Abstract: | The effects of dietary n−3 and n−6 polyunsaturated fatty acids on the fatty acid composition of phospholipid, Ca++· Mg++ ATPase and Ca++ transport activities of mouse sarcoplasmic reticulum were investigated. Mice were fed a 2 weight percent fat diet containing either 0.5 weight percent ethyl esters of 18∶3n−3, 20∶5n−3 or 22∶6n−3 as a source of n−3 polyusaturated fatty acid or 0.5 weight percent safflower oil as a cource of n−6 polyunsaturated fatty acid for 10 days. Olive oil (2 weight percent) was used as a control diet. Although feeding n−6 polyunsaturated fatty acid induced very little modifications of the phospholipid sarcoplasmic reticulum fatty acid composition, feeding n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acid altered it markedly. Inclusion of 18∶−3, 20∶5n−3 or 22∶6n−3 in the diet caused an accumulation of 22∶6n−3, which replaced 20∶4n−6 and 18∶2n−6 in phospholipid sarcoplasmic reticulum. The saturated fatty acids were significantly increased with a concurrent reduction of 18∶1n−9. These changes in the fatty acid composition resulted in a decrease in the values of the n−6/n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio and a decrease in the ratio of 20 carbon to 22 carbon fatty acids esterified in the phospholipid sarcoplasmic reticulum. This was associated with a decrease in Ca++ uptake by n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acid enriched sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles as compared with n−6 fatty acid and control diet sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. However, neither the affinity for Ca++ nor the maximal velocity of ATP hydrolysis activity of Ca++·MG++ ATPase were altered by the different diets. The data suggest that the incorporation of 22∶6n−3 and/or the decrease of 20∶4n−6 plus 18∶2n−6 in the phospholipid sarcoplasmic reticulum may affect the membrane lipid bilayer structure and make it more permeable to Ca++. |
