The effects of dietary Int levels on lipid metabolism under fixed P/S (1.3) and n-6/n-3 (5.1) fatty acid ratios were examined in rats using palm oil, soybean oil and perilla oil. These ratios correspond to the recommended composition of dietary fat for humans. The range of dietary fat levels was 5-20% by weight (11.8-39.3% of total energy). The levels of dietary fat did not influence the concentrations of serum and liver cholesterol, whereas the level of triglycerides was gradually elevated with increasing levels of dietary fat, especially in the liver. The fatty acid composition of tissue phosphatidylcholine seemed to vary with the different levels of fat. The ratio of linoleic acid to arachidonic acid was increased more significantly in the heart than in the liver. In adipose tissue total lipids, the percentages of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids decreased, whereas the percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acid increased, with increasing dietary Int levels. In addition, though the level of aortic prostacyclin was not uniformly affected by increasing dietary fat levels, thromboxane A2 production by platelets tended to increase with higher levels of dietary fat, suggesting an increased risk of thrombosis in this situation. Thus, even though dietary fat may have desirable compositions of fatty acids, these excessive consumption can produce unfavorable metabolic responses.

지질은 생체내에서 여러 가지 중요한 기능을 한다. 하지만 부적절한 식이 섭취로 인한 지방산의 불균형은 성인병을 비롯한 여러 질병의 원인이 된다. 이러한 이유로 지방산에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며 특히 어류나 해조류에 다량 포함되어 있는 n-3계 다중불포화지방산과 질병과의 관련성이 밝혀지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 염생식물이 n-3계 다중불포화지방산을 함유할 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 26종의 염생식물에 대하여 지방산의 조성과 함량을 조사하였다. 용매 추출된 염생식물 시료는 gas chromatography를 이용하여 분석이 이루어졌으며, 그 결과, 퉁퉁마디, 수송나물, 염주괴불주머니, 사철쑥, 갯질경 등이 높은 총지방산 함량을 나타냈다. 또한 포화지방산인 palmitic acid (16:0)는 실험 대상 전체에서 나타났을 뿐만 아니라 그 %함량도 대부분의 염생식물에서 가장 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 불포화지방산의 경우, 단일불포화지방산에서는 oleic acid (18:1)가 그리고 n-6계 다중불포화지방산에서는 linoleic acid (18:2)가 높은 %함량을 보였다. 그리고 n-3계 다중불포화지방산 중에서 천일사초가 26.40%로 LNA의 함량이 가장 높았으며, 뒤이어 모래지치, 수송나물, 갯메꽃 순으로 나타났다. EPA의 함량은 상대적으로 낮은 비중으로 나타났으나 칠면초가 1.89%로 가장 높은 수치를 보였다. DHA는 여러 대상 식물에서 비교적 높은 함량을 보였으며 특히 흰명주아뀌가 14.54%로 높은 함량을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 염생식물이 해조류나 어류의 n-3계 다중불포화지방산의 함량에 있어서 뒤지지 않음을 보여줄 뿐만 아니라 천연물 화학적이나 식품학적 추가 연구를 통해 여러 질병의 예방과 치료분야에도 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 닭고기의 중량별 영양적인 특성을 규명하고자 현재 국내에서 유통되고 있는 5호∼16호의 중량규격으로 분류하여 닭고기에 대한 지방산 및 아미노산 조성, 콜라겐 함량에 대하여 분석하였다. 가슴육의 지방산 조성에 있어서 포화지방산과 불포화지방산의 비율은 닭고기의 도체 중량에 따라 큰 변화는 나타내지 않았으나 n6 계열지방산/n3 계열지방산의 비율은 중량이 증가할수록 감소하였으며 특히 15호에서는 6 : 1까지 저하되어 세계보건기구(WHO)에서 권유하고 있는 5 : 1에 근접하였다. Eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA)는 5호부터 9호에서는 검출되지 않았으나 10호부터 검출되어 15호의 EPA함량은 0.43%으로 비교적 높은 수치를 나타냈다. Docosahexaenoic acid(DHA)는 13호 까지는 미검출되었으나 14호부터 검출되어 15호의 DHA 함량은 0.94%를 나타내었다. 아미노산에서 닭고기의 맛에 영향을 미친다는 glutamic acid의 함량은 전체적으로2.94∼3.59%의 분포를나타내었으며 닭고기의 중량이 증가할수록 유의적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 methionine 등 여러가지 아미노산들도 중량이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 콜라겐의 함량은 유통 규격별(5호∼16호)로 일정한 분포를 나타내지 않았으며, 부분육에 있어서는 가슴살이나 날개살 보다 다리살에서 높은 분포를 나타내었다.

