Dietary Vitamin E and/or Hydroxytyrosol Supplementation to Sows during Late Pregnancy and Lactation Modifies the Lipid Composition of Colostrum and Milk. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12051039. [PMID: 37237905 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12051039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Modifying the composition of a sow's milk could be a strategy to improve the intestinal health and growth of her piglet during the first weeks of life. This study evaluated how dietary supplementation of vitamin E (VE), hydroxytyrosol (HXT) or VE+HXT given to Iberian sows from late gestation affected the colostrum and milk composition, lipid stability and their relationship with the piglet's oxidative status. Colostrum from VE-supplemented sows had greater C18:1n-7 than non-supplemented sows, whereas HXT increased polyunsaturated (∑PUFAs), ∑n-6 and ∑n-3 fatty acids. In 7-day milk, the main effects were induced by VE supplementation that decreased ∑PUFAs, ∑n-6 and ∑n-3 and increased the Δ-6-desaturase activity. The VE+HXT supplementation resulted in lower desaturase capacity in 20-day milk. Positive correlations were observed between the estimated mean milk energy output and the desaturation capacity of sows. The lowest concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) in milk was observed in VE-supplemented groups, whereas HXT supplementation increased oxidation. Milk lipid oxidation was negatively correlated with the sow's plasma oxidative status and to a great extent with the oxidative status of piglets after weaning. Maternal VE supplementation produced a more beneficial milk composition to improve the oxidative status of piglets, which could promote gut health and piglet growth during the first weeks, but more research is needed to clarify this.

Abstract
RATIONALE Compounds containing a urea or thiourea moiety form complexes with anions thanks to the ability to form quite strong hydrogen bonds. We have synthesized 1,3-bis(3-(2-pyridylureido)propyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (1). Compound 1 contains two urea moieties connected by a long flexible linker; thus, it should be able to adopt a structure suitable for formation of quite stable complexes with anions. METHODS The ability to form complexes of compound 1 with phosphates was tested by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Full scan ESI mass spectra and collision-induced dissociation tandem mass (CID-MS/MS) spectra of the ions of interest were obtained on a quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) mass spectrometer. RESULTS It has been found that compound 1 is not only much more prone to form complexes with the phosphate anion than with other inorganic anions, but it is also able to form complexes with organic phosphates, namely nucleotides and phospholipids. However, compound 1 is not able to form complexes with organic compounds not containing a phosphate group (e.g. nucleosides, sugars, glycerolipids). CONCLUSIONS Compound 1 can be regarded as selective towards phosphate-containing organic compounds. Formation of such complexes may have some interesting applications for identification of organic phosphates in crude extracts from biological materials.

Abstract
This study evaluates the effect of vitamin E supplementation source (micellized natural vs. the synthetic form) and dosage (40, 80, or 120 mg/kg) on α-tocopherol concentration in plasma and muscle, antioxidant capacity, and breast meat quality in turkeys. Three hundred female turkeys were randomly selected at an average live weight 63.2 g±0.5 and distributed into 7 groups. One group (control) was fed a standard diet without vitamin E supplementation and the other 6 were given mixed diets supplemented with the natural (d-α-tocopherol) or synthetic (dl-α-tocopheryl acetate) form of vitamin E in 3 dosages (40, 80, or 120 mg/kg). Following 11 wk feeding, results showed that performance parameters were not modified either by source or dosage of vitamin E supplementation to the turkeys. Plasma and muscle α-tocopherol at d 9 of refrigerated storage were higher when turkeys were supplemented with the natural form at higher doses. Losses in the concentration of α-tocopherol in meat between the beginning and the end of the 9 d refrigerated storage were greater in the groups supplemented with the synthetic form of vitamin E compared to those receiving the natural supplementation. The relationship between plasma α-tocopherol and the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity followed a different trend depending on the vitamin E source. Intramuscular fat was not significantly affected by the vitamin E source supplementation; however the slope of the linear regression equation was lower for the natural form than for the synthetic form. Turkeys given the natural form had higher C18:1n-9 but lower C15:1, C17:1, C20:5n-3, and C22:6n-3 in breast muscle. Meat samples from turkeys supplemented with natural vitamin E had higher deoxymyoglobin at d 3, 6, and 9 and lower metmyoglobin at d 9 of refrigerated storage than those receiving the synthetic form. Dietary supplementation with medium doses (80 mg/kg) micellized d-α-tocopherol is an interesting feeding strategy for ensuring antioxidant status and improving meat quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In dogs, increasing the tissue n-3 fatty acid (FA) content is associated with potential benefit in some medical conditions, e.g. atopic dermatitis, cancer or heart disease. Therefore effectively and conveniently increasing tissue n-3 FA levels in dogs is of interest. Incorporation of dietary n-3 FA into cell membranes may be studied by FA analysis of erythrocyte membranes (EM), because of the correlation of its FA composition with the FA composition of other cells. Aim of the study was to determine whether an n-3 FA additive added to a control diet is as effective in increasing EM n-3 FA content as feeding an n-3 FA enriched diet. Furthermore the time course of the incorporation of dietary n-3 FA into canine EM was investigated. METHODS Thirty dogs were randomly divided into three dietary groups with ten dogs per group. CONT got a dry dog food diet which did not contain EPA or DHA. FO got a dry dog food diet with a high EPA and DHA content. ADD got the CONT diet combined with an n-3 FA additive rich in DHA and EPA. After a feeding period of 12 weeks the additive was discontinued in ADD and these dogs were fed CONT diet for another four weeks to observe washout effects. Erythrocyte lipids were extracted from venous blood samples and their FA composition was determined by gas chromatography. The Mann-Whitney-U-test was used to detect significant differences between the different groups and time points. RESULTS After one week the proportions of n-3 FA, DHA and EPA were already significantly increased in ADD and FO, apparently reaching a plateau within eight weeks. In our study DHA and not EPA was preferably incorporated into the EM. After discontinuing the administration of the additive in ADD, the n-3 FA values declined slowly without reaching baseline levels within four weeks. CONCLUSIONS In dogs, an increase of dietary n-3 FA content leads to a rapid inclusion of n-3 FA into EM, regardless of whether the n-3 FA are offered as an enriched diet or as a normal diet supplemented with an n-3 FA additive.

