Abstract:
:Despite numerous studies, the precise role of dietary n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis remains controversial. It has been shown that feeding an n-6-enriched diet resulted in decreased atherosclerosis in African green monkeys and was associated with a reduction in LDL levels. However, other authors reported that n-6 supplementation increased the oxidative stress and the susceptibility of LDL to undergo in vitro oxidation, thus potentially enhancing atherosclerosis. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of n-6 polyunsaturated fats (safflower oil), as compared with a saturated fat-rich diet (Paigen), on the blood lipid profile and atherosclerosis in two mouse models. In the first experiment, female C57BL/6 mice (n=23-30 per group) were fed a cholate containing Paigen diet, a safflower oil-rich diet (with cholate), or normal chow for 15 weeks. No significant differences between the high fat diet groups were evident with respect to total cholesterol, LDL, HDL or triglyceride levels. The extent of aortic sinus fatty streaks did not differ significantly between the two groups. In the second experiment, LDL-receptor-deficient (LDL-RD) mice (n=20-30 per group) were randomized into similar dietary regimens. Mice consuming a safflower oil-enriched diet developed significantly less atherosclerosis, in comparison with Paigen diet-fed mice. A reduction in LDL levels, although not of a similar magnitude as the reduction in atherosclerosis, was evident in the safflower oil-fed mice when compared to the Paigen diet-fed littermates. In both mouse models of atherosclerosis, LDL isolated from the plasma of mice on the n-6 polyunsaturated diet was rendered slightly more susceptible to oxidation in vitro, as indicated by a shorter lag period for diene formation. Thus, the effects of n-6 fatty acids on the lipoprotein composition and other potential influences may have contributed to the anti-atherogenic effect in the LDL-RD mouse model.
