Abeywardena MY, Adams M, Dallimore J, Kitessa SM. Rise in DPA Following SDA-Rich Dietary Echium Oil Less Effective in Affording Anti-Arrhythmic Actions Compared to High DHA Levels Achieved with Fish Oil in Sprague-Dawley Rats. Nutrients 2016; 8:nu8010014. [PMID: 26742064 PMCID: PMC4728628 DOI: 10.3390/nu8010014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2015] [Revised: 12/17/2015] [Accepted: 12/18/2015] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Stearidonic acid (SDA; C18:4n-3) has been suggested as an alternative to fish oil (FO) for delivering health benefits of C ≥ 20 long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFA). Echium oil (EO) represents a non-genetically-modified source of SDA available commercially. This study compared EO and FO in relation to alterations in plasma and tissue fatty acids, and for their ability to afford protection against ischemia-induced cardiac arrhythmia and ventricular fibrillation (VF). Rats were fed (12 weeks) diets supplemented with either EO or FO at three dose levels (1, 3 and 5% w/w; n = 18 per group). EO failed to influence C22:6n-3 (DHA) but increased C22:5n-3 (DPA) in tissues dose-dependently, especially in heart tissue. Conversely, DHA in hearts of FO rats showed dose-related elevation; 14.8%-24.1% of total fatty acids. Kidney showed resistance for incorporation of LC n-3 PUFA. Overall, FO provided greater cardioprotection than EO. At the highest dose level, FO rats displayed lower (p < 0.05) episodes of VF% (29% vs. 73%) and duration (22.7 ± 12.0 vs. 75.8 ± 17.1 s) than the EO group but at 3% EO was comparable to FO. We conclude that there is no endogenous conversion of SDA to DHA, and that DPA may be associated with limited cardiac benefit.

Abstract
Through a multiple approach, the present study on the mitochondrial membranes from mussel gills and swine heart combines some biochemical information on fatty acid composition, sterol pattern, and temperature dependence of the F1FO-ATPase activity (EC 3.6.3.14.) with fluorescence data on mitochondrial membranes and on liposomes obtained from lipid extracts of mitochondria. The physical state of mussel gills and swine heart was investigated by Laurdan steady state fluorescence. Quite surprisingly, the similar temperature dependence of the F1FO complex, illustrated as Arrhenius plot which in both mitochondria exhibits the same discontinuity at approximately 21°C and overlapping activation energies above and below the discontinuity, is apparently compatible with a different composition and physical state of mitochondrial membranes. Accordingly, mussel membranes contain highly unsaturated fatty acids, abundant sterols, including phytosterols, while mammalian membranes only contain cholesterol and in prevalence shorter and less unsaturated fatty acids, leading to a lower membrane unsaturation with respect to mussel mitochondria. As suggested by fluorescence data, the likely formation of peculiar microdomains interacting with the membrane-bound enzyme complex in mussel mitochondria could produce an environment which somehow approaches the physical state of mammalian mitochondrial membranes. Thus, as an adaptive strategy, the interaction between sterols, highly unsaturated phospholipids and proteins in mussel gill mitochondria could allow the F1FO-ATPase activity to maintain the same activation energy as the mammalian enzyme.

Dietary fatty acid composition and the homeostatic regulation of mitochondrial phospholipid classes in red muscle of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2014; 323:60-71.

Abstract
Although dietary lipid quality markedly affects fatty acid (FA) composition of mitochondrial membranes from rainbow trout red muscle (Oncorhynchus mykiss), mitochondrial processes are relatively unchanged. As certain classes of phospholipids interact more intimately with membrane proteins than others, we examined whether specific phospholipid classes from these muscle mitochondria were more affected by dietary FA composition than others. To test this hypothesis, we fed trout with two diets differing only in their FA composition: Diet 1 had higher levels of 18:1n-9 and 18:2n-6 than Diet 2, while 22:6n-3 and 22:5n-6 were virtually absent from Diet 1 and high in Diet 2. After 5 months, trout fed Diet 2 had higher proportions of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and less phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in mitochondrial membranes than those fed Diet 1. The FA composition of PC, PE and cardiolipin (CL) showed clear evidence of regulated incorporation of dietary FA. For trout fed Diet 2, 22:6n-3 was the most abundant FA in PC, PE and CL. The n-6 FA were consistently higher in all phospholipid classes of trout fed Diet 1, with shorter n-6 FA being favoured in CL than in PC and PE. Despite these marked changes in individual FA levels with diet, general characteristics such as total polyunsaturated FA, total monounsaturated FA and total saturated FA were conserved in PE and CL, confirming differential regulation of the FA composition of PC, PE and CL. The regulated changes of phospholipid classes presumably maintain critical membrane characteristics despite varying nutritional quality. We postulate that these changes aim to protect mitochondrial function.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated chemical structure of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides and its modulatory effect on oxidative stress in high-fat mice. The polysaccharides mainly contained xylose and glucose. Little amount of rhamnose, mannose and galactose was observed. The Lycium barbarum polysaccharides had IR bands at 800-1200 cm(-1), 1450-1800 cm(-1), 2500-3000 cm(-1), and 3200-3600 cm(-1), which were distinctive absorptions of polysaccharides. Rats are fed with high-fat diet for 2 months. Results showed that blood and liver antioxidant enzymes activities and GSH level in model mice significantly decreased, and MDA level significantly increased (P<0.01) compared to normal control mice. Administration of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides significantly increased antioxidant enzymes activities and decreased MDA level in mice (P<0.01) compared to model group.

Mitochondrial metabolism in hibernation and daily torpor: a review. J Comp Physiol B 2008; 178:811-27.

