Intestinal condition and ethanol toxicity have been discussed as predictors of alcoholic liver damage. In this study, we investigated the association of hepatic antioxidant enzymes and cecal condition, including intestinal bacteria estimated by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP), in the early stage of alcoholic fatty liver. Three liquid isocaloric diets, control (CT) diet, ethanol (ET) diet, or ethanol diet including modified beet fiber (MBF), were prepared and administered to rats for 4 weeks. At 4 weeks, the plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in the ET group were higher and that in MBF groups tended to be higher than the CT group, but endotoxin was not detected in the portal vein in any of the samples. The hepatic thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) concentration in the MBF group was higher than that in the CT group. Hepatic cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) was induced in ethanol-fed rats. The hepatic catalase levels in the ET and MBF groups were lower than that in the CT group. The hepatic superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD-2) level did not differ among the groups. Plasma ALT level and/or hepatic TBARS level correlated positively with CYP2E1 and negatively with catalase level and SOD-2 level. Indicators of cecal condition, including the bacterial population estimated by T-RFLP, may not give any explanation for the hepatic damage. In conclusion, the hepatic CYP2E1 induced by ethanol, rather than the cecal conditions, may influence the early stage of alcoholic hepatic damage in rats; hepatic catalase may provide protective effects.

Characterization of Sterol Lipids in Kluyveromyces lactis Strain M-16 Accumulating a High Amount of Steryl Glucoside

Kluyveromyces lactis strain M-16 isolated from raw milk accumulates a high amount of steryl glucoside in the cells. Under high temperature or in the presence of NaCl, this strain did not show better growth than other K. lactis strains that hardly accumulated steryl glucoside. Heat shock elevated the content of steryl glucoside 3.2-fold, which accounted for 27% of the total sterol lipids, and simultaneously reduced that of acyl sterol. Both strains, M-16 and NBRC 1267, contained ergosterol as a principal component, and dihydroergosterol was also included in steryl glucoside of strain M-16. Lanosterol was a major component second to ergosterol in free sterols. In acyl sterol of strain M-16, the proportion of 4,4-dimethylzymosterol was higher than that of ergosterol. Excess synthesis of steryl glucoside in strain M-16 consumes ergosterol and dihydroergosterol in the pool of free sterols, and acyl sterol may inevitably take in 4,4-dimethylzymosterol and 4-methylfecosterol, the intermediates in the biosynthetic pathway to ergosterol, as a component sterol.
