The fatty acid composition of phospholipids plays a key role in the structural and functional properties of cellular membrane. In this study, it was hypothesized that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomer supplementation changes the unsaturation degree of the fatty acids of neutral lipids (NLs) but not those of polar lipids (PLs). Thus, the main goal was to determine the pattern of fatty acid incorporation into hepatic PL and NL fractions. Wistar male rats were fed cis(c)9,trans(t)11 and t10,c12 CLA isomers, separately or as a mixture. Whereas the t10,c12 isomer incorporation in the PL fraction was similar when supplemented either individually or as a mixture, the c9,t11 isomer reached the highest values of incorporation when combined with t10,c12. In the PL fraction, the linoleic acid did not change; but the arachidonic acid decreased, especially in the rats given the mixture. Also in this fraction, the t10,c12 isomer, either separately or as a mixture, decreased the amounts of n-6 long-chain (LC) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and increased those of the n-3 LC PUFA relative to the control. In the NL fraction, linoleic acid incorporation followed the diet composition, whereas the arachidonic acid was similar among treatments. Facing CLA isomer supplementation, the present study suggests that fatty acid incorporation into phospholipids, through the balance between n-6 and n-3 LC PUFA, is dependent upon maintaining the unsaturation degree of cellular membrane.
磷脂的脂肪酸组成在细胞膜的结构和功能特性中起着关键作用。在本研究中,假设共轭亚油酸(CLA)异构体补充会改变中性脂质(NL)中脂肪酸的不饱和程度,但不会改变极性脂质(PL)中脂肪酸的不饱和程度。因此,主要目标是确定脂肪酸掺入肝 PL 和 NL 馏分的模式。雄性 Wistar 大鼠分别或混合喂食顺式(c)9、反式(t)11 和反式(t)10、顺式(c)12 CLA 异构体。当以混合物形式或以混合物形式补充时,t10、c12 异构体在 PL 馏分中的掺入相似,而 c9、t11 异构体与 t10、c12 结合时达到最高掺入值。在 PL 馏分中,亚油酸没有变化;但是花生四烯酸减少了,特别是在给予混合物的大鼠中。在该馏分中,t10、c12 异构体无论是单独补充还是混合补充,都降低了 n-6 长链(LC)多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)的含量,增加了 n-3 LC PUFA 的含量,与对照组相比。在 NL 馏分中,亚油酸的掺入取决于饮食组成,而花生四烯酸在不同处理之间相似。面对 CLA 异构体的补充,本研究表明,通过 n-6 和 n-3 LC PUFA 之间的平衡,将脂肪酸掺入磷脂取决于维持细胞膜的不饱和程度。
