Abstract
Trans fatty acids (TFA) are considered risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), while the details of distribution and metabolism of the individual isomers are not clear. Here we investigated the accumulation and catabolic rate of TFA positional isomers of octadecenoic acid (18:1) in mice. ICR mice were fed deuterium- and [1-(13)C] stable isotope-labeled trans-9-18:1 (9t-18:1*), trans-10-18:1 (10t-18:1*), or trans-11-18:1 (11t-18:1*) for 2 or 4 weeks, or a TFA mixture (9t-18:1*, 10t-18:1*, and 11t-18:1*) for 3 weeks. Analysis of whole-body tissues by gas chromatography-chemical ionization mass spectrometry revealed the highest 9t-18:1* levels in the heart. Significant differences in the accumulation of the respective trans-18:1 were observed in the heart and erythrocytes, where 9t- > 11t- > 10t-18:1*, but no significant difference was observed in the liver or white adipose tissue (WAT). Mice fed on 11t-18:1 demonstrated accumulation of endogenously synthesized conjugated linoleic acid in the liver, WAT, and heart, but any other metabolites were not found in other groups. Furthermore, we analyzed catabolic rates of single-dose-administered trans-18:1* isomers into [(13)C]-labeled CO2 using isotope-ratio mass spectrometry, and the 10t-18:1*catabolic rate was significantly higher than those of 9t- and 11t-18:1*. We found that the accumulation and catabolism of trans-18:1 positional isomers varied in these mice. Differential accumulation in tissues suggests that individual TFA positional isomers may play different roles in human health.

Abstract
It is revealed that binding position of fatty acid in triacylglycerol (TAG) deeply relates to the expression of its function. Therefore, we investigated the binding positions of individual trans-octadecenoic acid (trans-C18:1) positional isomers, known as unhealthy fatty acids, on TAG in partially hydrogenated canola oil (PHCO), milk fat (MF), and beef tallow (BT). The analysis was carried out by the sn-1(3)-selective transesterification of Candida antarctica Lipase B and by using a highly polar ionic liquid capillary column for gas chromatography-flame ionization detection. Trans-9-C18:1, the major trans-C18:1 positional isomer, was selectively located at the sn-2 position of TAG in PHCO, although considerable amounts of trans-9-C18:1 were also esterified at the sn-1(3) position. Meanwhile, trans-11-C18:1, the major isomer in MF and BT, was preferentially located at the sn-1(3) position. These results revealed that the binding position of trans-C18:1 positional isomer varies between various fats and oils.

Abstract
Previous experiments in mice showed that dietary trans-fats could play a role in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) yet little is known about the accumulation trans-fats in hepatic lipid pools in relationship to liver injury. NASH is also associated with obesity yet improves with only modest weight loss. To distinguish the role of obesity versus sustained consumption of a trans-fat containing diet in causing NASH, mice with obesity and NASH induced by consuming a high trans-fat diet for 16 weeks were subsequently fed standard chow or maintained on trans-fat chow for another 8 weeks. The accumulation, partitioning and loss of trans-fats in the major hepatic lipid pools during and after trans-fat consumption were determined. Obese mice switched to standard chow remained obese but steatohepatitis improved. trans-fats were differentially incorporated into the major hepatic lipid pools and the loss of trans-fats after crossover to control chow was greatest in the cholesteryl ester pool. In summary, dietary changes can improve the biochemical and histopathological changes of NASH despite persistent obesity in mice. Analysis of hepatic lipids confirmed that dietary trans-fats accumulate in the major lipid pools and are released differentially with diet normalization. The substantial loss of trans-fats from the cholesteryl ester pool in parallel with improvement in NASH suggests that this pool of trans-fats could play a role in the pathogenesis of NASH.

Abstract
Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) are biologically highly active lipid compounds that have attracted great scientific interest due to their ability to cause either inhibition of atherosclerotic plaque development or even regression of pre-established atherosclerotic plaques in mice, hamsters and rabbits. The underlying mechanisms of action, however, are only poorly understood. Since cell culture experiments are appropriate to gain insight into the mechanisms of action of a compound, the present review summarizes data from cell culture studies about the metabolism and the actions of CLAs on atherosclerosis-related events in endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs), which are important cells contributing to atherosclerotic lesion development. Based on these studies, it can be concluded that CLAs exert several beneficial actions including inhibition of inflammatory and vasoactive mediator release from ECs and SMCs, which may help explain the anti-atherogenic effect of CLAs observed in vivo. The observation that significant levels of CLA metabolites, which have been reported to have significant biological activities, are well detectable in ECs and SMCs indicates that the anti-atherogenic effects observed with CLAs are presumably mediated not only by CLAs themselves but also by their metabolites.

