Results presented in this study emphasize the long-term effects of dietary fatty acid chain length on some biochemical parameters of the liver in the growing rat. High levels of medium-chain fatty acids feeding (C8 : 0 and C12 : 0) from 40 to 340 g of body weight induced liver growth and lipid contents intermediary between values recorded with a lipid-free diet and with a diet containing long-chain fatty acids. No steatosis was recorded but neutral lipid contents appeared to be correlated with the dietary fatty acid chain length while phospholipid contents remained much more stable. In the four tested nutritional conditions, only dodecanoic or lauric acid (C12: 0) feeding induced important alterations in the fatty acid pattern of liver neutral lipids. Medium-chain fatty acids, and even lauric acid which was intensely esterified in adipose tissue triglycerides, did not appreciably modify the fatty acid composition of liver phospholipids and were not esterified in it. |