Abstract
Hibernation and daily torpor involve substantial decreases in body temperature and metabolic rate, allowing birds and mammals to cope with cold environments and/or limited food. Regulated suppression of mitochondrial metabolism probably contributes to energy savings: state 3 (phosphorylating) respiration is lower in liver mitochondria isolated from mammals in hibernation or daily torpor compared to normothermic controls, although data on state 4 (non-phosphorylating) respiration are equivocal. However, no suppression is seen in skeletal muscle, and there is little reliable data from other tissues. In both daily torpor and hibernation, liver state 3 substrate oxidation is suppressed, especially upstream of electron transport chain complex IV. In hibernation respiratory suppression is reversed quickly in arousal even when body temperature is very low, implying acute regulatory mechanisms, such as oxaloacetate inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase. Respiratory suppression depends on in vitro assay temperature (no suppression is evident below approximately 30 degrees C) and (at least in hibernation) dietary polyunsaturated fats, suggesting effects on inner mitochondrial membrane phospholipids. Proton leakiness of the inner mitochondrial membrane does not change in hibernation, but this also depends on dietary polyunsaturates. In contrast proton leak increases in daily torpor, perhaps limiting reactive oxygen species production.

Abstract
We proposed that inhibition of mitochondrial adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) by long chain acyl-CoA (LCAC) underlies the mechanism associating obesity and type 2 diabetes. Here we test that after long-term exposure to a high-fat diet (HFD): (i) there is no adaptation of the mitochondrial compartment that would hinder such ANT inhibition, and (ii) ANT has significant control of the relevant aspects of oxidative phosphorylation. After 7 weeks, HFD induced a 24+/-6% increase in hepatic LCAC concentration and accumulation of the oxidative stress marker N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine. HFD did not significantly affect mitochondrial copy number, oxygen uptake, membrane potential (Deltapsi), ADP/O ratio, and the content of coenzyme Q(9), cytochromes b and a+a(3). Modular kinetic analysis showed that the kinetics of substrate oxidation, phosphorylation, proton leak, ATP-production and ATP-consumption were not influenced significantly. After HFD-feeding ANT exerted considerable control over oxygen uptake (control coefficient C=0.14) and phosphorylation fluxes (C=0.15), extra- (C=0.23) and intramitochondrial (C=-0.56) ATP/ADP ratios, and Deltapsi (C=-0.11). We conclude that although HFD induces accumulation of LCAC and N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine, oxidative phosphorylation does not adapt to these metabolic challenges. Furthermore, ANT retains control of fluxes and intermediates, making inhibition of this enzyme a more probable link between obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) found in fish oil (FO) have been shown to protect against reperfusion arrhythmias, a manifestation of reperfusion injury, which is believed to be induced by the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and intracellular calcium (Ca2+) overload. Adult rats fed a diet supplemented with 10% FO had a higher proportion of myocardial n-3 PUFAs and increased expression of antioxidant enzymes compared with the saturated fat (SF)-supplemented group. Addition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to cardiomyocytes isolated from rats in the SF-supplemented group increased the proportions of cardiomyocytes contracting in an asynchronous manner, increased the rate of Ca2+ influx, and increased the diastolic and systolic [Ca2+]i compared with the FO group. H2O2 exposure increased the membrane fluidity of cardiomyocytes from the FO group. These results demonstrate that dietary FO supplementation is associated with a reduction in the susceptibility of myocytes to ROS-induced injury and this may be related to membrane incorporation of n-3 PUFAs, increased antioxidant defenses, changes in cardiomyocyte membrane fluidity, and the ability to prevent rises in cellular Ca2+ in response to ROS.

Abstract
The type of dietary fat affects the action of insulin by changes induced in the fatty acid composition of cell membranes. Little is known, however, about the effects of dietary fatty acids on insulin secretion or the possible relation between the fatty acid composition of the membrane phospholipids and insulin secretion. We therefore studied the effects of dietary fatty acids on insulin secretion stimulated by glucose, forskolin and arginine, and on the insulin content of isolated pancreatic islets, as well as on the fatty acid composition of muscle phospholipids, which were used as markers of the diet-induced modifications in the cell membranes. Five groups of rats were fed for one month with diets varying only in their fat composition: olive oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, fish oil and palmitic acid (16:0) + soybean oil (SAT). The SAT group had higher insulin secretion, independently of the secretagogue used. No significant differences were found in insulin content between the groups. The dietary fatty acids modified the fatty acid composition of the muscle phospholipids, both in endogenously synthesized fatty acids and in those which were unable to be synthesized by the organism. No statistically significant relation was found between insulin secretion and the content of certain fatty acids in the muscle phospholipids.

Abstract
We studied the short-term effects of a 20% coconut oil supplementation to the chick diet on lipid composition of liver and hepatic mitochondria, and changes that occurred in mitochondrial-associated enzymes as a result of this diet. No significant differences were observed in the lipid contents of liver when young chicks were fed the experimental diet, whereas hepatic mitochondria rapidly changed in response to this diet. Total cholesterol significantly increased in mitochondria at 24 hours of coconut oil diet feeding and decreased when dietary treatment was prolonged for 5 to 14 days. Changes in total mitochondrial phospholipids showed an inverse profile. A significant decrease in phosphatidylethanolamine and an increase in sphingomyelin were found at 24 hours. The cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio significantly and rapidly (24 hours) increased in mitochondria from treated animals. Cytochrome oxidase activity drastically increased after 24 hours of experimental diet feeding and lowered to the control values when dietary manipulation was prolonged for 5 to 14 days. ATPase activity showed an inverse profile. Changes in cytochrome oxidase activity were parallel to changes in the cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio, whereas changes in ATPase activity showed an inverse correlation with changes in this molar ratio. To our knowledge, this is one of the first reports on the very rapid response (24 hours) of mitochondrial lipid composition and function to saturated fat feeding.