Abstract
In the present study the effects of some C18 fatty acids on hepatic fatty acid metabolism have been compared. Male rats were fed cholesterol-free diets containing either C18:0, C18:1 cis or C18:1 trans isomers as the variables. In accordance with previous work, oleic acid in the diet caused an increase in cholesterol concentration in the liver and in the lipoprotein fraction of density (d; kg/l) < 1.006. Oleic acid also reduced the triacylglycerol:cholesterol value in this fraction. Surprisingly, the C18:1 trans isomers diet induced a decrease in the amount of cholesterol in total plasma as well as in the 1.019 < d < 1.063 lipoprotein fraction. Both oleic acid and C18:1 trans isomers increased the concentration of triacylglycerols in the liver. The two C18:1 fatty acids differently influenced the hepatic activities of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I and 3-hydroxy-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase; both enzymes were inhibited by C18:1 trans isomers, while no change was induced by oleic acid. The activity of the citrate carrier was lower in the oleic acid- and C18:1 trans isomers-fed rats, when compared with the rats fed stearic acid. No diet effects were seen for the activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, fatty acid synthase, diacylglycerol acyltransferase, citrate synthase and phosphofructokinase. The results are interpreted in that oleic acid raised liver triacylglycerol by reducing the secretion of it with the d < 1.006 lipoprotein fraction whereas the C18:1 trans isomers enhanced liver triacylglycerol by lowering the hepatic oxidation of fatty acids.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential nutritional and metabolic impact of trans (t) fatty acids (FA) on an appropriate experimental dietary model. Since previously reported experimental designs have been matter of concern, we developed a dietary model to compare the effect of t isomers and/or the saturation of FA independently of other variables. Wistar rats were fed diets containing identical amounts of nutrients and high levels of dietary fats (200 g/kg) for 30 d. Dietary fat rich in t-FA was compared with fat rich in saturated (s) FA or rich in cis (c) FA, maintaining the same length of C chain of the FA. The fats were obtained through isomerization or hydrogenation of the c-FA present in the control fat. Apparent fat absorption, energy efficiency and triacylglycerol levels in serum and liver were different in rats fed t-FA or s-FA than c-FA. The apparent fat absorption was (%): s-FA 85.7 (sd 3.4)<t-FA 93.1 (sd 0.4)<c-FA 96.7 (sd 1.1) (P<0.05). The efficiency of energy utilization was lower in t-FA (11.7 %) and s-FA (18.5 %) diets, reaching statistical significance only between s-FA and c-FA. A striking finding was the change in the lipid profile in serum and liver. Serum and hepatic triacylglycerol levels were greater for t-FA and s-FA diets than in c-FA; however, the increases on serum triacylglycerol concentrations were greater with the s-FA diet and the increases on hepatic triacylglycerol content were greater with t-FA. Knowledge of the t-FA effects on this kind of experimental dietary model could contribute to determine the potential risk of t-FA intake for man.

Abstract
Production of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) by the intestinal bacteria of dogs and cats was demonstrated by incubating their feces with linoleic acid (LA). CLA accumulated once, and then decreased with time. The numbers of LA-hydrogenating bacteria in the intestines appeared to decrease greatly with the ages of dogs and cats. As a major product of LA biohydrogenation, trans-vaccenic acid (t-VA) was identified. Most CLA and t-VA were readily solubilized by shaking the incubation mixture with bovine serum albumin, which strongly supports the presumption that CLA and t-VA are mostly formed on the outer surface of cell membrane, or excreted to the outer cell surface. This result suggests that CLA and t-VA can readily be absorbed through the large intestines. Triacylglycerol and phospholipid were shown to be hydrolyzed to free fatty acids by fecal bacteria, which is critical for biohydrogenation to occur, because esterified LA is not hydrogenated. However, since the ability of intestinal bacteria to produce CLA is probably low, it is desirable to augment CLA production.

Abstract
Dietary cis,trans-18 : 2 isomers impair desaturation and elongation of linoleic acid (Delta9cis,12cis-18 : 2), but little is known of their proportional partitioning between accumulation and oxidation. The present study was therefore designed to assess the accumulation and apparent oxidation of cis,trans-18 : 2 isomers compared with that of trans-18 : 1 isomers and Delta9cis,12cis-18 : 2 in rats. Accumulation is defined as whole-body increase in a fatty acid during a given period (i.e. final body content-initial body content). The apparent oxidation (disappearance) is defined as whole-body utilization of a fatty acid relative to its intake for a given period (intake-excretion-accumulation-longer-chain products)/intakex100). The animals were fed on a diet containing 15 % (w/w) partially hydrogenated rapeseed oil with 1.72 % energy as cis,trans-18 : 2 isomers and varying amounts of Delta9cis,12cis-18 : 2. The apparent oxidation of total cis,trans-18 : 2 isomers (72-76 % dietary intake) was greater than that of Delta9cis,12cis-18 : 2 (38-51 % dietary intake) but it was similar to that of total trans-18 : 1 isomers (78-82 % dietary intake). Among the four isomers, the apparent oxidation of Delta9trans,12trans-18 : 2 was greater than that of the other isomers including Delta9trans,12cis-18 : 2, Delta9cis,12trans-18 : 2 and Delta9cis,13trans-18 : 2. Accumulation of Delta5cis,8cis,11cis,15trans-20 : 4 and Delta5cis,8cis,11cis,14trans-20 : 4 derived from chain-elongation and desaturation of Delta9cis,13trans-18 : 2 and Delta9cis,12trans-18 : 2 was decreased when the dietary Delta9cis,12cis-18 : 2 supply was increased.

