The objective of the study was to determine the effects of oxidized linoleic acid (Ox-LA) on plasma leptin and to determine the relationship between plasma leptin levels and atherosclerosis in animals treated with Ox-LA. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor knockout (LDL r(-/-)) mice were fed a high fat diet with or without Ox-LA for 11 weeks. Plasma leptin levels in the high fat group consuming Ox-LA were significantly higher (14,052 ± 601 pg/mL vs. 10,950 ± 541 pg/mL; P < .01) compared to the group receiving the high fat diet alone. There was a highly significant correlation between the plasma leptin levels and aortic atherosclerotic lesions. From this we conclude that chronic exposure to dietary Ox-LA increases the plasma levels of leptin in LDL r(-/-) mice on a high fat diet. Considering our previous finding that dietary Ox-LA increased atherosclerosis, the current findings emphasize the need to reduce dietary intake of oxidized fat.
本研究旨在确定氧化亚油酸(Ox-LA)对血浆瘦素的影响,并确定在给予 Ox-LA 的动物中血浆瘦素水平与动脉粥样硬化之间的关系。用高脂饮食喂养载脂蛋白 E 基因敲除(apoE(-/-)) 小鼠,同时给予或不给予 Ox-LA,共 11 周。高脂饮食组中摄入 Ox-LA 的血浆瘦素水平显著升高(14052±601 pg/ml 比 10950±541 pg/ml;P<0.01)。血浆瘦素水平与主动脉粥样硬化病变之间存在高度显著的相关性。由此我们得出结论,慢性摄入膳食 Ox-LA 可增加高脂饮食的 apoE(-/-) 小鼠血浆瘦素水平。考虑到我们之前发现膳食 Ox-LA 可增加动脉粥样硬化,目前的发现强调需要减少膳食氧化脂肪的摄入。