Abstract
Cardiolipin is one of the principle phospholipids in the mammalian heart comprising as much as 15-20% of the entire phospholipid phosphorus mass of that organ. Cardiolipin is localized primarily in the mitochondria and appears to be essential for the function of several enzymes of oxidative phosphorylation. Thus, cardiolipin is essential for production of energy for the heart to beat. Cardiac cardiolipin is synthesized via the cytidine-5'-diphosphate-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol pathway. The properties of the four enzymes of the cytidine-5'-diphosphate-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol pathway have been characterized in the heart. The rate-limiting step of this pathway is catalyzed by the phosphatidic acid: cytidine-5'-triphosphate cytidylyltransferase. Several regulatory mechanisms that govern cardiolipin biosynthesis in the heart have been uncovered. Current evidence suggests that cardiolipin biosynthesis is regulated by the energy status (adenosine-5'-triphosphate and cytidine-5'-triphosphate level) of the heart. Thyroid hormone and unsaturated fatty acids may regulate cardiolipin biosynthesis at the level of three key enzymes of the cytidine-5'-diphosphate-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol pathway, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate synthase, phosphatidyl-glycerolphosphate phosphatase and cardiolipin synthase. Newly synthesized phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylglycerol may be preferentially utilized for cardiolipin biosynthesis in the heart. In addition, separate pools of phosphatidylglycerol, including an exogenous (extra-mitochondrial) pool not derived from de novo phosphatidylglycerol biosynthesis, may be utilized for cardiac cardiolipin biosynthesis. In several mammalian tissues a significant number of studies on polyglycerophospholipid biosynthesis have been documented, including detailed studies in the lung and liver. However, in spite of the important role of cardiolipin in the maintenance of mitochondrial function and membrane integrity, studies on the control of cardiolipin biosynthesis in the mammalian heart have been largely neglected. The purpose of this review will be to briefly discuss cardiolipin and cardiolipin biosynthesis in some selected model systems and focus primarily on current studies involving the regulation of cardiolipin biosynthesis in the heart.

Abstract
A correlation between dietary lipids and cellular enzyme activities is a problem that has only been partially addressed by nutritionists. Therefore, changes in the fatty acid composition and the activities of some key metabolic enzymes (ubiquinol-2-cytochrome c reductase (EC 1.10.2.2), cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) and ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3)) in the mitochondria of liver, heart and brain of rats fed on diets differing extensively in their polyunsaturated fatty acid compositions have been investigated. The results showed that fatty acid compositional changes brought about by the dietary differences were associated with extensive changes in the activities of these key enzymes in the mitochondria. The extent of the influence differed considerably with the period over which the diets were fed. The role of dietary lipids to effect changes through the preservation of membrane structural integrity is discussed.

Abstract
In any discussion of lipids and heart disease it is beneficial from the outset to recognise that at least three different pathological processes may be involved. The first of these is atherosclerosis which involves the deposition of "fat" in the coronary vessels, another is thrombogenesis which describes the formation of blood clots in the coronary vessels, and the third is arrhythmia which refers to disorders in the beating of the heart which may become sufficiently serious to cause sudden cardiac death (SCD). Also it is this disturbance in the rhythmic beating of the heart which is responsible for much of the mortality from 'heart attacks' which occur 'outside-of-hospital' in societies like U.S.A., U.K. and Australia. It is this latter condition of cardiac arrhythmia which is the major concern of this review. Because it is often difficult to differentiate the role of lipids in 'heart disease' in man, it has frequently been assumed that all dietary fatty acids have similar effects on the different processes involved, and many unwarranted generalisations have been made which have led to conflicts of opinion amongst physicians and confusion in the lay public. From the animal studies discussed in this review, it is apparent that dietary fatty acids have an important role to play in determining the vulnerability of the myocardium to develop serious ventricular fibrillation (VF) and potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia. In general, diets rich in saturated fatty acids promote a state of myocardial vulnerability, whilst diets rich in PUFA significantly diminish the probability of developing lethal disorders in cardiac rhythm when the heart is placed under pharmacological (or emotional) stress, or deprived of sufficient blood flow and supply of oxygen. Very recent experiments with the monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) oleic acid clearly demonstrate that, at least in rats subjected to ligation of their coronary artery, this acid is not 'neutral' as has been suggested by some for its role in atherosclerosis, but in fact is indistinguishable from saturated fatty acids in its effect in promoting arrhythmia during either regional ischaemia or reperfusion arrhythmia in this animal model of SCD.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The influence of three different dietary fats (8%) and of endogenous lipid peroxidation with regard to cholesterol concentrations in liver mitochondria and microsomes and in serum has been investigated in the rat. Although the different diet fat used did not produce any effect on serum cholesterol, it was possible to show that each experimental diet differently influenced the microsomal and mitochondrial levels of cholesterol. The highest mitochondrial and microsomal cholesterol content was found in case of diet supplemented with virgin olive oil and the lowest with rectified olive oil. An endogenous oxidative stress induced by adriamycin was able to produce a clear decrease in microsomal and mitochondrial cholesterol level and a sharp increase in serum concentration in all three groups. However, dietary fats and adriamycin had no effect on the microsomal and mitochondrial membrane viscosity as detected by fluorescence polarization. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that mitochondrial and microsomal cholesterol can exchange with exogenous pools when phospholipid peroxidation occurs.

Abstract
The influence of different kinds of dietary fat (8%) and of endogenous lipid peroxidation with regard to coenzyme Q9 (CoQ9) and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) concentrations in mitochondria and microsomes from rat liver has been investigated by means of an HPLC technique. Although the different diet fats used did not produce any effect on microsomes, it was possible to show that each experimental diet differently influenced the mitochondrial levels of CoQ9 and CoQ10. The highest mitochondrial CoQ content was found in case of a diet supplemented with corn oil. An endogenous oxidative stress induced by adriamycin was able to produce a sharp decrease in mitochondrial CoQ9 levels in the rats to which corn oil was administered. The results suggest that dietary fat ought to be considered when studies concerning CoQ mitochondrial levels are carried out.