Abstract
Male weanling Wistar rats (n = 15), weighing 200-220 g, were allocated for 6 wk to diets containing 1% (by weight) of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), either as the 9c,11 t-isomer, the 10t,12c-isomer, or as a mixture containing 45% of each of these isomers. The five rats of the control group received 1% of oleic acid instead. Selected enzyme activities were determined in different tissues after cellular subfractionation. None of the CLA-diet induced a hepatic peroxisome-proliferation response, as evidenced by a lack of change in the activity of some characteristic enzymes [i.e., acyl-CoA oxidase, CYP4A1, but also carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I)] or enzyme affected by peroxisome-proliferators (glutathione S-transferase). In addition to the liver, the activity of the rate-limiting beta-oxidation enzyme in mitochondria, CPT-I, did not change either in skeletal muscle or in heart. Conversely, its activity increased more than 30% in the control value in epididymal adipose tissue of the animals fed the CLA-diets containing the 10t,12c-isomer. Conversely, the activity of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase, a rate-limiting enzyme in glycerolipid neosynthesis, remained unchanged in adipose tissue. Kinetic studies conducted on hepatic CPT-I and peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase with CoA derivatives predicted a different channeling of CLA isomers through the mitochondrial or the peroxisomal oxidation pathways. In conclusion, the 10t,12c-CLA isomer seems to be more efficiently utilized by the cells than its 9c,11t homolog, though the Wistar rat species appeared to be poorly responsive to CLA diets for the effects measured.

Abstract
In vitro and in vivo studies in animals have shown that elevated levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) induce impaired beta-cell function corresponding to the abnormalities observed in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Previously, it was demonstrated that the chain length and degree of unsaturation are of importance for the insulinotropic effect of fatty acids. However, it is not known if the spatial configuration of the fatty acid influences beta-cell function. The present study examines whether cis and trans fatty acids acutely influence insulin release and glucose oxidation in isolated mouse islets in the same way and to the same extent. Thus, we studied the impact of both cis and trans forms of C 18:1 fatty acids. We found that cis and trans vaccenic acid (cis and trans C 18:1 delta11), as well as oleic acid (cis C 18:1 delta9) and elaidic acid (trans 18:1 delta9), caused a dose-dependent increase in glucose (16.7 mmol/L)-stimulated insulin secretion during static islet incubations. The maximal stimulatory effect for cis and trans vaccenic acid and for oleic and elaidic acid was observed at concentrations of 2.0 and 3.0 mmol/L, respectively. The trans isomers, trans vaccenic and elaidic acid, elicited a higher maximal insulin output than the respective cis isomers, cis vaccenic and oleic acid. In the presence of another insulin secretagogue, L-leucine, trans vaccenic but not elaidic acid caused a higher response than their cis isomeric fatty acids. The higher potency of trans fatty acids compared with the cis forms was confirmed in perifusion experiments. Both cis and trans C 18:1 fatty acids stimulated insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. Also, glucose oxidation was influenced differentially by the isomers of fatty acids. Glucose oxidation at 16.7 mmol/L glucose was significantly inhibited by oleic and cis vaccenic acid compared with elaidic and trans vaccenic acid, respectively. In summary, our results demonstrate that the fatty acid spatial configuration modulates glucose oxidation and insulin secretion in mouse beta cells.

Abstract
The incorporation of [14C]elaidic acid (trans18:1(n-9)) in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine molecular species in isolated rat liver cells has been studied, and the results compared with the incorporation, previously published (B. Woldseth et al. Biochim Biophys Acta 1993; 1167: 296-302), of [14C]palmitic acid (16:0) and [14C]stearic acid (18:0) and with that of [14C]oleic acid (cis18:1(n-9)). The pattern of incorporation in phospholipid molecular species is similar to that of [14C]stearic acid and different from that of [14C]palmitic acid. In phosphatidylcholine [14C]trans18:1-18:2 and [14C]trans18:1-20:4 were the most abundant species, and in phosphatidylethanolamine [14C]trans18:1-20:4 was the predominant species. With increasing concentration of [14C]elaidic acid increasing amounts of [14C]trans18:1-[14C]trans18:1 were found. The total incorporation in phospholipids was less than that of [14C]stearic acid, but more than that of [14C]palmitic acid. The distribution in percent of [14C]elaidic acid in phospholipid classes was 8.8% in phosphatidylinositol, 1.8% in phosphatidylserine, 59.1% in phosphatidylcholine and 30.3% in phosphatidylethanolamine with 0.1 mmol l-1 substrate concentration. More [14C]elaidic acid than [14C]palmitic acid or [14C]stearic acid was oxidized. The incorporation in phospholipids of [14C]elaidic acid was very different from that of [14C]oleic acid. The main species with [14C]oleic acid were 16:0-[14C]cis18:1 in phosphatidylcholine, and [14C]cis18:1-20:4 in phosphatidylethanolamine. In some experiments [14C]18:2(n-6) was incubated together with unlabelled elaidic or unlabelled trans-vaccenic acid (trans18:1(n-7)). In these experiments, more trans18:1-18:2 was formed from elaidic acid than from trans-vaccenic acid, especially in phosphatidylethanolamine.

