Time course changes in total lipid content and fatty acid distribution in various tissues of young chickens after feeding rapeseed oil or soybean oil.

1. In chicks fed rations containing 15% rapeseed oil (RSO) or soybean oil (SBO) a gradual increase in the lipid content of heart tissue was found from 1 to 10 days of age. The finding that feeding high levels of RSO to chicks did not cause excessive accumulation of fat in cardiac tissue supports the contention that it is inappropriate to extrapolate from one species to another (e.g. from rats to humans) as has been done by some workers with respects to RSO utilization. 2. Inclusion of RSO in the ration caused an increase in the total omega-9-monounsaturated fatty acid concentration in heart tissue. The increase in C 20:1 fatty acid concentration in heart tissue noted in the RSO-fed chicks suggests beta-oxidation of erucic acid (delta13 22:1) to eicosenoic acid (delta11 20:1). The rapid decrease in the oleic acid (delta9 18:1) concentration of liver tissue of chicks found during the period 1 to 10 days of age suggests the importance of oleic acid as a source of energy for the chicken.

Fat overload with a 10% soybean oil emulsion.

A 10% soybean oil emulsion (Intralipid) has been demonstrated to be an effective means of delivering an adequate caloric intake via a peripheral vein. This emulsion has generally been considered safe and free of significant complications. This is a report of a child who initially thrived on this intravenously administered fat emulsion, then suddenly developed a lifethreatening intolerance to the infusion, which appeared to be the "fat overload syndrome." This syndrome, seen frequently with earlier fat emulsions, has not been reported previously as a complication of the 10% soybean oil emulsion.

Inhibition of in vitro synthesis of the second (C2) and fourth (C4) components of complement in guinea pig peritoneal macrophages by a soybean oil emulsion.

Recently a soybean oil emulsion (Intralipid) (IL) has been released in the United States for use as a parenteral nutrient. The study reported here was undertaken to determine the effect of ingestion of IL on the synthesis and secretion of the second (C2) and fourth (C4) components of complement by guinea pig peritoneal macrophages in vitro. Cells exposed to IL had extensive Oil Red 0-positive granular-appearing accumulations of neutral lipid within the cytoplasm. Control cells did not stain with Oil Red 0. Incubation of the cells with concentrations of IL from 2.3--37.5 mg/100 ml resulted in a significant decrease in the production of both C2 and C4, which could not be explained by variability between plates. The decrease in total C2 or C4 production by cells incubated with IL for 4 hr was similar to the decrease in production by cells incubated with IL for 48 hr. Several lines of evidence indicated that the decrease of C2 or C4 was the result of decreased synthesis of these proteins and not interference of IL with the detection of the proteins or their secretion from the cells. Exposure of the cells to IL at all concentrations caused reduction of the number of cells having pseudopodia and a rounding-up of the cells. IL did not affect the rate of detachment of the cells from the plates through the 48-hr incubation period or the ability of the cells to exclude trypan blue. Total protein synthesis and total lysozyme production by control and IL-treated cells was similar.

Cardiopathogenicity of soybean oil and tower rapeseed oil triglycerides when fed to male rats.

The triglycerides of soybean oil were purified by molecular distillation and those of Tower rapeseed oil by molecular distillation and adsorption chromatography. The original oils and the purified triglycerides were incorporated in semisynthetic diets at 20% by weight and fed for 16 weeks to weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats to compare the nutritional and pathological effects of the oils and their triglyceride fractions on rats. The study was carried out at two independent laboratories. No significant differences were observed between the results of the two establishments. The incidence of myocardial lesions was significantly higher in rats fed Tower rapeseed oil than in those fed soybean oil. Purification of the triglycerides by molecular distillation and adsorption chromatography appeared to have no major effect on the incidence of myocardial lesions. This supports our previous findings that the cardiopathogenicity appeared to have no major effect on the incidence of myocardial lesions. This supports our previous findings that the cardiopathogenicity of the test oils to rats resides in the triglycerides of these oils.

Growth of common bacteria and Candida albicans in 10% soybean oil emulsion.

Bacterial and fungal growth in 10% soybean oil emulsion (Intralipid) and 5% fibrin hydrolysate in 5% dextrose was studied at 4, 25 and 37 degrees C. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Str. fecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans were grown in broth at 37 degrees C, diluted in saline and inoculated into each of the two preparations as well as a mixture of the two. Growth was measured at 24, 48 and 72 hours. In 10% soybean emulsion, all bacteria except S. pyogenes multiplied, but in fibrin hydrolysate-dextrose solution the only organism of those studied to grow was S. aureus. In the hydrolysate-dextrose-lipid mixture, all organisms multiplied except S. pyogenes and P. aeruginosa. C. albicans grew in all solutions tested. While at 4 degrees C, organisms did not multiply. The fibrin hydrolysate-dextrose solutions given by infusion into a central vein for hyperalimentation have been shown to support predominantly fungal growth, and contamination of the solution and ultimately of the indwelling catheter is a constant hazard. Because both bacteria and C. albicans grew equally well in 10% soybean oil emulsion, its use as a caloric source when infused into a central vein may increase the occurrence of sepsis. When this emulsion is used to provide essential fatty acids or calories, it should be given via a peripheral vein, so that a central catheter will not be contaminated.