Abstract
Dietary lipid composition profoundly influences the hibernation pattern of the chipmunk Eutamias amoenus. The object of the present study was to investigate whether these physiological changes following feeding of saturated and unsaturated lipids were associated by compositional changes of fatty acids of tissues and membranes. Animals were fed with rodent chow (control diet), rodent chow with 10% sunflower seed oil (unsaturated diet) and rodent chow with 10% sheep fat (saturated diet). Diet-induced changes in the fatty acid composition of depot fat and brain total lipids and of mitochondrial phospholipids were determined. The fatty acid unsaturation index was lower in animals on saturated diet than in animals on unsaturated diet (depot fat 86.1 vs. 145.9; heart mitochondria 207.6 vs. 247.1; liver mitochondria 148.4 vs. 173.5). Pronounced differences between dietary groups were also observed in n-3 or n-6 fatty acids or their ratios of depot fat, brain and liver mitochondria. Generally, the diet-induced differences in tissue and membrane fatty acid composition in E. amoenus were more pronounced than those observed previously in non-hibernating species. Selective feeding and incorporation of high amounts of unsaturated fatty acids into tissues and cell membranes may be an important preparation for hibernation of E. amoenus which lowers its body temperature during torpor to about 0 degrees C.

Abstract
Cardiolipins (CL) have unique fatty acid profiles with generally high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, primarily 18:2n-6, and low levels of saturated fatty acids. In order to study the effect of dietary fatty acid isomers on the fatty acid composition of cardiolipins, rats were fed partially hydrogenated marine oils (HMO), rich in 16:1, 18:1, 20:1, and 22:1 isomeric fatty acids, supplemented with linoleic acid at levels ranging from 1.9% to 14.5% of total fat. Although the dietary fats contained 33% trans fatty acids, the levels of trans fatty acids in CL were below 2.5% in all organs. The fatty acid profiles of cardiolipins of liver, heart, kidney and testes showed different responses to dietary linoleic acid level. In liver, the contents of 18:2 reflected the dietary levels. In heart and kidney, the levels of 18:2 also paralleled increasing dietary levels, but in all groups fed HMO, levels of 18:2 were considerably higher than in the reference group fed palm oil. In testes, the 18:2 levels were unaffected by the dietary level of 18:2 and HMO.

Abstract
The effects of the peroxisome proliferators clofibric acid (p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid), tiadenol [2,2'-(decamethylenedithio)diethanol] and perfluoro-octanoic acid (PFOA) on hepatic stearoyl-CoA desaturation in male and female rats were compared. Treatment of male rats with the three peroxisome proliferators increased markedly the activity of stearoyl-CoA desaturase. Administration of clofibric acid or tiadenol to female rats increased greatly the hepatic activity of stearoyl-CoA desaturase, the extent of the increases being slightly less pronounced than those of male rats. In contrast with the other two peroxisome proliferators, however, PFOA did not change the activity of stearoyl-CoA desaturase in female rats. Hormonal manipulations revealed that this sex-related difference in the effect of PFOA on stearoyl-CoA desaturase activity is strongly dependent on testosterone. The increase in stearoyl-CoA desaturase activity by peroxisome proliferators was not accompanied by any notable increases in the microsomal content of cytochrome b5 or the activity of NADH: cytochrome b5 reductase. The administration of the peroxisome proliferators greatly altered the acyl composition of hepatic phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine (namely the proportions of C18:1 and C20:3,n-9 fatty acids increased in both phospholipids), and the alterations were partially associated with the increase in stearoyl-CoA desaturase activity.

Abstract
Three groups of male weanling Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets containing 20% corn oil, 20% partially hydrogenated soybean oil (PHSBO) or 18% PHSBO + 2% corn oil. PHSBO contained about 48% of its total fatty acids as trans-octadecenoate. Rats were killed after 16-18 weeks of feeding the various diets, hearts were dissected and crude sarcolemma was prepared by differential centrifugation. The activities of ouabain-sensitive (Na+ + K+)ATPase were significantly lower in membranes of rats fed 20% PHSBO than the control rats fed 20% corn oil. The feeding of 2% corn oil with 18% PHSBO resulted in partial restoration of the enzyme activity. The maximum number of [3H]ouabain-binding sites (Bmax) was also lower in cardiac membranes of rats fed 20% PHSBO than those fed 20% corn oil. Similar to (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity, some restoration of the number of [3H]ouabain-binding sites was observed when 2% corn oil was fed with 18% PHSBO-containing diet. There was no difference in the binding affinity of the radioligand for the receptor among the 3 dietary groups. Adenylate cyclase activities (fluoride-, isoproterenol- and forskolin-stimulated) were lower in membranes of rats fed 20% PHSBO or 18% PHSBO + 2% corn oil than in the control group fed 20% corn oil. Density of the beta-adrenergic receptor was the lowest in cardiac membranes of rats fed 20% PHSBO. The feeding of 2% corn oil with 18% PHSBO resulted in partial restoration of the maximum number of [3H]dihydroalprenolol (DHA)-binding sites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The activity of the beta-adrenergic receptor/adenylate cyclase system of the marmoset monkey heart was investigated following dietary cholesterol supplementation (0.5%). After 22 weeks, plasma cholesterol levels in the cholesterol group were more than twice that of the control group. In the cholesterol-fed group, the affinity for ICYP binding to cardiac membranes was elevated more than 2-fold, while the receptor number was decreased by 31%. Isoproterenol, norepinephrine and sodium fluoride stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was significantly higher in the cholesterol-fed group although the fold stimulation over basal levels was not affected. The most prominent change in the cardiac membrane lipids was an increase in the cholesterol to phospholipid ratio in marmoset monkeys fed cholesterol. These results indicate that in the marmoset, membrane cholesterol is an important factor in determining various properties of the cardiac beta-adrenergic receptor particularly receptor affinity which may impact on the response of the beta-adrenergic receptor/adenylate cyclase system of the heart to catecholamines. This result is in agreement with dietary fatty acid supplements designed to increase cardiac membrane cholesterol in this animal species (McMurchie, E.J. et al. (1988) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 937, 347-358). Elevated membrane cholesterol enhances beta-adrenergic receptor affinity and certain aspects of adenylate cyclase activity. This is a likely mechanism whereby atherogenic diets could promote cardiac arrhythmia in non-human primates and indeed in man.