물고기 기름에 대한 Aspergillus oryzae 유래의 Lipolase-100T의 가수분해 특성을 규명하였다. Lipolase-100T는 트리글리세라이드의 1과 3의 위치에 작용하여 이 위치에 결합되어 있는 아실 체인을 유리지방산으로 가수분해시키는 1,3-위채특이성을 보였다. 또한 Lipolase-100T는 물고기 기름을 구성하는 다중불포화지방산 보다 포화지방산을 쉽게 가수분해시키는 특성도 나타내었다. 이 특성으로 인하여 가수분해 시간에 따라서 생성되는 글리세라이드 혼합물내의 다중 불포화 지방산중 n-3 PUFAs인 C16:4, C20:5 및 C22:6의 농도는 모두 증가하였으며 특히 C22:6의 농도증가가 가장 뚜렷하였다. 이 결과로부터 물고기 기름을 구성하는 n-3 PUFAs는 트리글리세라이드의 2번 위치에 결합하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 지방산의 결합위치특이성과 Lipolase-100T 1,3-위치특이성으로 인하여 Lipolase-100T를 반응물의 0.4 wt%사용하여 물고기 기름을 120시간 가수분해 시켰을 때 생성된 글리세라이드 혼합물내의 n-3 PUFAs농도는 50 wt%까지 상승하였다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the fatty acid composition in Nellore cows supplemented with either linseed (n-3) or canola grains (n-6 and n-9). Fifteen Nellore cows, aged five years and bodyweight 550 kg${\pm}$48 kg, were randomly distributed to the following treatments: CON (control), LIN (linseed) and CAN (canola grains). The cows were fed for 80 days. The concentrations of C18:0, C18:2 n-6 and C20:3 n-6 fatty acid were higher (p<0.10) in CON blood plasma in comparison to follicular liquid. Likewise, PUFA, n-6 contents, PUFA:SFA and n-6:n-3 ratios were higher (p<0.10) in blood plasma. On the other hand, C18:1 n-9, C22:5 n-3, MUFA and n-3 contents were lower (p<0.10) in blood plasma. C18:0, C18:2 n-6, C18:3 n-3, C22:5 n-3, PUFA, n-6, n-3 contents and PUFA:SFA ratio were higher (p<0.10) in LIN blood plasma than in the follicular liquid. Nevertheless, C14:0, C16:0, C16:1 n-7, PUFA, C16:0, C18:1 n-9 and MUFA contents were lower (p<0.10) in LIN blood plasma. On treatment CAN, the C18:0 and SFA contents, and n-6:n-3 ratios were higher (p<0.10) in blood plasma. However, C20:3 n-6, C22:5 n-3, PUFA and n-3 contents were lower (p<0.10) in blood plasma. C16:0, C18:0, PUFA, SFA contents and PUFA:SFA ratio did not differ (p>0.10) among the treatments. C14:0, C16:1 n-7, C18:2 n-6 and n-6 contents were higher (p<0.10) for CON and CAN than LIN. C17:1 n-7, C20:4 n-6 and C 22:0 contents were higher (p<0.10) for CAN than CON and LIN. C18:1 n-9, C18:3 n-3, MUFA and n-3 contents were higher (p<0.10) for LIN and CAN than CON. C20:3 n-6 content and n-6:n-3 ratio were higher (p<0.10) for CON than LIN and CAN. C22:5 n-3 content were higher (p<0.10) for CON and LIN than CAN. The concentrations of fatty acids in blood plasma and follicular liquid were not correlated for any fatty acid, independent of the treatment studied. Canola grain added to the diet of Nellore cows resulted in increased concentrations of fatty acids n-6 and n-3 in follicular liquid.

The objective of this study was to rapidly evaluate fatty acids in a collection of millet (Panicum miliaceum subsp. miliaceum) of different origins so that this information could be disseminated to breeders to advance germplasm use and breeding. To develop the calibration equations for rapid and nondestructive evaluation of fatty acid content, near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRs) spectra (1104-2494 nm) of samples ground into flour ($n$=100) were obtained using a dispersive spectrometer. A modified partial least-squares model was developed to predict each component. For foxtail millet germplasm, our models returned coefficients of determination ($R^2$) of 0.89, 0.89, 0.89, and 0.92 for palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and total fatty acids, respectively. The prediction of the external validation set (n=10) showed significant correlation between references values and NIRs values ($r^2$=0.64, 0.90, 0.79, and 0.89 for palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and total fatty acids, respectively). Standard deviation/standard errors of cross-validation (SD/SECV) values were close to 3 (2.62, 2.40, 1.85, and 2.23 for palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and total fatty acids, respectively). These results indicate that these NIRs equations are functional for the mass screening and rapid quantification of the oleic and total fatty acids characterizing millet germplasm. Among the samples, IT153514 showed an especially high content of fatty acids ($48.14mg\;g^{-1}$), whereas IT123909 had a very low content ($34.44mg\;g^{-1}$).