Abstract
Macrophages play a vital role in the innate immune system. Thereby, production of both reactive oxygen intermediates and immune modulating cytokines is crucial for successful pathogen defense. Fatty acids may interfere with immune response in several ways. In this study, we investigated the influence of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on key macrophage functions. RAW264.7 macrophages were cultured in a medium supplemented with 2 or 15 micromol/L of the n-6 PUFA linoleic acid (LA) or of the n-3 PUFA alpha-linolenic acid (LNA), respectively. Cells were tested for incorporation of fatty acids as well as NADPH oxidase activity. Furthermore, supernatants were collected for detection of NO and cytokine release (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-10). Exposure of RAW264.7 macrophages to LA or LNA resulted in incorporation of these fatty acids and their derivatives. Thereby, supplementation with both LA and LNA caused a significant increase in NADPH oxidase activity. In contrast, synthesis of NO was not affected by PUFA supplementation. Moreover, distinct effects could be seen in the release of immune modulating cytokines. Due to enhancement of NADPH oxidase activity, PUFA presumably promote the killing of pathogens crucial in host defense. In addition, the unsaturated fatty acids tested in our study were shown to modulate cytokine release by the macrophages, thus driving immune response into an anti-inflammatory direction. Of note, distinct differences between the n-6 PUFA LA and the n-3 PUFA LNA underline the impact of PUFA family on immune response.

Abstract
The effects of dietary vitamin E (VE, alpha-tocopherol acetate) and fat supplementation on growth and carcass quality characteristics, oxidative stability of fresh and cooked pork patty in storage, fatty acid profiles of muscle and adipose tissue, and VE concentrations of plasma, muscle, and adipose tissue were studied. Six hundred pigs were allocated to 1 of 6 diets and fed for 63 d in a 3 x 2 factorial design. The dietary treatments included 3 fat levels (normal corn, high oil corn, high oil corn plus added beef tallow) and 2 levels of VE supplementation (40 IU/kg, normal VE supplementation; and 200 IU/kg, high VE supplementation). At 113 kg of BW, 54 pigs were slaughtered as a subsample to evaluate dietary effects on pork quality. Growth performance and meat quality characteristics did not differ (P > 0.05) among treatment groups. The high level of VE supplementation had a beneficial effect on the oxidative stability of pork as indicated by thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values. Lean tissue had lower (P < 0.05) TBARS in the group fed the high VE than in those fed the normal VE level. The TBARS values differed among storage periods (0 to 6 d) and also between fresh and cooked ground ham. Fat type did not significantly affect total saturated and unsaturated fatty acids proportions in the neutral and polar fraction of muscle. Adding VE acetate led to greater (P < 0.05) monounsaturated and total unsaturated fatty acid proportions in neutral lipids of muscle and adipose tissues. Increasing dietary levels of VE acetate increased the concentration of VE in plasma and muscle. These results indicate that dietary VE acetate supplementation increased (P < 0.05) lipid stability and the VE concentration of muscle.