Abstract
This paper presents a formal procedure for the statistical analysis of data on the thermotropic behavior of membrane-bound enzymes generated using the Arrhenius equation and compares the analysis to several alternatives. Data is modeled by a bent hyperbola. Nonlinear regression is used to obtain estimates and standard errors of the intersection of line segments, defined as the transition temperature, and slopes, defined as energies of activation of the enzyme reaction. The methodology allows formal tests of the adequacy of a biphasic model rather than either a single straight line or a curvilinear model. Examples on data concerning the thermotropic behavior of pig brain synaptosomal acetylcholinesterase are given. The data support the biphasic temperature dependence of this enzyme. The methodology represents a formal procedure for statistical validation of any biphasic data and allows for calculation of all line parameters with estimates of precision.

Abstract
The effects of storage at low temperature on the transition in enzyme function, Tf*, and the Arrhenius activation energy, Ea, were determined for several enzymes associated with the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria. The enzymes studied were succinate:cytochrome c reductase, cytochrome c oxidase, beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, and oligomycin-sensitive, Mg2+-activated ATPase. For freshly isolated mitochondria the Tf*, for succinate:cytochrome c reductase and cytochrome c oxidase, occurred at approximately 23 degrees C and was coincident with a transition in structure, Ts*, determined as the change in temperature coefficient of motion for a spin label intercalated with the membrane lipids. This suggest that the change in thermal response of the membrane-associated enzymes is related to a change in molecular ordering of the membrane lipids. When mitochondria were stored at -12 degrees C, the specific activities of succinate:cytochrome c reductase and cytochrome c oxidase decreased. Concomitant with these changes the Ea, above Tf*, increased. After 100 days storage at -12 degrees C, Ea above Tf* approached the value for Ea below Tf* such that the transition in thermal response could no longer be detected. In contrast, for mitochondria stored at -196 degrees C, although the specific activity declined over the 100 days storage, no changes in either Ea or Tf* were evident. The results indicate a need for caution in evaluating comparative studies of Tf and Ea, for membrane-associated enzymes, using mitochondria which have been frozen and stored.

Abstract
Dietary lipid supplements high in either saturated fat derived from sheep kidney fat or unsaturated fat derived from sunflower seed oil, and a low mixed fat reference diet were fed to marmoset monkeys for 20 months and the effects on cardiac membrane lipid composition, and myocardial catecholamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase and beta-adrenergic receptor binding activity were investigated. For cardiac membranes enriched for beta-adrenergic binding activity, the dietary lipid treatment resulted in small changes in the proportion of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids and substantial changes in the (n - 6) to (n - 3) series of unsaturated fatty acids in the membrane phospholipids. The sheep kidney fat diet increased the cholesterol-to-phospholipid ratio in cardiac membranes in comparison to the other diets. This diet also significantly elevated basal and isoproterenol-, epinephrine- and norepinephrine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. The value of the dissociation constant (Kd) and the receptor number (Bmax) for the binding of [125I]ICYP to the beta-adrenergic receptor was significantly reduced in marmosets fed the sheep kidney fat diet. These results suggest that dietary lipids can influence the activity of the beta-adrenergic/adenylate cyclase system of the heart. Modulation of this transmembrane signalling system may be induced by changes in the properties of the associated membrane lipids, particularly by alteration in the membrane cholesterol-to-phospholipid ratio. This effect may be limited to those animal species in which the nature of the dietary fatty acid intake may be influencing cardiac membrane cholesterol homeostasis, which is in agreement with previous results in rats following dietary cholesterol supplementation (McMurchie et al. (1987) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 898, 137-153). ICYP, (-)-iodocyanopindolol.

Abstract
This study was designed to determine, on intestinal function, the comparative effects of a fat emulsion, a carbohydrate solution, and a mixture of lipids and carbohydrates given for 4 days to adult rats either intragastrically or intravenously. The rats were separated into three groups (n = 24 in each group). Each group was divided into two populations fed either intragastrically or intravenously. Each group received one of the following nutrients: a 20% Intralipid emulsion, a mixture (1:1, V/V) of Intralipid 20% and Vamine N containing 25% glucose (W/V), a solution of Vamine-glucose supplemented with fructose to reach a final concentration of 20% (W/V). Sham-operated rats that received laboratory chow orally were used as controls. The daily caloric intake was 0.21 to 0.22 kcal/g body weight. The studies on villus morphology and on brush border enzyme activities were performed on the proximal part of the jejunum. For all nutrients, intragastric infusion provoked an increase in the villus height. The lipids were the only nutrients to cause villus lengthening by the intravenous route. Intragastric or intravenous infusion of fat provoked a deficiency in intestinal disaccharidases; the presence of carbohydrates in the diet inhibited this effect slightly. Carbohydrates given alone, either intragastrically or intravenously, caused an elevation of lactase activity. Independent of diet composition, aminopeptidase activity was reduced after intravenous feeding. In conclusion, the disaccharidase activities are largely dependent on changes occurring in the nutrient composition given either intragastrically or intravenously, whereas amino-peptidase activity was related to the route of diet administration.

