The Study of Biochemical Changes Induced by Fish Oil Diet in Rat(I) - Changes in Hepatic Lipogenic Enzyme Activity -

어유(魚油)식이에 의한 흰쥐체내의 생화학적 변화연구(I) -간장조직내 지방산 합성효소의 변화 -

In order to evaluate the effect of fish oil on lipogenesis, activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase ( G6PDH ) and malic enzyme (ME) were measured in liver of rats fed mackered oil(MO) or eel oil (EO) for 10 to 14 days, at the various levels of 0 to 10% (w/w ). In addition to two kinds of fish oil, soybean oil (SO), lard (L), and beef tallow (BT) were fed to the different groups of rats. When fish oil was below 10%(w/w ), soybean oil, lard, or beef tallow was mixed with fish oil to maintain constant 10% (w/w) fat level. Three days of feeding MO brought a marked decrease$({\sim}{50}%)$ both in G6PDH and ME activity, the former of which maintained during 13 days of feeding. L group had highest levels of both enzymes. G6PDH activity of MO was lower than SO, but ME activity was not different between MO and SO. G6PDH activity was decreased with increasing content of fish oil (MO, EO), starting at the 2%(w/w) level of fish oil, when L or BT was used as filler oil. But ME activity was significantly reduced when fish oil content was at least 5%(w/w). Difference between the effects shown by two kinds of fish oil and animal species were also found. The present study suggests that fish oil can suppress hepatic lipogenesis by reducing activities of lipogenic enzymes with the same or higher degree than vegetable oil can exert.

어유식이(魚油食餌)가 간장조직내 lipogenic enzyme의 활성도에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 고등어유를 식이(食餌) 10%(w/w) 되게 먹이를 조제하여 13일동안 사육한 흰쥐의 간장조직의 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase와 malic enzyme의 활성도는 lard를 섭취한 군(群)보다 $3{\sim}6$일의 섭취로 훨씬 저하되었으며 콩기름에 비하여는 같거나 또는 약간 낮은 값을 보였다. 고등어 또는 장어유를 어유(魚油)로 사용하여 먹이의 $0{\sim}10%$로 함량을 변화시키며 총지방량을 10%로 일정히 하고자 콩기름 또는 쇠기름을 배합유로 사용하였을 때 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase의 활성은 어유(魚油)가 2 % 포함하였을 때부터 malic enzyme의 활성은 5% 포함하였을 때, 어유(魚油)를 포함하지 않은 군(群)에 비하여 감소를 보였다.