Abstract
It is shown that 12-(S)-hydroxy-(5Z, 8E, 10E)-heptadecatrienoic acid (5-cis-HHT)--a physiological metabolite of arachidonic acid--is acid-catalyzed converted into a less polar substance with its maximum UV-absorption at (1)max=232 nm and a molar absorptivity of about epsilon=26600 +/- 200 M(-1)cm(-1). Using a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method this equilibrium reaction (K(c) = 1.78 +/- 0.05 at pH 1.10 and 298 K) could be thermodynamicly characterized as a pH dependent, exergonic and exothermic reaction according to kinetics of a first order reaction (at pH 1.10 and 298 K: delta(R)G(o) = -1.42 +/- 0.07 kJ mol(-1), delta(R)H(o) = -3.50 +/- 0.9 kJ mol(-1), delta(R)S(o) = 7.0 +/- 3.0 J mol(-1)*K, delta(R)H*f = 100.0 +/- 4.0 kJ mol(-1)). Kinetic data for several pH-values and temperatures are presented. These data and structural characterization by gaschromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) lead to the conclusion that 5-cis-HHT is isomerized to 12-(S)-hydroxy-(5E, 8E, 10E)-heptadecatrienoic acid (5-trans-HHT).

Abstract
The metabolism of cis-5 unsaturated fatty acids was studied in intact rat liver mitochondria to assess the operation of a reduction pathway. By using direct quantification of metabolites with a capillary-column gas chromatography, 3-hydroxydodecanoate was identified among other metabolites when cis-5-dodecenoate was metabolized in intact rat liver mitochondria. The formation of 3-hydroxydodecanoate supports the existence of a reduction pathway in the metabolism of cis-5-unsaturated fatty acids. This metabolite cannot be produced from the conventional isomerase-mediated pathway. However, the data also indicated the possible operation of the conventional isomerase-mediated pathway in intact rat liver mitochondria. The reduction pathway appears to account for at least 61% of the pathway for cis-5-dodecenoate. This reduction pathway was likely to proceed from the dehydrogenation to trans-2,cis-5-dodecadienoyl-CoA, which was isomerized to delta 3, delta 5-dodecadienoyl-CoA, then to trans-2,trans-4-dodecadienoate. The reduction was mediated by 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase by the conversion of trans-2,trans-4-dodecadienoyl-CoA into trans-3-dodecenoyl-CoA. However, direct reduction of the cis-5 double bond was also shown to be operating, although to a lesser extent.

Abstract
Previous work had shown that dietary trans fatty acids (tFA) resulted in decreased fat deposition in adipose tissue. This study was conducted to see if tFA influence lipid accumulation in Swiss mouse fibroblast 3T3-L1 cells, which are widely used as an adipocyte model. Cells were cultured in the presence of experimental or control growth media supplemented with fatty acids complexed to bovine serum albumin. Fatty acid compositions of experimental and control growth media were similar except that the octadecenoates in the control growth media were cis fatty acids, whereas those in the experimental media contained both cis and trans fatty acids. Cell-conditioned media and cellular lipids at the preadipocyte and differentiating adipocyte stages were analyzed. At both stages of development, less fat accumulated in cells cultured in the presence of tFA, due primarily to a decrease in the nonpolar lipid content of cells exposed to tFA, and linoleate to arachidonate ratios were higher in cells supplemented with tFA. Calculations comparing sums of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids in cells at the differentiating adipocyte stage suggested that tFA may have replaced monounsaturated fatty acids in the nonpolar lipid fraction and saturated fatty acids in the polar lipid fraction. The results of these studies are in good agreement with the in vivo effects of tFA seen in previous work with mouse adipose tissue. It was concluded that the 3T3-L1 in vitro model is an appropriate system for further studies of tFA and lipid metabolism in adipose tissue.

Abstract
The intake of trans octadecenoic acids is estimated by a national consumption assay. The daily intake in West Germany differs between 3.4 g for women and 4.1 g for men. The consumption of trans fatty acids decreased in the last years, due to the progress in food technology and changes in nutritional habits. The main sources of trans fatty acids are partially hydrogenated vegetable fats just as well as ruminant and dairy fats.