Abstract
Feeding increased levels of dietary vitamin E can inhibit lipid oxidation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of levels of dietary alpha-tocopherol acetate (VE) and feeding duration on meat quality and lipid oxidation. Eighty-one pigs were allocated to 1 of 3 diets containing 40, 200, or 400 IU of VE/kg of feed, and each diet group was divided into 3 feeding periods (3, 6, or 9 wk). Carcass characteristics and meat quality were evaluated. Oxidative stability of fresh and cooked pork patties and pork chops was determined after chilled or frozen storage. Increasing dietary concentrations of VE did not affect any growth performance parameter. Drip loss, however, decreased (P < 0.05) with increased dietary VE levels. Moreover, an increased duration of VE feeding improved (P < 0.05) pH and drip loss. Less lipid oxidation (P < 0.05) was detected in fresh ground pork from pigs fed greater concentrations of VE after 4 d of storage. A greater (P < 0.05) resistance to oxidation in cooked ground pork was observed in pigs fed 200 or 400 IU of VE/kg at 2 and 6 d of storage. Fresh and cooked pork patty oxidation decreased (P < 0.05) linearly as feeding duration increased from 3 to 9 wk. After 6 mo of freezer storage, lipid oxidation of pork chops from pigs fed 200 or 400 IU of VE/kg was lower (P < 0.05) than for pigs fed 40 IU of VE/kg. Likewise, lipid oxidation of pork chops of pigs fed VE for an extended period of time (6 wk) was lower (P < 0.05) after 9 mo of storage. Fatty acid profiles of neutral lipid fraction of the LM became more unsaturated (P < 0.05) with added VE to the feed. These results indicate an increased intake of dietary VE concentration, and prolonged feeding of VE can improve drip loss and reduce lipid oxidation in ground pork and pork chops. This study suggests that supplementation with 200 IU of VE/kg of feed for 6 wk before market is beneficial in improving lipid stability and pork quality.

Abstract
In ruminants, the uptake of inorganic phosphate (P(i)) across the intestinal mucosa epithelium by Na-dependent and Na-independent mechanisms is a main regulatory factor in P homeostasis. The aim of the study was to elucidate to which extent Na-independent mechanisms, including pH effects or composition of mucosal brush-border membranes, could be involved in positive stimulation of P(i) absorptive processes seen under the P deficient condition. Therefore, luminal, surface and intracellular pH of the jejunal epithelial cells in control and P depleted goats were compared and biochemical analyses of membrane phospholipids in the apical membrane of the jejunal epithelium were performed. Dietary P depletion resulted in decreased plasma P(i) levels. While pH in jejunal ingesta was not significantly changed, P depletion resulted in a significantly lower surface pH in the crypt region compared to control animals (7.62 +/- 0.02 vs. 7.77 +/- 0.04, n = 4, P < 0.01). Inhibition of apical Na(+)/H(+)-exchange resulted in an increase of the jejunal surface pH in P depleted animals by 0.07 +/- 0.01 (n = 6, P < 0.01) and 0.05 +/- 0.01 (n = 6, P < 0.01) for the villus and the crypt region, respectively. This increase were inversely correlated with the initial surface pH prior to inhibition. In contrast to surface pH, intracellular pH of the jejunal epithelium and the phospholipid composition of the apical jejunal membrane were not affected by P depletion. Although the data suggest the existence of a Na(+)/H(+)-exchange mechanism at the luminal surface of goat jejunum they do not support the hypothesis that adaptational processes of active P(i) absorption from goat jejunum in response to low dietary P could be based on "non P(i) transporter events".

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of dietary α-tocopherol supplementation to pigs on the lipid stability of nitrite-reduced salami-type sausages (custom-produced for this study). Fourteen crossbred pigs were divided into two equal groups. The control group (CG) was fed a basal diet containing 34ppm α-tocopherol, and the experimental group (EG), a diet supplemented with 364ppm α-tocopherol, both for 35 days. After slaughter, salami-type sausages were produced with the addition of different nitrite levels in the curing salt (100, 50, 25 and 0ppm), ripened for four weeks, sliced, and packaged under a protective atmosphere (80 parts N(2) to 20 parts CO(2)). The packed products were stored for eight weeks under simulation of the usual conditions in self-service shelves with permanent lighting (9°C, 200 lux). The sausages were regularly assessed for their oxidative status (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, fatty acid pattern) and the amount of α-tocopherol, and by sensory evaluation. In the EG sausages, α-tocopherol concentrations were twice as high and TBARS were lower than in the CG sausages. The α-tocopherol in EG prevented the loss of unsaturated fatty acids during storage. Sausages of EG containing 100ppm nitrite had the longest sensory stability. However, the biochemical parameters did not indicate that nitrite had any effect on the antioxidative potential of the sausages.

