Salvianolic acid B inhibits low‐density lipoprotein oxidation and neointimal hyperplasia in endothelium‐denuded hypercholesterolaemic rabbits

BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis and restenosis are inflammatory responses involving free radicals and lipid peroxidation and may be prevented/cured by antioxidant‐mediated lipid peroxidation inhibition. Salvianolic acid (Sal B), a water‐soluble antioxidant obtained from a Chinese medicinal herb, is believed to have multiple preventive and therapeutic effects against human vascular diseases. In this study the in vitro and in vivo inhibitory effects of Sal B on oxidative stress were determined. RESULTS: In human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs), Sal B reduced oxidative stress, inhibited low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and reduced oxidised LDL‐induced cytotoxicity. Sal B inhibited Cu²⁺‐induced LDL oxidation in vitro (with a potency 16.3 times that of probucol) and attenuated HAEC‐mediated LDL oxidation as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. In cholesterol‐fed New Zealand White rabbits (with probucol as positive control), Sal B intake reduced Cu²⁺‐induced LDL oxidation, lipid deposition in the thoracic aorta, intimal thickness of the aortic arch and thoracic aorta and neointimal formation in the abdominal aorta. CONCLUSION: The data obtained in this study suggest that Sal B protects HAECs from oxidative injury‐mediated cell death via inhibition of ROS production. The antioxidant activity of Sal B may help explain its efficacy in the treatment of vascular diseases. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry     

Upgrading the AOCS infrared trans method for analysis of neat fats and oils by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

An automated protocol for the direct, rapid determination of isolated trans content of neat fats and oils by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was devised, based on a simple modification of the standard AOCS trans method, eliminating the use of CS₂ and methylation of low trans samples. Through the use of a commercially available, heated transmission flow cell, designed specifically for the analysis of neat fats and oils, a calibration (0–50%) was devised with trielaidin spiked into a certified, trans-free soybean oil. The single-beam spectra of the calibration standards were ratioed against the single-beam spectrum of the base oil, eliminating the spectral interference caused by underlying triglyceride absorptions, facilitating direct peak height measurements as per the AOCS IR trans method. The spectrometer was preprogrammed in Visual Basic to carry out all spectral manipulations, measurements, and calculations to produce trans results directly as well as to provide the operator with a simple interface to work from. The derived calibration was incorporated into the software package, obviating the need for further calibration because the program includes an automatic recalibration/standardization routine that automatically compensates for differences in optical characteristics between instruments, instrument drift over time, and cell wear. The modified AOCS FTIR analytical package was evaluated with Smalley check samples for repeatability, reproducibility, and accuracy, producing SD of ± 0.07, 0.13, and 0.70 trans, respectively, the FTIR predictions being linearly related to the Smalley means (r=0.999; SD=± 0.46), and well within one SD of the Smalley sample means. Calibration transfer was assessed by implementing the calibration on a second instrument and reanalyzing the Smalley check samples in cells of two different pathlengths (25- and 50-μm). There were no statistically significant differences between the FTIR trans predictions obtained for the Smalley samples from the two instruments and two cells, indicating that the software was able to adjust the calibrations to compensate for differences in instrument response and cell pathlength. The FTIR isolated trans analysis protocol developed by the McGill IR Group has the benefit of being based on the principles of an AOCS-approved method, matches its accuracy, and allows the analysis to be performed on both neat fats and oils, producing trans predictions in less than 2 min per sample. It is suggested that this integrated approach to trans analysis, which requires a minimum level of sample manipulation and operator skill, be considered as a modification of the proposed Recommended Practice CD14b-95.     

High-performance liquid chromatography of the triacylglycerols ofVernonia galamensis andCrepis alpina seed oils

The triacylglycerols ofVernonia galamensis andCrepis alpina seed oils were characterized because these oils have high concentrations of vernolic (cis-12,13-epoxy-cis-9-octadecenoic) and crepenynic (cis-9-octadecen-12-ynoic) acids, respectively. The triacylglycerols were separated from other components of crude oils by solid-phase extraction, followed by resolution and quantitation of the individual triacylglycerols by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with an acetonitrile/methylene chloride gradient and flame-ionization detection. Isolated triacylglycerols were characterized by proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance and by capillary gas chromatography of their fatty acid methyl esters. The locations of the fatty acids on the glycerol moieties in the oils were obtained by lipolysis. TheVernonia galamensis oil contained 50% trivernoloyl and 21% divernoloyllinoleoyl glycerols along with 20% triacylglycerols with one vernolic and two other fatty acids. TheCrepis alpina oil contained 36% tricrepenynoyl and 33% dicrepenynoyllinoleoyl glycerols, 17% triacylglycerols with two crepenynic and one other fatty acid and 7% triacylglycerols with one crepenynic acid and two other fatty acids. Vernolic acid was found at both the 1(3)- and 2-glycerol carbons but was more abundant at the 1,(3)-position in theVernonia galamensis oil. Crepenynic acid was found at both glycerol carbon positions but was more abundant at the 2-position in theCrepis alpina oil.

Wax esters and triglycerides as storage substances in seeds of Buxus sempervirens

The seeds of the evergreen Buxus‐tree, Buxus sempervirens, contain a yellowish oil which represents up to 42% of the dry weight. The oil consists, in comparison to the lipids of jojoba fruits (Simmondsia chinensis), of only 3.6% wax esters. 95% of the oil consist of triglycerides, the typical storage substances of oil fruits. Phospholipids occur with 0.4% and glycolipids with 0.13%. The fatty acid patterns of these lipids correspond to the typical fatty acid compositions of the respective lipid classes. In the wax esters monoenoic fatty acids and saturated fatty acids with 16 and 18 carbon atoms prevail. The glycolipid and phospholipid fractions are characterized by a high portion of dienoic and monoenoic as well as saturated fatty acids having 16 and 18 carbon acids.     

氢化大豆油和反刍动物油脂中甘油三酯和磷脂反式脂肪酸的位置分布

以氢化大豆油和反刍动物脂质为研究对象,采用Folch法提取油脂,氨丙基硅胶固相萃取小柱分离出油脂中的甘油三酯和磷脂,利用Sn-1,3专一性脂肪酶作用甘油三酯得到Sn-2甘油一酯和游离脂肪酸,磷脂酶A2作用磷脂得到游离脂肪酸和Sn-1溶血磷脂,并通过气相色谱分析2种不同来源油脂反式脂肪酸在甘油三酯和磷脂中的含量和位置分布情况。结果表明,反式脂肪酸占氢化大豆油甘油三酯总脂肪酸的41.466%,占反刍动物油脂甘油三酯总脂肪酸的2.451%~3.179%。反式脂肪酸在氢化大豆油甘油三酯中主要分布在Sn-2位,而在反刍动物油脂甘油三酯中主要分布在Sn-1,3位,在反刍动物油脂磷脂中则易分布在Sn-1上。不同来源的反式脂肪酸的膳食摄入量及其在甘油三酯中的位置分布不同,可能是导致不同来源反式脂肪酸对人体健康影响差异的原因。