Abstract
Diets supplemented with high levels of saturated or unsaturated fatty acids supplied by addition of sheep kidney fat or sunflower seed oil, respectively, were fed to rats with or without dietary cholesterol. The effects of these diets on cardiac membrane lipid composition, catecholamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase and beta-adrenergic receptor activity associated with cardiac membranes, were determined. The fatty acid-supplemented diets, either with or without cholesterol, resulted in alterations in the proportion of the (n-6) to (n-3) series of unsaturated fatty acids, with the sunflower seed oil increasing and the sheep kidney fat decreasing this ratio, but did not by themselves significantly alter the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids. However, cholesterol supplementation resulted in a decrease in the proportion of saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids and a dramatic increase in oleic acid in cardiac membrane phospholipids irrespective of the nature of the dietary fatty acid supplement. The cholesterol/phospholipid ratio of cardiac membrane lipids was also markedly increased with dietary cholesterol supplementation. Although relatively unaffected by the nature of the dietary fatty acid supplement, catecholamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was significantly increased with dietary cholesterol supplementation and was positively correlated with the value of the membrane cholesterol/phospholipid ratio. Although the dissociation constant for the beta-adrenergic receptor, determined by [125I](-)-iodocyanopindolol binding, was unaffected by the nature of the dietary lipid supplement, the number of beta-adrenergic receptors was dramatically reduced by dietary cholesterol and negatively correlated with the value of the membrane cholesterol/phospholipid ratio. These results indicate that the activity of the membrane-associated beta-adrenergic/adenylate cyclase system of the heart can be influenced by dietary lipids particularly those altering the membrane cholesterol/phospholipid ratio and presumably membrane physico-chemical properties. In the face of these dietary-induced changes, a degree of homeostasis was apparent both with regard to membrane fatty acid composition in response to an altered membrane cholesterol/phospholipid ratio, and to down regulation of the beta-adrenergic receptor in response to enhanced catecholamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity.

Abstract
Studies of intracytoplasmic membrane biogenesis utilizing synchronized cultures of Rhodobacter sphaeroides have revealed that most intracytoplasmic membrane proteins accumulate continuously throughout the cell cycle while new phospholipid appears discontinuously within the intracytoplasmic membrane. The resulting changes in the structure of the membrane lipids was proposed to influence the activities of enzymes associated with the intracytoplasmic membranes (Wraight, C.A., Leuking, D.R., Fraley, R.T. and Kaplan, S. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 465-471). We have extended the study of intracytoplasmic membrane biogenesis in R. sphaeroides to include the membrane adenosine triphosphatase. The membrane bound Mg2+-dependent, oligomycin-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase activity was measured throughout the cell cycle for steady-state synchronized cells of R. sphaeroides and found to accumulate discontinuously. Following treatment with an uncoupling reagent (2,4-dinitrophenol) the intracytoplasmic membrane associated adenosine triphosphatase activity was stimulated uniformly in membranes isolated at different stages of the cell cycle. The adenosine triphosphatase was also measured by quantitative immunoblots utilizing specific antibody to compare the enzyme activity and enzyme protein mass. Immunologic measurement of the adenosine triphosphatase in isolated membranes indicated a constant ratio of enzyme to chromatophore protein exists during the cell cycle in contrast to the discontinuous accumulation of adenosine triphosphatase activity. These results are discussed in light of the cell-cycle specific synthesis of the intracytoplasmic membrane.

Abstract
It is widely recognized that dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA's) and cholesterol can profoundly influence the development of atherosclerotic plaques in coronary vessels, which may lead to myocardial infarction. The possibility that dietary fatty acids may also directly influence cardiac function has received less attention. We therefore reviewed the evidence of the effects of dietary fatty acids, in particular n-3 and n-6 PUFA's, on myocardial phospholipid fatty acid composition and cardiovascular performance. Heart organelles appear to incorporate uncommon fatty acids like 22:1 and trans- 18:1. Diets enriched with 22:1 induce myocardial lipidosis. N-9, n-6 and n-3 families compete among membrane C20 and C22 acids. Several studies have dealt with the relation between diet-induced changes of cardiac membrane (sarcolemma, sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria) phospholipids and membrane function. In view of the variety of diets used and of the membrane functions studied, the results do not permit equivocal interpretation. Several investigators have reported an altered stress response of the heart due to a change of PUFA's in the diet. In rats fed with a low 18:2n-6/18:3n-3 ratio combined with relatively low amounts of saturated fatty acids, a high incidence of myocardial lesions has been observed. Pigs are less sensitive but more susceptible to the development of vitamin E deficiency, when the dietary PUFA content is high. Increased contractility and coronary flow rate have been reported for Langendorff-perfused hearts of rats fed 18:2n-6-rich diets. The effects on coronary flow rate are possibly related to alterations in eicosanoid synthesis, which may also contribute to the reduction by n-6 or n-3 PUFA's in infarct size, magnitude of recovery of function and suppression of reperfusion arrhythmias following release of a coronary artery ligation. On the other hand, increased peroxidation of membrane lipids, due to their high content of n-3 PUFA, may be deleterious.

Abstract
The major phospholipids of rat ventral prostate have been separated and examined using thin-layer chromatography, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The main phospholipid classes were choline and ethanolamine glycerophospholipids, accounting for 77.9% of total lipid phosphorus. The prostate also contained small amounts of serine glycerophospholipids and sphingomyelin. The relative proportions of fatty acids in the different phospholipid classes were also determined. Arachidonic acid in prostatic phospholipids is contributed primarily by ethanolamine glycerophospholipids. This fraction contained 65-69 mol% plasmalogens, whereas choline and serine glycerophospholipid fractions contained less than 5 mol% plasmalogens. Ethanolamine, choline and serine plasmalogens contained mainly vinyl ethers of palmitic and stearic aldehydes. Ethanolamine plasmalogens also contained the vinyl ether of oleic aldehyde.