Clinical use of 10% soybean oil emulsion.

The pharmaceutical and therapeutic aspects of the use of 10% soybean oil emulsion in total parenteral nutrition (TPN) are reviewed. The composition of the commercial preparation (intralipid), comparison with cottonseed oil emulsion, advantages and disadvantages of use, metabolism, toxicity, therapeutic monitoring, clinical uses, and evaluative studies are discussed. Soybean oil emulsion is a useful source of calories and essential fatty acids in TPN. The product is more expensive than other solutions used in TPN. Woybean oil emulsion should be considered for use in small hospitals and in home therapy because of the advantage of peripheral administration.

Studies of the toxicity of an intravenous fat emulsion. i. Hematologic changes and survival after administration of a soybean oil (FE-S15) in beagles.

The potential toxicity of FE-S15 (B. Braun-Melsungen), a soybean-oil fat emulsion used in parenteral nutrition, was studied in dogs. Forty pure-bred beagles, in two experimental groups (FE-S15 at 9 and 4 g/kg/day) and two corresponding control groups (receiving Dextrose-Ringer's solution), were given daily infusions for 28 days via a central venous catheter. Vital signs and hematologic, biochemical, and bacteriologic changes were monitored closely. When compared with control groups, no significant weight loss was observed in either group; the food intake decreased only in animals receiving fat in high doses. Hemoglobin and hematocrit decreased in all groups during infusion, the greatest fall observed in the group receiving high-dose fat infusion where the hematocrit declined from 45.5% to 31.7%. This decrease was significantly different from the controls only during one observation period. Clinical signs, such as lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite and fever were observed infrequently in both experimental and control animals, more often in those treated with high-dose fat infusion. It appears that the fat emulsion FE-S15 causes only minor side effects but otherwise is well tolerated in dogs at a potentially toxic level.

Studies of the toxicity of an intravenous fat emulsion. II. Blood chemical changes after administration of a soybean oil (FE-S15) in beagles.

Biochemical changes were monitored during fat infusion as part of an evaluation of the toxicity that accompanies the intravenous administration of a new soybean oil emulsion in dogs. Beagles were given FE-S15 at 9 and 4 g/kg/day for 28 days via a central venous catheter. The total serum lipid, triglyceride, and phospholipid concentrations of the animals receiving fat in high doses increased 3 to 4 times in comparison to that of the control group; cholesterol increased 5 times. The rise of serum lipid fractions was proportionally smaller in animals receiving the low dose fat infusion. All values returned to the control range 2 wks after termination of the infusion. The serum protein level fell from 6.5 to 5.1 g/dl in animals given 9 g/kg/day fat while animals receiving 4 g/kg/day had a significant increase to 8.4 g/dl (day 27). In comparison with the control groups, the animals receiving low dose fat infusion also had a significant rise in serum albumin and, to a lesser degree, in alpha and beta globulins. A rise in alkaline phosphatase activity was observed in all dogs receiving fat infusion, but was significantly different from the controls only in animals on high dose fat infusion. None of the other monitored biochemical serum values were affected by the administered fat and there was no evidence of disturbance in liver function.

Abnormal lipoprotein appearing in plasma of patients who received a ten percent soybean oil emulsion infusion.

In 42 of 43 surgical patients who received a 10% soybeam oil emulsion (Intralipid), abnormal lipoprotein was detected in their plasma 1 to 2 days after the initial Intralipid infusion. This abnormal lipoprotein was proven to appear as a result of the infusion of soybean oil emulsion regardless of the patient's original diseases, age, sex, liver function, or concomitantly administered solutions. In addition, this abnormal -ipoprotein was found to have various similarities to lipoprotein-X (LP-X) which is found in plasma from patients with obstructive jaundice or familial lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency. Therefore, this abnormal lipoprotein was tentatively named LP-X--like substance (LP-X-LS). A comparison of the properties of LP-X and LP-X-LS was performed and the following results were obtained: (1) LP-X-LS migrated toward the cathode on Bacto-Agar gel electrophoresis similarly to LP-X; (2) the stability of LP-X and LP-X-LS against heating and freezing were almost equal under various conditions; (3) LP-X-LS could be absorbed by anti--LP-X serum; (4) LP-X-LS existed in low density fraction (d = 1.063) separated by ultracentrifugation from plasma; (5) electron microscopic study of low-density lipoprotein particles from LP-X-LS positive plasma revealed that LP-X-LS had a similar ultrastructure to LP-X. From these results it is suggested that LP-X-LS is an abnormal lipoprotein quite similar to LP-X.

The effects of a 10% soybean oil emulsion on lymphocyte transformation.