Abstract
In the course of the last decade peroxisomal beta-oxidation has emerged as a metabolic process indispensable to normal physiology. Peroxisomes beta-oxidize fatty acids, dicarboxylic acids, prostaglandins and various fatty acid analogues. Other compounds possessing an alkyl-group of six to eight carbon atoms (many substituted fatty acids) are initially omega-oxidized in endoplasmic reticulum. The resulting carboxyalkyl-groups are subsequently chain-shortened by beta-oxidation in peroxisomes. Peroxisomal beta-oxidation is therefore, in contrast to mitochondrial beta-oxidation, characterized by a very broad substrate-specificity. Acyl-CoA oxidases initiate the cycle of beta-oxidation of acyl-CoA esters. The next steps involve the bi(tri)functional enzyme, which possesses active sites for enoyl-CoA hydratase-, beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase- and for delta 2, delta 5 enoyl-CoA isomerase activity. The beta-oxidation sequence is completed by a beta-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase. The peroxisomes also contain a 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase, which is required for beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. The peroxisomal beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA epimerase activity is due to the combined action of two enoyl-CoA hydratases. (For a recent review of the enzymology of beta-oxidation enzymes see Ref. 225.) The broad specificity of peroxisomal beta-oxidation is in part due to the presence of at least two acyl-CoA oxidases, one of which, the trihydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoyl-CoA (THCA-CoA) oxidase, is responsible for the initial dehydrogenation of the omega-oxidized cholesterol side-chain, initially hydroxylated in mitochondria. Shortening of this side-chain results in formation of bile acids and of propionyl-CoA. In relation to its mitochondrial counterpart, peroxisomal beta-oxidation in rat liver is characterized by a high extent of induction following exposure of rats to a variety of amphipathic compounds possessing a carboxylic-, or sulphonic acid group. In rats some high fat diets cause induction of peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation and of trihydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoyl-CoA oxidase. Induction involves increased rates of synthesis of the appropriate mRNA molecules. Increased half-lives of mRNA- and enzyme molecules may also be involved. Recent findings of the involvement of a member of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily during induction, suggest that induction of peroxisomal beta-oxidation represents another regulatory phenomenon controlled by nuclear receptor proteins. This will likely be an area of intense future research. Chain-shortening of fatty acids, rather than their complete beta-oxidation, is the prominent feature of peroxisomal beta-oxidation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Consumption of trans-fatty acids increased markedly during this century due to the widespread use of partially hydrogenated fats. A sensitive analytical method was developed which enables the precise determination of 7 trans-isomers in small sample volumes. With this method we documented the materno-fetal transfer of trans-fatty acids across the human placenta. The content in human milk depends on maternal diet and is lower in Germany than in the Sudan. The distribution in fore- and hind-milk, in milk fat fractions and within the triglyceride molecule was determined. The content of trans-fatty acids is lower in commercial and home-made infant formulae than in human milk, although there is a certain batch to batch variation in formulae. Infants absorb dietary trans-isomers and incorporate them into endogenous lipids, subcutaneous tissue and cell membranes. Trans-fatty acids in plasma lipids are significantly higher in infants fed human milk than in those fed formulae. African children have a lower exposure than Germans. The relative contribution of trans-octadecenoic acid is lower in plasma sterol esters than in triglycerides and phospholipids, pointing to a negative selectivity of plasmatic cholesterol esterification with this fatty acid. Thus, a high supply of trans-octadecenoic acid might have negative effects on the cholesterol levels. In premature infants we found an inverse correlation between trans-fatty acid exposure and birthweight, thus interference with intrauterine growth appears possible. A possible causative factor could be impaired biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids by trans-isomers, for which we found strong indications. The results of our investigations the question whether the consumption of trans-fatty acids in pregnant and lactating women and in infants is nutritionally safe.

Abstract
Mixtures of deuterium-labeled trans-8, cis-8 and cis-9-octadecenoic acids (8t-18:1, 8c-18:1, 9c-18:1) were fed as triglycerides (TG) to two adult male subjects. Blood samples were collected sequentially over a 48-hour period. Plasma and lipoprotein lipids were separated by thin layer chromatography and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Results indicate (i) absorption of the 8t- and 8c-18:1 isomers were similar to 9c-18:1; (ii) the 8t-18:1 isomer was cleared approximately 30% faster than 9c-18:1 from plasma TG; (iii) cholesterol ester samples contained 8.4 times less 8t-18:1 than 9c-18:1; (iv) incorporation at the 1-acyl phosphatidylcholine (PC) position was higher for 8t-18:1 and 8c-18:1 (2.2 and 1.7 times) than for 9c-18:1; and (v) discrimination at the 2-acyl PC position was 4.6-fold against 8t-18:1 and 1.3-fold against 8c-18:1 compared with 9c-18:1. Discrimination against uptake of the delta-8 isomers in both neutral and phospholipid classes suggests that both 8t- and 8c-18:1 may be preferentially oxidized relative to 9c-18:1. Except for triglycerides, data for each of the lipid classes from total plasma and individual lipoprotein samples were similar. These data indicate that differences for incorporation and turnover of the 8t- and 8c-18:1 isomers relative to 9c-18:1 are not substantially influenced by the lipoprotein classes. The maximum isotopic enrichment detected in the chylomicron triglycerides fractions was 60%, which indicates that a substantial amount of endogenous triglycerides was mobilized during absorption of the deuterated fats.

Abstract
The effect of trans fat on the activities of liver mitochondrial and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation enzymes was examined in various strains of rats. When Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats were fed for 30 days diets containing either olive oil or partially hydrogenated corn oil as a source of cis- or trans-octadecenoate, respectively, the activities of various enzymes of mitochondrial and peroxisomal beta-oxidation measured with cis- and trans-9-octadecenoic acid as substrates showed little dietary fat-dependent change. In Fischer 344 rats, feeding trans fat for 15 mo increased only moderately various enzymes of beta-oxidation except for carnitine acyltransferase. The rate of mitochondrial ketogenesis and the activity of carnitine acyltransferase measured with trans-9-octadecenoic acid as a substrate were about half those with the cis-counterpart. Peroxisomes oxidized trans-9-octadecenoyl-CoA at a rate comparable to the cis-counterpart. It was concluded from this study and previous ones that the difference in the geometry of dietary fatty acid had only a marginal effect in modulating the hepatic fatty acid oxidation system, in spite of marked differences in the metabolic behavior of cis- and trans fatty acid in cell-free preparations and perfused liver.