Abstract
The purpose of our investigations was to evaluate the supposed beneficial effects of gamma-linolenic (GLA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in a canine mastocytoma cell line (C2) as a model for canine atopic dermatitis. Cells were cultured in a basic medium (DEH) and in DEH supplemented with 14.3 microM GLA (DEH-GLA) or 14.3 microM DHA (DEH-DHA) for 8 days. Chymase and tryptase activity, as well as histamine and prostaglandin (PG)E(2) release were measured. To stimulate histamine and PGE(2) release, cells were incubated with the wasp venom peptide mastoparan (50 microM) for 30 min. GLA increased tryptase activity and decreased histamine release after C2 stimulation. DHA diminished PGE(2) production in activated C2. These results support the prescription of GLA- and DHA-enriched diets to reduce inflammatory signs in canine atopic dermatitis.

Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated that embryonic exposure to ethanol (EtOH) promoted a reduction in brain mass, a reduction in brain neuron densities, and a reduction in membrane long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in embryonic chick brains. These EtOH-induced reductions in brain membrane PUFAs may be the result of lipid peroxidation because embryonic exposure to exogenous alpha- or gamma-tocopherol partially attenuated EtOH-induced reductions in membrane PUFAs. In this paper, we report that embryonic exposure to exogenous alpha- or gamma-tocopherol attenuated EtOH-induced decreases in endogenous levels of alpha-tocopherol in both embryonic chick brains and liver. Embryonic exposure to exogenous alpha- or gamma-tocopherol also partially attenuated EtOH-induced reductions in brain neuron densities within the cerebral hemispheres of embryonic chick brains. Finally, embryonic exposure to exogenous alpha- or gamma-tocopherol also partially attenuated EtOH-induced reductions in long-chain PUFAs in 2-day old neonatal chick brains.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) and linoleic acid (18:2n-6) on the fatty acid composition and the activity and release of mast cell mediators in the canine mastocytoma cell line C2. Cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium mixed with 50% Ham's F12 (containing linoleic acid 0.14 micro M). The basic medium (DEH) was supplemented with 0.14 micro M alpha-linolenic acid. 14.0 micro M alpha-linolenic acid (DEH-n-3) or 14.0 micro M linoleic acid (DEH-n-6) was added. Eight days after culturing of C2 in DEH-n-3 we measured elevated levels of n-3 fatty acids up to 22:3. The tryptase activity and the stimulated PGE2 production and histamine release were reduced. In contrast, after culturing of C2 in DEH-n-6 we determined elevated levels of n-6 fatty acids up to 20:3, increased tryptase activity and stimulated histamine release. Thus 18:3n-3 has anti-inflammatory effects in cultured canine mastocytoma cells.

Abstract
We investigated the influence of vitamin E on mediator activity and release in a canine mastocytoma cell line (C2) as a model for canine atopic dermatitis. Cells were incubated without and with vitamin E (100 microm) for 24 h. The histamine and prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) release as well as the chymase and tryptase activity were measured. To stimulate the PGD2 and histamine release, cells were incubated with the wasp venom peptide mastoparan (50 microm) for 30 or 45 min. Nonstimulated as well as mastoparan-stimulated histamine and PGD2 release was reduced significantly in vitamin E-treated cells. The activity of chymase tended to decrease, but the tryptase activity of C2 cells was not influenced by vitamin E. These results indicate that vitamin E decreased the production and release of inflammatory mediators in C2 cells, suggesting that vitamin E might have a possible beneficial effect in inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Unidirectional fluxes of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) indicated marked segmental differences in the permeability of apical and basolateral membranes. The aim of our study was to prove these differences in membrane permeability for a lipid-soluble substance and to understand the factors affecting these differences. Apical and basolateral membrane fractions from guinea pig caecal and colonic epithelia were isolated. Membrane compositions were determined and the permeability of membrane vesicles for the protonated SCFA was measured in a stopped-flow device. Native vesicles from apical membranes of the caecum and proximal colon have a much lower permeability than the corresponding vesicles from the basolateral membranes. For the distal colon, membrane permeabilities of native apical and basolateral vesicles are similar. In vesicles prepared from lipid extracts, the permeabilities for the protonated SCFA are negatively correlated to cholesterol content, whereas no such correlation was observed in native vesicles. Our findings confirm that the apical membrane in the caecum and proximal colon of guinea pig is an effective barrier against a rapid diffusion of small lipid-soluble substances such as SCFAH. Besides cholesterol and membrane proteins, there are further factors that contribute to this barrier property.

