Plasma Nonesterified Fatty Acids in the Dahl Rat
نویسندگان
چکیده
The link between dietary salt intake and the development of hypertension in the saltsensitive Dahl strain of rats remains elusive. There is evidence that Dahl salt-sensitive rats (DS) produce less vasodilator and natriuretic prostaglandins in response to salt loading than do control saltresistant rats (DR), although the reason for this blunted response is unknown. We examined the effects of chronic dietary salt loading on the plasma levels of nonesterified fatty acids in DS and DR. Animals were fed the same chow containing either 0.4% or 4% NaCl (wt/wt). At 12 weeks, 75 jul of tail capillary blood was obtained from restrained, conscious rats, and principal nonesterified fatty acids were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. Total nonesterified fatty acids rose in the 15 DR on high salt diets compared with values in 11 rats eating low salt (0.57 ± 0.05 vs 0.35 ± 0.01 mM; p < 0.001). The greatest changes occurred in levels of arachidonic acid (+ 287 %) and in the arachidonic precursors, linoleic (+ 89%) and linolenic (+107%) acids. In marked contrast, there was no change in levels of plasma nonesterified fatty acids in DS fed 4% NaCl compared with DS fed 0.4% NaCl. These observations suggest that defective production of natriuretic and vasodilator prostaglandins by DS may be due in part to an inability to produce or release eicosanoid precursors from phospholipid stores in response to dietary salt.

متن کاملPreventive effect of omega-3 fatty acids on ethinyl estradiolinduced hepatosteatosis in female wistar rat
BACKGROUND: Hepatic steatosis due to estrogen therapyincreases the activity of inflammatory markers, particularly theactivity of TNFα which in turn induces more lipogenesis.Omega-3 fatty acids are among the negative regulators of hepaticlipogenesis. OBJECTIVES: In this research, the preventive effectof omega-3 fatty acids on estrogen-induced steatosis in rats wasevaluated. METHODS:2 mg/kg. BW/S...

متن کاملNeonatal hypoxic hyperlipidemia in the rat: effects on aldosterone and corticosterone synthesis in vitro.
Neonatal hypoxia increases aldosterone production and plasma lipids. Because fatty acids can inhibit aldosterone synthesis, we hypothesized that increases in plasma lipids restrain aldosteronogenesis in the hypoxic neonate. We exposed rats to 7 days of hypoxia from birth to 7 days of age (suckling) or from 28 to 35 days of age (weaned at day 21). Plasma was analyzed for lipid content, and stero...
