| Popis: | Effects of dietary fish oil ethyl esters and alkyldiacetylglycerols (an ether-linked lipid) on the distribution of subclasses of choline- and ethanolamine-glycerophospholipids as well as effects on highly unsaturated molecular species of ethanolamine plasmalogens from brain, spleen, kidney, lung, and testis of rats were examined. Supplementation of ethyl ester concentrates of n-3 fatty acids had no effect on the distribution of subclasses in any of the tissues. However, the supplements of 1-O-octadec-9'-enyl-2,3-diacetyl-sn-glycerol (diacetates of selachyl alcohol) caused significant increases in the alkylacylglycerophosphocholine and alkylacylglycerophosphoethanolamine subclasses from spleen and lung and in the alkylacylglycerophosphoethanolamine subclass from kidney. Dietary supplements of fish oil ethyl esters reduced the arachidonate-containing species of ethanolamine plasmalogens whereas molecular species having 20:5(n-3), 22:6(n-3), and/or 22:5(n-3) acyl groups were increased in the spleen, lung, and kidneys, but not brain. In testicular tissue from rats fed the fish oil diets, the molecular species of ethanolamine plasmalogens containing 22:5(n-6) acyl groups were reduced. An increase of ethanolamine plasmalogens with 18:1 alk-1-enyl moieties paired with highly unsaturated sn-2 acyl groups were found in the tissues of rats fed the fish oil plus selachyl alcohol diacetate supplements. Rats on the diet containing fish oil ethyl esters had significantly lower [3H]alkyllysoglycerophosphocholine CoA-independent transacylase activity in spleen microsomes than controls. This suggests that supplements of n-3 fatty acids interferes with the transacylation of arachidonate, an event that could seriously impair the release of arachidonate and lysophospholipids (e.g., lyso-PAF) that are precursors of potent bioactive lipid derivatives. |
