid sodium salts were rapidly and quantitatively
converted to fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) by incubation with methanol and sulfuric acid at 35°C and ambient pressure. Minimum
molar reactant ratios for full esterification were fatty acids/methanol/sulfuric acid of 1∶30∶5. The esterification reaction
was substantially complete within 10 min and was not inhibited by residual water contents up to ca. 10% in the saponified soapstock. The product FAME contained >99% fatty acid esters, 0% triglycerides, <0.05% diglycerides,
<0.1% monoglycerides, and <0.8% free fatty acids. Free fatty acid levels were further reduced by washing with dilute sodium
hydroxide. Free and total glycerol were <0.01 and <0.015%, respectively. The water content was <0.04%. These values meet the
current specifications for biodiesel, a renewable substitute for petroleum-derived diesel fuel. The identities and proportions
of fatty acid esters in the FAME reflected the fatty acid content of soybean lipids. Solids formed during the reaction contained
69.1% ash and 0.8% protein. Their sodium content indicated that sodium sulfate was the prime inorganic component. Carbohydrate
was the predominant organic constituent of the solid. 相似文献

Fatty acid composition of phospholipid (PL) classes was measured in mouse testis. Among the long-chain polyenoic acids (LCPA),
22∶6 was found in highest concentration in phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), whereas percentages of 20∶4 and 22∶5 were not different
in PE than in phosphatidylcholine. Each PL class had a unique fatty acid composition which was also different from that of
triglycerides and cholesteryl esters. Differential metabolisms of 22∶5 and 22∶6 suggest different roles for these fatty acids
in mouse testis. Tissue-specific functions of LCPA in mouse spermatogenesis may be divided between 22∶5 and 22∶6. 相似文献

Substitution of palmolein (POL) for groundnut oil (GNO) doubles saturated fatty acids and decreases by half the linoleic acid
(18∶2n−6) content of Indian diets. The effects of this substitution on selected parameters of cardiovascular risk and membrane
functions were studied in middle-aged subjects. Both metabolic (short-term) and “in-home” (long-term) studies were conducted,
and the subjects were crossed over from GNO to POL or vice versa. During both studies and in both sexes, blood pressure, plasma
levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides and their distributions in various lipoprotein fractions were not altered. The
lower 18∶2n−6 and higher 16∶0 intakes were reflected in fatty acid compositions of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides. However,
the plasma and platelet phospholipid fatty acid patterns did not shift toward saturation. The observation that the levels
of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in phospholipids were similar at the end of GNO and POL regimens indicates that
18∶2n−6 furnished during POL regimen may be sufficient to maintain the levels of arachidonic acid in cell membranes. Platelet
aggregation, erythrocyte membrane fluidity, and activity of Na+,K+ ATPase, a membrane-bound enzyme, were essentially similar at the end of the two oil regimens. These results indicate that
POL is comparable to GNO and may not induce hypercholesterolemia in Indian subjects consuming cereal-based diets containing
30% total fat calories and low cholesterol.

Comparative effects of feeding dietary linoleic (safflower oil) and α-linolenic (linseed oil) acids on the cholesterol content
and fatty acid composition of plasma, liver, heart and epididymal fat pads of rats were examined. Animals fed hydrogenated
beef tallow were used as isocaloric controls. Plasma cholesterol concentration was lower and the cholesterol level in liver
increased in animals fed the safflower oil diet. Feeding the linseed oil diet was more effective in lowering plasma cholesterol
content and did not result in cholesterol accumulation in the liver. The cholesterol concentration in heart and the epididymal
fat pad was not affected by the type of dietary fatty acid fed. Arachidonic acid content of plasma lipids was significantly
elevated in animals fed the safflower oil diet and remained unchanged by feeding the linseed oil diet, when compared with
the isocaloric control animals fed hydrogenated beef tallow. Arachidonic acid content of liver and heart lipids was lower
in animals fed diets containing safflower oil or linseed oil. Replacement of 50% of the safflower oil in the diet with linseed
oil increased α-linolenic, docosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids in plasma, liver, heart and epididymal fat pad lipids.
These results suggest that dietary 18∶2ω6 shifts cholesterol from plasma to liver pools followed by redistribution of 20∶4ω6
from tissue to plasma pools. This redistribution pattern was not apparent when 18∶3ω3 was included in the diet. 相似文献
