Long-term high fructose and saturated fat diet affects plasma fatty acid profile in rats

Abstract: Abstract:As the consumption of fructose and saturated fatty acids (FAs) has greatly increased in western diets and is linked with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a moderate (10 weeks) and a prolonged (30 weeks) high fructose and saturated fatty acid (HFS) diet on plasma FA composition in rats. The effects of a few weeks of HFS diet had already been described, but in this paper we tried to establish whether these effects persist or if they are mod… Show more

“…After 10 weeks of diet the body weight of HFS, HFS+C and control rats was similar in agreement with previous researches [ 22 , 23 ] while a significant increase of relative liver weight was observed in both HFS groups. Compared to control, high fructose and saturated fatty acids diets were associated with a significant increase of glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol and insulin and HOMA-IR levels ( Table 2 ).…”

“…In all experimental groups, the major plasma FA were: palmitic (16:0), palmitoleic (16:1n-7), stearic (18:0), oleic (18:1n-9), cis-vaccenic (18:1n-7), linoleic acid (18:2n-6), arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3 or DHA) ( Table 4 ). The change in FA composition between the controls and the HFS group was fully described in a previous study [ 22 ]. Basically, it was observed in the HFS group an increased activity of the delta-9 (Δ9D) and delta-6-desaturase (Δ6D), and a decrease of the delta-5-desaturase (Δ5D), as seen by the 20:4n-6/20:3n-6 ratio, in addition to the depletion of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-6 PUFA), 18:2n-6 and its elongation and desaturation product, 20:4n-6.…”

“…In general, the change in liver FA composition between the controls and the HFS group was similar to that previously described 7, 21 for serum. In short, a significant decrease of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA, −27%) was observed in the HFS group while monounsatured fatty acids (MUFA) were increased (2 fold).…”