Abstract
In this study the effect of dietary trans fatty acids on the peroxisomal and mitochondrial beta-oxidation is compared with that of saturated or cis-monounsaturated fatty acids. Oxidation of [1-14C]- and [16-14C]palmitate was assayed in the absence as well as in the presence of antimycin plus rotenone in homogenates of liver, heart and skeletal muscle of four groups of rats fed diets containing 40 energy% fat of different fatty acid composition. Three groups were given fat blends rich in C16, C18 saturated (cocoa butter), cis-monounsaturated (low-linoleic-acid olive oil) or trans fatty acids (partially hydrogenated soybean oil), respectively. The fourth group received a mixture of these fats with half the amount of trans fatty acids of the third group. Total oxidation rates of [1-14C]- and [16-14C]palmitate in the absence of antimycin were not significantly influenced by the type of dietary fat in the investigated tissues. The antimycin-insensitive [1-14C]palmitate oxidation rate and the proportion of peroxisomal oxidation of the total oxidation were lower in all tissues of those animals fed the mixed dietary fat than in those fed the other diets; both parameters were higher in the liver of cocoa butter-fed rats than in those of the other groups. Comparison of the results with literature data and with previous results obtained with a low-fat diet (Veerkamp and Van Moerkerk (1986) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 875, 301-310) indicates that high-fat diets only induce peroxisomal beta-oxidation activity if they also contain C20, C22 fatty acids. High dietary concentrations of trans C18 fatty acids do not result in a higher peroxisomal activity than that observed for other fatty acids with the same chain length.

Abstract
Hepatic metabolism of cis- and trans-9-octadecenoic acid was compared in various strains of rats and under different nutritional states. In Wistar rats triacylglycerol secretion was consistently higher in livers perfused with the cis isomer than with the trans isomer, while the difference was considerably attenuated in Sprague-Dawley rats. The difference in the hepatic triacylglycerol secretion disappeared when rats were fasted for 2 days. The rate of oxidation of trans fatty acid to ketone bodies was remarkably much higher than the cis isomer in Wistar but not in Sprague-Dawley rats. After fasting, the difference in the ketone body production disappeared in Wistar rats, whereas the oxidation rate was rather lower in the trans isomer than in the cis isomer in Sprague-Dawley rats. In isolated mitochondria, ketogenesis from trans-9-octadecenoic acid was markedly lower than that from the cis counterpart, irrespective of the nutritional states or strains of rats, and correlated well with the substrate specificity of carnitine acyltransferase. The molar concentration of malonyl-CoA to cause 50% inhibition of ketogenesis, the rate of peroxisomal beta-oxidation and the activity of acyl-CoA oxidase were all comparable, irrespective of the substrate sources. The Km value for acyl-CoA oxidase to the trans-acyl-CoA was 2-times higher than that of the cis counterpart in both strains of rats. Thus, peroxisomal as well as mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation systems apparently discriminated between the geometrical differences of the fatty acid substrate.

Abstract
Parallel incubations with uniformly 14C-labeled oleic and elaidic acids were conducted to compare oxidation rates in tissue homogenates prepared from rat and human hearts. Radioactivity in 14CO2 and 14C-labeled chain-shortened acid-soluble products was used to measure the extent of oxidation. Oxidation rates (pmol/min per mg heart protein) determined on 14C-labeled acid-soluble products suggest that oleic acid was oxidized 35-40% faster than elaidic acid by both male and female rat heart homogenates, whereas human heart homogenates oxidized these fatty acids at equal rates. Rates for female heart homogenates were somewhat higher than those for males in rats and humans. Rates of formation of 14CO2 were the same for each acid in rat and human heart tissue. Comparative rates of formation of oxidation products expressed as oleic/elaidic ratios from parallel incubations confirm that preferential oxidation of oleic acid occurred with rat heart homogenates, but not with the human heart homogenates. These data suggest that the presence of the trans double bond in elaidic acid does not impair its utilization for energy by human heart muscle.

Abstract
Since the discovery in 1929 that certain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are essential for life and health, intense investigation has revealed the multiplicity of members in each of several families of PUFA, no two of which are equivalent. The quantified nutrient requirements for the essential dietary precursors of the two dominant families of PUFA have been estimated, and the general functions of these families are slowly becoming known. The PUFA are essential components of structural membrane lipids. The functions of the individual members are not yet differentiated, except as they act as precursors of synthesis of unique octadecanoid, eicosanoid, and docosanoid products of oxidation that have potent biological properties. The PUFA occur in animals and higher plants as ubiquitous and essential components of structural lipid that are in a dynamic equilibrium with the pool of dietary acyl groups. Many human diseases have been found to involve unique essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiencies or distortions of the normal equilibrium pattern. The equilibrium is influenced by the level of dietary intake or precursors, by the presence of competing essential and nonessential acyl groups, by nonoptimum intake of other essential nutrients, by hormonal effects, by drug therapy, and by other effects upon physiological condition. With the many variables already known to modulate or control the equilibrium, it should be possible with more precise understanding of each variable to shift abnormal equilibria in the direction of normalcy. This perhaps will be the next area of intensive investigation in this field of nutrition and metabolism.

Abstract
Triacylglycerols containing deuterium-labeled trans-10- and cis-10-octadecenoic acid (10t-18:1, 10c-18:1) plus the triacylglycerol of deuterated cis-9-octadecenoic acid (9c-18:1) were fed as a mixture to two young, adult male subjects. Analysis by mass spectroscopy of the labeled fats in blood samples collected periodically for 48 h allowed the uptake, distribution and turnover of both 10-octadecenoic acid isomers to be directly compared to 9c-18:1. A feature of this study is that actual weight data for the labeled fats were obtained. These data allowed plasma triacylglycerol turnover rates of 3.47-5.13 mg/min per kg to be estimated. Plasma and chylomicron triacylglycerol data also provided evidence that absorption of the deuterated fats mobilized 10-12 g of a triacylglycerol pool present in the intestinal cells. Other results are summarized as follows: the 10t-, 10c- and 9c-18:1 fatty acids were equally well absorbed, both delta 10-18:1 isomers were oxidized more rapidly than 9c-18:1, conversion of the delta 10-18:1 isomers into their corresponding 16:1 isomers was about 3-times faster than for 9c-18:1, the delta 10-18:1 isomers were preferentially incorporated at the 1-acyl and excluded from the 2-acyl position of phosphatidylcholine, esterification of cholesterol with the delta 10-18:1 fatty acids was 2.5-4.3-times slower than for 9c-18:1 and desaturation and elongation rates for the delta 10-18:1 acids were very low.

