Abstract
The influence of the linoleic acid levels of diets containing partially hydrogenated marine oils (HMO) rich in isomeric 16:1, 18:1, 20:1 and 22:1 fatty acids on the fatty acid profiles of lipids from rat liver, heart and adipose tissue was examined. Five groups of rats were fed diets containing 20 wt % fat--16% HMO + 4% vegetable oils. In these diets, the linoleic acid contents varied between 1.9% and 14.5% of the dietary fatty acids, whereas the contents of trans fatty acids were 33% in all groups. A sixth group was fed a partially hydrogenated soybean oil (HSOY) diet containing 8% linoleic acid plus 32% trans fatty acids, mainly 18:1, and a seventh group, 20% palm oil (PALM), with 10% linoleic acid and no trans fatty acids. As the level of linoleic acid in the HMO diets increased from 1.9% to 8.2%, the contents of (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the phospholipids increased correspondingly. At this dietary level of linoleic acid, a plateau in (n-6) PUFA was reached that was not affected by further increase in dietary 18:2 (n-6) up to 14.5%. Compared with the HSOY- or PALM-fed rats, the plateau values of 20:4(n-6) were considerably lower and the contents of 18:2(n-6) higher in liver phosphatidylcholines (PC) and heart PC. Heart phosphatidylethanolamines (PE) on the contrary, had elevated contents of 20:4(n-6), but decreased 22:5(n-6) compared with the PALM group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
