Rats were fed Chow (C; low-fat control) or a purified high-fat (30% of calories) low cholesterol diet containing menhaden oil (MO), corn oil (CO) or lard (L) for 2, 4 or 6 weeks. Rats were killed after an overnight fast. MO-fed rats had a larger weight/body weight that was accompanied by a lower mg
This study aimed to compare lymphatic absorption of conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) in the triacylglycerol (TAG) or free fatty acid (FFA) form and to examine the antiobesity effects of different doses of CLAs in the TAG form in animals. Conjugated linoleic TAGs (containing 70.3 wt% CLAs; CLA-TAG)
OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to investigate the effects of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) at high-fat (HF) levels on parameters related to triacylglycerol (TG) regulation and some potential impacts on liver damage.
METHODS
Growing mice were fed a control diet (7% corn oil), an HF diet containing
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) has been implicated as a key control of fatty acid catabolism during the cellular fasting. However, little is known regarding changes of individual fatty acids in hepatic triacylglycerol (TG) and phospholipid (PL) as a result of
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease. Here we show that a mouse model of haploinsufficiency in the lipid and protein phosphatase and tensin homolog protein (PTEN(+/-)) exhibits hepatomegaly, increased liver lipogenic gene expression (SREBP-1C and
The source of free fatty acids (FFA) and the pathways contributing to the accumulation of neutral fats in livers of rats fed a cholesterol-enriched diet were investigated in this report. Supplementation with 1% cholesterol in the diet for four weeks resulted in hepatomegaly in the rats. The contents
The effects of dietary isohumulones, the main components accounting for the bitter taste of beer, on lipid metabolism were examined. Young female C57BL/6N mice were fed diets containing isomerized hop extract (IHE), which consists mainly of isohumulones. Administration of IHE with an atherogenic
Sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27) participates in the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. We examined lipid metabolism in mice lacking the Cyp27 gene. On normal rodent chow, Cyp27(-/-) mice have 40% larger livers, 45% larger adrenals, 2-fold higher hepatic and plasma triacylglycerol concentrations,
Carbohydrate response element-binding protein (ChREBP) has an important role in the carbohydrate-mediated regulation of hepatic de novo lipogenesis, but the mechanism for how it regulates plasma triacylglycerol (TAG) levels has not been established. This study aimed to clarify the role of ChREBP in
BACKGROUND
Evidences suggest that commercial and natural conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) differentially affect nutritional status and lipid metabolism.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the differential effect of two types of CLA preparations supplemented to dietary fats containing different proportions of
High-sucrose and high-fat diets induce deregulation in the metabolism of lipids and carbohydrates. This study aimed to detect the initial consequences on lipogenesis, gluconeogenesis and insulin signaling in the livers of rodents fed high-fat and/or high-sucrose diets for a short period of time.
Feeding mice conjugated linoleic acid (9 cis,11 trans/9 trans,11 cis-and 10 trans,12 cis-CLA in equal amounts) resulted in triacylglycerol accumulation in the liver. The objective of this study was to examine whether this steatosis is associated with changes in hepatic fatty acid synthesis and
Fibrates have been used clinically to treat dyslipidemias, including chronic renal failure (CRF)-related hypertriacylgliceridemia. In addition to their effects on plasma triacylglycerol concentration, fibrates also induce hepatomegaly (due to peroxisome proliferation) and increase liver malic enzyme
The study aimed to evaluate the consequences of the consumption of a high-fructose diet (HFR; fructose was responsible for 45% of the energy from carbohydrates) by the mother, the father, or both on C57BL/6 adult male offspring. Non-consanguineous parents received the diet (HFR or control, C) from 8
Lysosomal lipase deficiency is a hereditary autosomal recessive enzymopathy leading to lysosomal storage of triacylglycerols (TAG) and cholesterol esters (CE). In particular cells with a permanently high receptor-mediated LDL endocytosis are affected (liver, kidneys). There are two basic phenotypes.