Abstract
The effects of the mixed cis- 18:1 isomers and mixed trans- 18:1 isomers present in partially hydrogenated soybean oil (PHSO) upon the patterns of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in liver phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) were studied in rats fed concentrates of cis- 18:1 or trans- 18:1 isomers isolated as triacylglycerides from PHSO. The cis- 18:1 and trans- 18:1 concentrates were fed at levels equal to those present in PHSO fed at 17.9% of the diet. All diets contained the required amounts of both linoleic and linolenic acids. The trans- 18:1 concentrate was found to suppress the levels of 20:4 omega 6 and 20:3 omega 9, and to increase the levels of 18:2 omega 6 and 20:5 omega 3 in PC and PE. The cis- 18:1 concentrate suppressed 20:4 omega 6 in PC, 20:5 omega 3 in PC and PE, and 18:2 omega 6 in PC, but increased the levels of 20:4 omega 6 in PE, and 20:3 omega 9 in PC and PE. The cis- 18:1 concentrate was more effective than the trans concentrate in suppressing 22:6 omega 3. The trans- 18:1 concentrate was more effective in suppressing 20:4 omega 6. The trans- 18:1 isomers appear to modify PUFA metabolism by inhibition of PUFA synthesis, whereas the cis- 18:1 isomers appear to complete with 2-position fatty acyl transfer and to inhibit omega 3 PUFA acylation.

Abstract
Geometric and positional isomers of [1-14C] octadecenoic acids have been synthesized by modifications of published procedures. Positional isomers of octadecynoic acids also have been synthesized to obtain the geometric and positional isomers of the unlabeled octadecenoic acid analogs. The syntheses were accomplished by coupling a haloalkyl compound with a substituted acetylene using n-butyl lithium in hexamethylphosphoramide. The coupled product, either a 17- or 18-carbon acetylenic alcohol, could be semihydrogenated and chain extended to afford a carboxy labeled derivative, could be partially hydrogenated and chain extended to afford a carboxyl labeled cis- or trans-octadecenoic acid in the former case. In the latter case, octadecynoic, cis-octadecenoic or trans-octadecenoic acids could be obtained by the appropriate reactions. The methods used in this study enabled the synthesis of 14C-labeled fatty acids in generally higher yields and by simpler reactions than were previously possible.

Abstract
The acyl-CoA synthetase (acid: CoA ligase (AMP-forming), EC 6.2.1.3) activity of rat heart has been measured in fatty acid-depleted fractions of mitochondria, microperoxisomes and microsomes. The assay was based on (i) the measurement of the reaction product AMP by high-performance liquid chromatography or (ii) a coupled reaction in which the intramitochondrial (matrix) CoASH is the final acyl acceptor and the redox state of the flavoproteins in the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase pathway is used to determine the intramitochondrial level of acyl-CoA. This spectrophotometric method was also used to estimate the 'outer' carnitine long-chain acyltransferase (palmitoyl-CoA:L-carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase, EC 2.3.1.21) activity. Comparison of the distribution of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase activity and marker enzymes in the various subcellular fractions revealed that the synthetase activity is exclusively localized in the mitochondrial fraction. Experimental evidence is presented in support of the conclusion that the chain-length specificity of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids (16:1-22:1) for the acyl-CoA synthetase is mainly determined by the availability of the fatty acid at the active site, which is largely determined by the affinity of binding of fatty acids to the bulk phase of the mitochondrial phospholipids. Among the 22:1 isomers, 22:1(11) (cis) (cetoleic acid) revealed a slightly higher activity (1.4-fold) than 22:1(13) (cis) (erucic acid). The polyunsaturated fatty acids tested were rather poor substrates. Using isolated intact mitochondria and 16:0 or 22:1(13) (cis) as the substrates, it was found that the initial rate of the 'outer' long-chain acyltransferase activity was approximately four times higher than that of the long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase. The data support the hypothesis that the long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase reaction is rate-limiting in the sequence of coupled reactions leading to beta-oxidation in the mitochondrial matrix.

