The metabolic syndrome of fructose-fed rats: effects of long-chain polyunsaturated ω3 and ω6 fatty acids. VI. Further post-mortem investigations.

چکیده
The present study documents the increases in systolic arterial blood pressure, plasma leptin concentration and kidney proliferating cell nuclear antigen index, as well as the decreases in glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymatic activities in the liver, heart, kidney, soleus muscle and visceral adipose tissue homogenates of female rats exposed for 8 weeks to a diet containing 64% (w/w) D-fructose instead of 64% starch. In the fructose-fed rats, the partial substitution of sunflower oil by either safflower oil or salmon oil often opposed the fructose-induced changes in these variables. The present results, thus, extend to these functional, hormonal and enzymatic parameters the knowledge that the dietary supply of long-chain polyunsaturated ω6 fatty acids, mainly C18:2ω6, and long-chain polyunsaturated ω3 fatty acids opposes the undesirable features of the fructose-induced metabolic syndrome, with salmon oil demonstrating particular efficacy.

The time course for changes in food intake, body weight, plasma glucose and insulin concentrations and HOMA index was monitored over a period of 8 weeks in rats exposed from the 8th week after birth to diets containing either starch or fructose and sunflower oil. In two further groups of rats exposed to the fructose-rich diet part of the sunflower...
متن کاملThe Effects of Simvastatin on Free Fatty Acids Profile in Fructose-fed Insulin Resistant Rats
Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease and free fatty acids, as signaling molecules, can play a crucial role in the development of it. Different free fatty acids, through various cell membrane receptors, induce different effects on metabolic pathways and thereby affect insulin sensitivity. Simvastatin is a cholesterol decreasing drug prescrib...
متن کاملSeasonal variations of ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in muscle of Capoeta caelestis
In this study, seasonal variations of fatty acid amounts in muscle tissues of Capoeta caelestis were investigated. We have found that the ω3 contents of C. caelestis in spring, summer, autumn and winter were 17.43%, 15.29%, 17.54%, 13.63% in female and 16.96%, 19.25%, 18.66%, 14.76% in male, respectively. The amounts of ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were higher than those of ω6 polyunsaturated...
متن کاملReduced Dietary Omega-6 to Omega-3 Fatty Acid Ratio and 12/15-Lipoxygenase Deficiency Are Protective against Chronic High Fat Diet-Induced Steatohepatitis
Obesity is associated with metabolic perturbations including liver and adipose tissue inflammation, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Omega-6 fatty acids (ω6) promote and omega-3 fatty acids (ω3) reduce inflammation as they can be metabolized to pro- and anti-inflammatory eicosanoids, respectively. 12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LO) enzymatically produces some of these metabolites and is indu...

A 15-day study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Artemia metanauplii enriched with two commercial supplements (Easy DHA-Selco and S. presso) which contained high levels of n–3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n–3 LC-PUFA) on growth performance, stress resistance and fatty acid profile of Litopenaeus vannamei post larvae (PL). In this regard, PL ...
