Effect of dietary eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid on expression of rat liver genes controlling cholesterol homeostasis and on plasma cholesterol level

Abstract: A hypothesis that eicosapentaenoic acid + docosahexaenoic acid (EPA+DHA) lower plasma cholesterol via increased expression of the Insig-1 gene with ensuing decrease of expression of genes coding for 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase (Hmgcr) and low density lipoprotein receptor (Ldlr) was tested in rats fed a diet with 3% of fish oil (FO). Expression of the Insig-1 gene in the liver of the FO-fed rats was 730% (P < 0.05) of the control. However, contrary to the hypothesis, expression of the Hmgcr gene a… Show more

“…The effect of fish oil on total plasma cholesterol found out in the present experiment (significant decrease in comparison with the palm oil control; Figure 1) agrees with the results of our previous experiment in rats (Komprda et al 2014). However, a response of pigs (present experiment) and rats (Komprda et al 2014) on dietary fish oil in comparison with palm oil was totally different as far as plasma TAG are concerned: no difference ( Figure 1) and a substantial (twofold) decrease, respectively.…”

An explanation is likely based on the differences between rats and pigs in a response to PUFA n-3 as natural ligands of various isoforms of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR); rats and pigs are labelled in this context as proliferating and non-proliferating species, respectively (Komprda 2012).…”

“…2), fish oil in the rat diet decreased plasma TC also in most recent studies (e.g. Lu et al 2011;Campioli et al 2012;Komprda et al 2014). The TC value established in the present experiment after feeding the F1 diet (0.98 mmol·l -1 ) is the same as found in the experiment of Takahashi (2011).…”

“…Total plasma cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triacylglycerols were determined according to Komprda et al (2014) by the enzymatic-colorimetric method using an automated chemical analyser BS-200 (Mindray, China) and commercial kits (Greiner Diagnostic GmbH, Germany). C -control diet (basic feed mixture for mice and rats with 7% [w/w] of maize starch); T -basic feed mixture with 20% of beef tallow + 40% of evaporated sweetened milk + 2 % of extra vitamins/minerals premix; P -basic feed mixture with 5% of palm oil; SF -basic feed mixture with 5% of safflower oil; S -basic feed mixture with 5% of salmon oil; F -basic feed mixture with 5% of fish oil (commercial oleum jecoris aselli); A -basic feed mixture with 5% of oil extracted from the Schizochytrium microalga…”