beta-Oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids was studied with isolated rat liver mitochondria in state 3 or uncoupled conditions. 1. Incubation of mitochondria with docosahexaenoyl-, linolenoyl- or gamma-linolenoylcarnitine resulted in an increase of the absorbance at 340 minus 385 nm. This increased absorbance was due to an accumulation of beta-oxidation intermediates of the polyunsaturated fatty acids, and not to the reduction of nicotinamide nucleotides. 2. Experiments carried out with soluble fractions of liver mitochondria incubated with docosahexaenoyl-CoA and gamma-linolenoyl-CoA indicated that this ultraviolet light-absorption was at least partly caused by acyl-CoA esters having a 2,4(,7)-di(tri)enoyl-CoA structure. 3. The addition of glutamate to mitochondria oxidizing gamma-linolenoylcarnitine decreased the absorbance at 340 minus 385 nm, and simultaneously stimulated respiration. With liver mitochondria isolated from fasted rats, 6 mM glutamate increased the rate of acetoacetate production from gamma-linolenoylcarnitine by 130 and 210% under state 3 and uncoupled conditions, respectively. Glutamate did not have any significant effect on the degradation of oleoylcarnitine. The proposed explanation for these findings is that the glutamate dehydrogenase reaction can function as a source of NADPH for 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase. 4. The degradation of gamma-linolenoylcarnitine to ketone bodies was augmented in mitochondria isolated from rats treated with clofibrate or partially hydrogenated marine oil. 5. We conclude that 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase is an important auxiliary enzyme in the beta-oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Induction of this enzyme by clofibrate or by certain high-fat diets increases mitochondrial capacity for the degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Abstract
Female Wistar rats were fed a fat-free diet containing either 5% partially hydrogenated corn oil (52.2% elaidate) or 5% oleic acid (67% oleate) with 8.6% linoleate providing 1% of calories 2 weeks before mating and were maintained on this diet throughout pregnancy and lactation. Fatty acid analysis of the developing organs as well as beta-oxidation by heart homogenates with [1-14C]palmitate, [1-14C]elaidate and [1-14C]oleate of the developing male and female progeny were determined and compared with age-matched controls on a stock diet. Results show that irrespective of the cis and trans 18:1 in the diet, the maternal plasma at term contained mostly cis 18:1, with 5% trans for the rats on the trans diet. The placenta and fetal liver contained 40 and 60% less trans, respectively, than did the maternal plasma. trans 18:1 was not detected in fetal brain or heart. Regardless of diet or sex, the order of preference for the heart was palmitate greater than elaidate greater than oleate. There was an increase in the rate of beta-oxidation of all the substrates, especially in the females on the trans diet, suggesting a stimulation of one or more of the enzymes involved. Above all, the myocardium showed a unique capacity to retain n-6 and n-3 fatty acids when the levels of these decreased in the serum.

Abstract
The influence of dietary partially hydrogenated marine oils containing docosenoic acid on rat heart mitochondrial membrane phospholipid fatty acid composition was studied with particular reference to cardiolipin and oxidative phosphorylation. Five groups of male weanling rats were fed diets containing 20% (w/w) peanut oil (PO), partially hydrogenated peanut oil (HPO), partially hydrogenated Norwegian capelin oil (HCO), partially hydrogenated herring oil (HHO), and rapeseed oil (RSO) for 10 weeks. All the cardiac phospholipids investigated were influenced by the experimental diets. An increased amount of arachidonic acid observed in phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) after feeding partially hydrogenated oils suggests a changed regulation of the arachidonic acid metabolism in comparison with PO treatment. 22:1 originating from the dietary oils was incorporated only to a small extent into phosphatidylcholine (PC) and PE. A selective incorporation of 18:1 isomers into the 1- and 2-positions of PC and PE with respect to geometry and position of the double bond was observed. Large amounts of 18:1 trans were incorporated into the 1-position of PC and PE, irrespective of the amount of 18:2 supplemented to the diets, replacing a considerable proportion of stearic acid in this position. After feeding HHO and RSO, the content of 22:1 in mitochondrial cardiolipin of rat heart was found to be 3% (mainly cetoleic acid) and 10% (mainly erucic acid), respectively, indicating a high affinity for cis isomers of 22:1, but also a considerable resistance against incorporation of trans isomers was observed. The ability of rat cardiac mitochondria to oxidize palmitoylcarnitine and to synthesize ATP was depressed after feeding HHO and RSO. Dietary cis isomers of 22:1 seem to have a specific ability to interfere with cardiac ATP synthesis and also to alter the fatty acid composition of cardiolipin of rat heart.

Abstract
1. beta-Oxidation of gamma-linolenoylcarnitine, arachidonoylcarnitine and docosahexaenoylcarnitine by isolated rat liver mitochondria is inhibited by uncoupling conditions. Partial re-activation is obtained with added ATP. With mitochondria from clofibrate-treated rats ATP-stimulated rates of beta-oxidation of docosahexaenoylcarnitine are higher than ADP-stimulated rates. This is not observed with the beta-oxidation of oleoylcarnitine. 2. beta-Oxidation of docosahexaenoylcarnitine, in the presence of rotenone, is inhibited by added oxaloacetate, analogous to previous findings with pent-4-enoylcarnitine [see Osmundsen (1978) FEBS Lett. 88, 219-222]. In the absence of rotenone added oxaloacetate stimulates the beta-oxidation of docosahexaenoylcarnitine, but has the opposite effect on the beta-oxidation of palmitoylcarnitine. 3. beta-Oxidation of polyunsaturated acylcarnitines by isolated rat liver mitochondria is selectively increased after treatment of the animals with a low dietary dose (0.2%, w/w) of clofibrate. Treatment with a higher dose of clofibrate (0.5%, w/w) resulted in a general stimulation of beta-oxidation. 4. The results presented suggest that long-chain fatty acids possessing a delta 4-double bond are not readily beta-oxidized unless the 2,4-enoyl-CoA reductase (EC 1.3.1.-) is operating.