Free essential fatty acids (EFA) are reported to suppress cell-mediated immunity. Because Intralipid contains a high concentration of esterified EFA, the effects of this emulsion on in vitro lymphocyte transformation were studied. Intralipid concentrations of 11.5, 115, and 230 mg% in lymphocyte cultures increased phytohemagglutinin (PHA) stimulation by an average of 8.2% (not significant [NS]), 18.1% (p < 0.01), and 11.8% (NS), respectively. These same concentrations also increased Varidase stimulation in lymphocyte cultures by an average of 11.3 (p < 0.02), 18.9 (p < 0.02), and 4.4% (NS), respectively. Control wells did not demonstrate allergic reactions to Intralipid. These data demonstrate that Intralipid can significantly increase the mitogenic response of human thymic lymphocytes and the antigenic response of human lymphocytes, in vitro.

Alteration of the structure and function of guinea pig peritoneal macrophages by a soybean oil emulsion.

Studies in humans who have received Intralipid (IL) have demonstrated the presence of a fat pigment and fat droplets in reticuloendothelial phagocytic cells. Clinical data and in vitro studies suggest that these cells do not function normally. We have studied the effect of IL on the morphology and function of guinea pig peritoneal macrophages in vitro. Starch-induced macrophages were exposed to IL for up to 48 hours. Ingestion of increasing amounts of IL over the 48-hour period was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and by oil red O stain. The uptake of the IL was associated with marked morphologic changes characterized by a decreased ability of the cells to spread and by a decrease in the number and degree of complexity of the membrane ruffles. The ingestion of IL also resulted in decreased capacity of the cells to associate with latex beads (5.7 mu in diameter) or Candida albicans and decreased capacity to adhere to and ingest sheep erythrocytes coated with IgG. After ingestion of latex beads 0.46 mu in diameter, which are similar in size to IL particles, macrophages had normal morphology and function, indicating that neither the morphologic nor functional abnormalities were due to a nonspecific effect of ingestion of small particles. Alterations of human reticuloendothelial macrophage function similar to the effects observed here could compromise host defense against infection.

Effects of edible oils on blood and arterial lipids in rats after one year's balanced normolipidic diet.

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed during one year with diets containing 12% of one of the following fats: butter, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, palm oil, canbra oil and arachid oil. Total serum cholesterol was lower in the arachid, suflower and butter groups and higher in the palm and hydrogenated soybean groups (p less than 0.01); serum cholesterol esters were lower in the arachid, sunflower and soybean groups, but higher in the palm and hydrogenated soybean groups ( p less than 0.01). Serum triglycerides were lower in the sunflower and arachid groups and higher in the butter and palm groups (p less than 0.01). There was a positive, significant correlation between serum cholesterol and phospholipids in the various groups. In aortas, free cholesterol levels were the same in different groups, but cholesterol ester levels increased in the following order: canbra, butter, arachid, palm, sunflower, rapeseed, hydrogenated soybean and soybean red groups (p less than 0.01). There was a significant correlation between aorta cholesterol esters and the ratio 18:0 + 18:1 of the dietary fat (r = 0.69; p less than 0.001).

Balanced intraintestinal nutrition: comparison of absorption degree of selected fats and emulsions of fats.

The absorption of emulsion of soybean oil, soybean oil and molted butter was compared with that of the Intralipid preparation manufactured by Vitrum. The experiments were carried out on a dog and rats using the method of isolated intestinal fistulae. It was found that the emulsion of soybean oil prepared by the authors was absorbed in a degree similar to that of Intralipid fat emulsion and that it could be used as a component of a preparation intended for balanced non-residual intraintestinal nutrition.

Physiopathological effects of rapeseed oil: a review.

Rapeseed oil has a growth retarding effect in animals. Some investigators claim that the high content of erucic acid in rapeseed oil alone causes this effect, while others consider the low ratio saturated/monounsaturated fatty acids in rapeseed oil to be a contributory factor. Normally erucic acid is not found or occurs in traces in body fat, but when the diet contains rapeseed oil erucic acid is found in depot fat, organ fat and milk fat. Erucic acid is metabolized in vivo to oleic acid. The effects of rapeseed oil on reproduction and adrenals, testes, ovaries, liver, spleen, kidneys, blood, heart and skeletal muscles have been investigated. Fatty infiltration in the heart muscle cells has been observed in the species investigated. In long-term experiments in rats erucic acid produces fibrosis of the myocardium. Erucic acid lowers the respiratory capacity of the heart mitochondria. The reduction of respiratory capacity is roughly proportional to the content of erucic acid in the diet, and diminishes on continued administration of erucic acid. The lifespan of rats is the same on corn oil, soybean oil, coconut oil, whale oil and rapeseed oil diet. Rats fed a diet with erucic acid or other docosenoic acids showed a lowered tolerance to cold stress (+4 degrees C). In Sweden erucic acid constituted 3-4% of the average intake of calories up to 1970 compared with about 0.4% at present.