Abstract
The extent to which exogenous 18:3(n-3) and 18:3(n-6) were desaturated and elongated and the degree to which they and their derivatives altered the unsaturation index of cell glycerolipids were compared using clone 4 MDCK cells grown in lipid- and serum-free medium. Despite differences in the degree of unsaturation of the individual polyunsaturated fatty acids produced from 18:3(n-3) or 18:3(n-6), the unsaturation index of phospholipids increased similarly from 0.7 in control cells grown in serum- and lipid-free medium to ca. 1.6 in those supplemented with fatty acid. The added fatty acids had little effect on cell growth. The conversion of 18:3(n-6) to 20:3(n-6) and 20:4(n-6) was more rapid than that of 18:3(n-3) to 20:4(n-3) and 20:5(n-3). No significant quantities of 20:3(n-3) or 18:4(n-3) were noted. When both 18:3 isomers were supplied simultaneously, marked differences in the amounts of some species of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids were observed. The presence of 18:3(n-6) and/or its derivatives suppressed levels of 20:4(n-3) and 20:5(n-3), perhaps through inhibition of the delta 6 and delta 5 desaturases responsible for their synthesis from 18:3(n-3). Similarly 18:3(n-3), and/or its longer more unsaturated derivatives, diminished the formation of 20:4(n-6) from 18:3(n-6). No marked effect on the products derived from elongation alone were observed.

Abstract
Diets supplemented with high levels of saturated fatty acids derived from sheep kidney (perirenal) fat or unsaturated fatty acids derived from sunflowerseed oil were fed to marmoset monkeys for 22 wk. The effect of such diets on plasma, red blood cell phospholipids, and liver, heart, kidney and brain mitochondrial phospholipid fatty acids was determined. Despite large differences in the level and type of lipid present in the experimental diets, there was little effect on the proportion of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids in the phospholipids of the membranes examined. The diets did, however, alter the proportion of the various classes of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the membrane phospholipids, with the sunflowerseed oil diet elevating and the sheep kidney fat diet reducing the n-6/n-3 unsaturated fatty acid ratio, relative to a low (mixed fat) reference diet. This change occurred in all membranes except brain, in which only a small response to altered dietary lipid intake was observed. Elevation of dietary linoleic acid led to an increase in membrane linoleic acid and a marked decrease in membrane arachidonic acid, such that the membranes from animals fed the sunflowerseed oil diet exhibited the lowest proportion of arachidonic acid. In this latter respect, the response of the marmoset monkey to dietary lipid supplementation differs markedly from the rat. Our inability to alter significantly membrane lipid saturation/unsaturation supports the notion that a homeostatic mechanism is in some way responsible for buffering membranes from the effects of significant changes in the nature of the dietary lipid intake.

Abstract
Hepatic mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) properties, beta-oxidation of palmitoyl-CoA and membrane polarization were measured in lean and obese Zucker rats. The Vmax. of the 'outer' carnitine palmitoyltransferase ('CPT-A') increased with starvation, with no change in the Km for either carnitine or palmitoyl-CoA. The Ki for malonyl-CoA increased with starvation in lean rats, but not in obese rats. The Vmax. of the 'inner' enzyme ('CPT-B'), as measured by using inverted submitochondrial vesicles, increased with starvation in obese rats only, with no change in the Km for either carnitine or palmitoyl-CoA. The Ki for malonyl-CoA was 2-5-fold higher in inverted vesicles than in intact mitochondria, and showed no alteration with starvation. The activities of both enzymes correlated positively with each other and with beta-oxidation, and inversely with membrane polarization. Malonyl-CoA had little effect on gross membrane fluidity in the Zucker rat, as reflected by diphenylhexatriene fluorescence polarization. The results indicate that both enzymes are related and respond similarly to alterations in membrane fluidity. Membrane fluidity may provide a mechanism for co-ordinated control of CPT activity on both sides of the mitochondrial inner membrane.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DX) was found to inhibit the incorporation of [1-14C]linoleic acid and [1(3)-3H]glycerol into the major membrane phosphoglycerides, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine of cultured myocardial cells in a dose-dependent manner (0.16-16 microM). It is suggested that DX affects de novo biosynthesis of these lipids. In contrast, DX-treatment of the cells stimulated incorporation of [1-14C]linoleic acid into triacylglycerol. The effects of DX on lipid metabolism were only demonstrable 20-24 hr after a 1 hr exposure of the cells to the drug indicating that DX exerts little or no direct effect on the enzymes participating in lipid synthesis and that the alterations in lipid metabolism induced by DX probably are secondary to inhibition of protein synthesis and progressive cell injury. Extensive peroxidative decomposition of membrane lipids appeared not to take place in the DX-treated cells as judged from fatty acid analysis of total membrane phosphoglyceride.

Abstract
Although ethanol is known to exert its primary mode of action on the central nervous system, the exact molecular interaction underlying the behavioral and physiological manifestations of alcohol intoxication has not been elucidated. Chronic ethanol administration results in changes in organ functions. These changes are reflective of the adaptive mechanisms in response to the acute effects of ethanol. Biophysical studies have shown that ethanol in vitro disorders the membrane and perturbs the fine structural arrangement of the membrane lipids. In the chronic state, these membranes develop resistance to the disordering effects. Tolerance development is also accompanied by biochemical changes. Although ethanol-induced changes in membrane lipids have been implicated in both biophysical and biochemical studies, measurements of membrane lipids, such as cholesterol content, fatty acid unsaturation, phospholipid distribution, and ganglioside profiles, have not produced conclusive evidence that any of these parameters are directly involved in the action of ethanol. On the other hand, there is increasing evidence indicating that although ethanol in vitro produces a membrane-fluidizing effect, the chronic response to this effect is not to change the membrane bulk lipid composition. Instead, changes in membrane lipids may pertain to small metabolically active pools located in certain subcellular fractions. Most likely, these lipids are involved in important membrane functions. For example, the increase in PS in brain plasma membranes may provide an explanation for the adaptive increase in synaptic membrane ion transport activity, especially (Na,K)-ATPase. There is also evidence that the lipid pool involved in the deacylation-reacylation mechanism (i.e., PI and PC with 20:4 groups) is altered after ethanol administration. An increase in metabolic turnover of these phospholipid pools may have important implications for the membrane functional changes. Obviously, there are other lipid-metabolizing enzyme systems that may exert similar effects but have not yet been investigated in detail. From the results of these studies, it is concluded that the multiple actions of ethanol are associated with changes in enzymic systems important in the functional expression of the membranes.

