Hydroxocobalamin (HOCbl) is the dominating Cbl form in food, whereas cyanocobalamin (CNCbl) is common in vitamin pills and oral supplements. This study compares single-dose absorption and distribution of oral HO[Co]Cbl and CN[Co]Cbl in Cbl-deficient and normal rats.
Male Wistar rats (7 weeks) were fed a 14-day diet with (n = 15) or without (n = 15) Cbl. We compared the uptakes of HO[Co]Cbl (free or bound to bovine transcobalamin) and free CN[Co]Cbl administered by gastric gavage (n = 5 in each diet group). Rats were sacrificed after 24 h. Blood, liver, kidney, brain, heart, spleen, intestines, skeletal muscle, 24-h urine and faeces were collected, and the content of [Co]Cbl was measured. Endogenous Cbl in tissues and plasma was analysed by routine methods.
Mean endogenous plasma-Cbl was sevenfold lower in deficient vs. normal rats (190 vs. 1330 pmol/L, p < 0.0001). Cbl depletion increased endogenous Cbl ratios (tissue/plasma = k /k ) in all organs except for the kidney, where the ratio decreased considerably. Twenty-four-hour accumulation of labelled Cbl showed that HOCbl > CNCbl (liver) and CNCbl > HOCbl (brain, muscle and plasma).
The Cbl status of rats and the administered Cbl form influence 24-h Cbl accumulation in tissues and plasma.
羟钴胺素(HOCbl)是食物中主要的钴胺素形式,而氰钴胺素(CNCbl)则常见于维生素丸和口服补充剂中。本研究比较了 Cbl 缺乏和正常大鼠单次口服 HO[Co]Cbl 和 CN[Co]Cbl 的吸收和分布。
雄性 Wistar 大鼠(7 周龄)用含(n=15)或不含(n=15)Cbl 的 14 天饮食喂养。我们比较了胃管给予的 HO[Co]Cbl(与牛转钴胺素结合或不结合)和游离 CN[Co]Cbl 的摄取(每组饮食各 5 只)。大鼠在 24 小时后处死。收集血液、肝脏、肾脏、大脑、心脏、脾脏、肠、骨骼肌、24 小时尿液和粪便,并测量[Co]Cbl 含量。用常规方法分析组织和血浆中的内源性 Cbl。
缺乏组大鼠的平均内源性血浆 Cbl 比正常组低 7 倍(190 vs. 1330 pmol/L,p<0.0001)。Cbl 缺乏增加了所有器官(除肾脏外)的内源性 Cbl 比值(组织/血浆=k/k),而肾脏的比值则显著降低。24 小时标记 Cbl 的积累表明 HOCbl>CNCbl(肝脏)和 CNCbl>HOCbl(大脑、肌肉和血浆)。
大鼠的 Cbl 状态和给予的 Cbl 形式影响 24 小时内 Cbl 在组织和血浆中的积累。