Abstract
The fatty acid composition of phospholipids from differentiated human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, human and rat brain tissue and rat brain synaptosomes was determined using high pressure liquid chromatography. Comparison of the fatty acid composition of the cells with that derived from brain tissue identified differences in the cells including a profound deficit of docosahexaenoic acid and an elevation of arachidonic acid. The phospholipid fatty acid content could be modified by addition of free fatty acids to the growth medium, and this was shown to influence the susceptibility of the SH-SY5Y cells to the cell death induced by a mitochondrial toxin, 3-nitropropionic acid.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate fatty acid and carotenoid profile as well as vitamin A (retinol and retinol esters) content in gull (Larus fucus) tissues. Palmitic (16:0) and stearic (18:0) fatty acids were major saturates in all the tissues studied. Oleic acid (18:1n-9) was the major monounsaturate in the tissue phospholipids varying from 11.9% (liver) up to 18.2% (lung). Arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) was the major unsaturate in the phospholipid fraction in all the tissues. Liver contained the highest total carotenoid concentration which was 5 and 7 fold higher compared to kidney and pancreas. In the liver beta-carotene was major carotenoid. In contrast, in all other tissues beta-carotene was minor fraction with lutein being major carotenoid. Zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin, beta-cryptoxanthin and echinenone were also identified in the gull tissues. Liver and kidney were characterised by the highest vitamin A concentrations (1067.5 and 867.5 microg/g, respectively). Retinol comprised from 55.3% (pancreas) down to 8% (kidney) of the total vitamin A but was not detected in the abdominal fat. Retinyl palmitate was the major retinyl ester in the liver, kidney and heart (44.2; 38.1 and 46.0% of total retinyl esters). In muscles and abdominal fat retinyl stearate was the major retinyl ester fraction. Therefore high proportions of beta-carotene were found in gull liver and peripheral tissues were enriched by lutein and zeaxanthin compared to the liver, a very high concentration of retinyl esters in the kidney was observed and tissue-specificity in retinyl ester proportions in peripheral tissues was found.

Abstract
Vitamin E deficiency and linoleic acid-feeding lead to nutritional encephalomalacia (NE) in chicks, affecting the cerebellum exclusively. The relevance of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products to the pathogenesis of the disease was studied. Laying hens received a diet low in vitamin E. Resulting chicks were assigned to four groups fed either with linoleic (C18: 2n-6) or linolenic (C18: 3n-3) acid together with 1 or 50 p.p.m. vitamin E. Nine days post-hatching NE occurred in the vitamin E-deficient group fed linoleic acid. With each chick showing NE, a healthy one from all four groups was killed. Unsaturated aldehydes were determined in plasma, liver, cerebrum and cerebellum. Results underlined that the type of dietary fat is decisive for the aldehyde pattern. In the liver of linoleic acid-fed animals total aldehydes were increased. Diseased animals had increased aldehydes stemming from n-3 fatty acids. In plasma, vitamin E deficiency led to higher malondialdehyde and OH-nonenal concentrations. In brain, neither vitamin E deficiency nor NE were accompanied by increased aldehyde concentrations. In consequence a direct role of unsaturated aldehydes for the development of NE in the cerebellum is not probable.

Abstract
In adapting several methods of membrane isolation we established a successful way to purify apical and basolateral membranes of guinea pig colon in a parallel procedure. The conventional purification control by marker enzymes was applied. In addition, luminal membrane proteins were stained with Texas Red. Apical and basolateral enterocyte membranes were enriched 10- to 12-fold by differential precipitation and via a continuous sorbitol gradient. The membrane fractions were examined with regard to their phospholipid (PL) and fatty acid patterns and to their cholesterol content. Fluorescence polarization studies were carried out using 1,6-diphenyl-1,3, 5-hexatrien. Remarkable differences in the fatty acid pattern of the proximal and the distal colon were seen. Due to a higher content of oleic acid the saturation index of the apical membranes of the proximal colon is lower compared to that of the apical membranes of the distal colon (0.34 +/- 0.03 vs 0.42 +/- 0.05). The cholesterol content of the apical membranes of the proximal colon is markedly higher than that of the apical membranes of the distal colon (3.42 +/- 0.14 vs 1.88 +/- 0.29 mol/mol PL). There are no differences in the fluidity of these apical membranes. We assume a balancing mechanism between the cholesterol content and the amount of saturated PL-fatty acids.