Abstract
The relationship between the body temperature (Tb), the Arrhenius critical temperature (T*), and the apparent activation energy above T* (Ea1), of liver and heart mitochondrial respiratory enzymes from eleven homeothermic and eight heterothermic species was determined using a linear regression analysis. An inverse relation was observed between T* and Ea1 during torpor and hibernation. In all thermoregulatory states, T* decreased with Tb and T* was equal to or below Tb. During torpor Ea1 increased in a linear manner as Tb was lowered. It appears that the above Arrhenius parameters are closely linked to the thermoregulatory state of endotherms and thus may represent an adaptation for function at low Tb's.

Abstract
Diets in which both the lipid content and composition (polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio) were varied were fed to rats for 20 weeks, and the effects on the tissue lipid profiles were determined. The fatty acid profile of the plasma lipids, and the phospholipid fatty acids of the mitochondrial and microsomal fractions of liver, heart, kidney and brain, as well as erythrocyte membranes were determined. Despite large differences in the level and type of lipid present in the experimental diets and in the proportion of saturated fatty acids in the plasma lipids in response to the various diets, there was little effect on the proportion of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids in the phospholipids of the various membranes examined. The major effect of altering the dietary level of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids was on the ratio of the omega 6/omega 3 series of unsaturated fatty acids in the membrane lipids. This change occurred in all tissues except the brain, in which only a small response to altered dietary lipid intake was observed. The omega 6/omega 3 ratio was elevated upon feeding a diet rich in omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, but decreased when a diet rich in saturated fatty acids was fed. The failure to significantly alter membrane lipid saturation/unsaturation in the tissues examined would suggest that a homeostatic mechanism is operative in biological membranes and may act to buffer membranes from the effects of changes in the nature of the dietary lipid intake.

Abstract
The effects of different dietary fat intake on the lipid composition and enzyme behaviour of sarcolemmal (Na+ + K+)ATPase and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase from rat heart were investigated. Rat diets were supplemented with either sunflower seed oil (unsatd./satd. 5.6) or sheep kidney fat (unsatd./satd. 0.8). Significant changes in the phospholipid fatty acid composition were observed in both membranes after 9 weeks dietary lipid treatment. For both membranes, the total saturated/unsaturated fatty acid levels were unaffected by the dietary lipid treatment, however the proportions of the major unsaturated fatty acids were altered. Animals fed the sunflower seed oil diet exhibited an increase in n-6 fatty acids, including linoleic (18:2(n-6] and arachidonic (20:4(n-6] while the sheep kidney fat dietary rats were higher in n-3 fatty acids, principally docosahexaenoic (22:6), with the net result being a higher n-6/n-3 ratio in the sunflower seed oil group compared to sheep kidney fat dietary animals. Fluorescence polarization indicated that the fluidity of sarcoplasmic reticular membrane was greater than that of sarcolemmal membrane, with a dietary lipid-induced decrease in fluidity being observed in the sarcoplasmic reticular membrane from sheep kidney fat dietary animals. Despite these significant changes in membrane composition and physical properties, neither the specific activity nor the temperature-activity relationship (Arrhenius profile) of the associated ATPases were altered. These results suggest that with regard to the parameters measured in this study, the two ion-transporting ATPases are not modulated by changes which occur in the membrane lipid composition as a result of the diet.

Abstract
Rats and marmosets were fed different lipid supplemented diets and the phospholipid fatty acid composition and the respiration rate of liver and heart mitochondria were determined. For both species, diets of differing lipid saturation had little effect on the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids in the mitochondrial membranes, however the omega 6/omega 3 unsaturated fatty acid ratio was significantly altered by diets of different lipid saturation. In comparison to animals fed low fat diets, mitochondrial respiration in the marmoset was reduced by high fat diets irrespective of the dietary level of lipid saturation. This effect of high fat diets on mitochondrial respiration was not observed for the rat.

Abstract
Diets supplemented with relatively high levels of either saturated fatty acids derived from sheep kidney fat (sheep kidney fat diet) or unsaturated fatty acids derived from sunflower seed oil (sunflower seed oil diet) were fed to rats for a period of 16 weeks and changes in the thermotropic behaviour of liver and heart mitochondrial lipids were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The diets induced similar changes in the fatty acid composition in both liver and heart mitochondrial lipids, the major change being the omega 6 to omega 3 unsaturated fatty acid ratio, which was elevated in mitochondria from animals on the sunflower seed oil diet and lowered with the mitochondria from the sheep kidney fat dietary animals. When examined by DSC, aqueous buffer dispersions of liver and heart mitochondrial lipids exhibited two independent, reversible phase transitions and in some instances a third highly unstable transition. The dietary lipid treatments had their major effect of the temperature at which the lower phase transition occurred, there being an inverse relationship between the transition temperature and the omega 6 to omega 3 unsaturated fatty acid ratio. No significant effect was observed for the temperature of the higher phase transition. These results indicate that certain domains of mitochondrial lipids, probably containing some relatively higher melting-point lipids, independently undergo formation of the solidus or gel phase and this phenomenon is not greatly influenced by the lipid composition of the mitochondrial membranes. Conversely, other domains, representing the bulk of the membrane lipids and which probably contain the relatively lower melting point lipids, undergo solidus phase formation at temperatures which reflect changes in the membrane lipid composition which are in turn, a reflection of the nature of the dietary lipid intake. These lipid phase transitions do not appear to correlate directly with those events considered responsible for the altered Arrhenius kinetics of various mitochondrial membrane-associated enzymes.