The proximate and fatty acid compositions of the edible portion of three species of cultured freshwater fish (common eel Anguilla japonica, rainbow trout Onchorhynchus mykiss, and Israeli carp Cyprinus carpio) were compared between imports from China and domestically produced specimens. The lipid contents of cultured common eel and rainbow trout were rich in imported fishes (20.4 and 12.2%, respectively) compared with those in domestic ones (16.0 and 8.01%, respectively), while those of Israeli carp were rich only in the domestically produced specimens (8.06 and 3.07%, respectively). There was a negative correlation between the lipid and moisture contents in all fish samples (r =-0.86). The protein contents ranged from 16.6 to 21.3% in domestic fishes and 15.3 to 19.1% in imported ones. The most prominent fatty acids in the fishes were: saturated fatty acids, 16:0, 18:0 and 14:0; monounsaturated fatty acids, 18:1n-9, 16:1n-7 and 18:1n-7; and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), 18:2n-6, 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid, DHA), and 20:5n-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA). The percentage of n-3 PUFA (e.g., DHA, 22:5n-3, EPA, and 18:3n-3) was higher in domestic common eel and Israeli carp than in imported ones, but similar in domestic and imported rainbow trout, and higher in domestic wild rainbow trout than in cultured ones. On the other hand, all of the cultured freshwater fishes contained a relatively large amount of 18:2n-6, which is a characteristic fatty acid in cultured fish lipids.

Since the n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, docosatetraenoic acid (22:4n-6), is a major functional constituent of avian spermatozoa, the effects of two dietary oils rich in fatty acids which are metabolic precursors of 22:4n-6 on the fatty acid profiles of testicular lipids were investigated during a 39 week period of supplementation from 21 to 60 weeks of age. The effects on liver lipids were determined for comparison. Dietary supplementation of male chickens with Arasco Oil, which provides a large amount of arachidonic acid (20:4n-6), increased the proportion of 20:4n-6 in liver phospholipid by almost 2.5-fold. Although liver phospholipid normally contains very little 22:4n-6, this proportion was significantly increased as a result of Arasco feeding, indicating that the conversion of 20:4n-6 to 22:4n-6 was occurring. The phospholipid of the testis contains much higher proportions of 20:4n-6 and particularly of 22:4n-6 than the liver; supplementation with Arasco Oil significantly increased the proportions of both these polyunsaturates in testis phospholipid but the magnitude of this effect was much lower than that which occurred in the liver. Dietary supplementation with Evening Primrose Oil which contains ${\gamma}-linolenic $ acid (18:3n-6) resulted in significant increases in the proportions of 20:4n-6 and 22:4n-6 in liver phospholipid, although the extent of this increase was less than that produced by the Arasco Oil. By contrast, the feeding of Evening Primrose Oil did not alter the fatty acid composition of phospholipid in the testis. The findings raise the possibility that dietary supplementation with Arasco Oil may modulate the fatty acid profile of avian spermatozoa in a way which could potentially be beneficial for fertility. Moreover, the weights of the testes were almost doubled as a result of supplementation with Arasco Oil or Evening Primrose Oil.

The effects of eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA, 22:6n-3) on the phospholipase $A_2$ ($PLA_2$)-mediated release of arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6) were studied in kidney microsomes from rats fed diets containing sunflower oil (SO) or fish oil (FO) concentrate for 11 months. The amounts of AA released by the endogenous $PLA_2$ enzyme were significantly lower by 38% in the FO, compared to the SO-fed rats (23.2 nmol versus 60.7 nmol AA released/mg protein/h in the FO- and SO-treated groups, respectively). The FO-derived microsomes released less linoleic acid (LA, 18:2n-6) and adrenic acid (22:4n-6), but larger amounts of the n-3 fatty acids, including EPA, DHA, docosapentaenoic acid (DPA, 22:5n-3), and 20:4n-3 than the SO-derived microsomes. A similar replacement of the AA and adrenic acid with the n-3 fatty acids including EPA and DHA was also observed in the microsomal phospholipid fraction from the FO-fed rats relative to the SO-treated group. The results suggest that the $PLA_2$-mediated release of AA is reduced and that of EPA is increased in compensation for AA decline in kidney microsomes from FO-fed rats (0.7 nmol EPA/mg protein/h versus 22.7 nmol EPA/mg protein/h for the SO and FO-treated groups). Replacement of the n-6 with n-3 fatty acids may explain the reduced synthesis of the AA-derived prostaglandins and the concomitant rise in the EPA-derived prostaglandins observed in kidneys of FO-treated rats.

This study was carried out to investigate the rheological properties and composition of unsaturated fatty acid of farm butter made from the milk of cows grazing at high mountain pasture in Pyronogchang SKY ranch (above sea level, 935 m). From two groups containing 7 cows each, a group was fed in-door with TMR (total mixed ration) feed and whereas the other group was grazed pastures for 12 h. The daily intake of feed on basis of dry matter (DMI), milk yields, concentration of milk constituents, and fatty acid profile of pasture milk were compared with control TMR milk. In addition, the physiochemical properties and composition of unsaturated fatty acids of the butter were also compared with those of the butter made from control TMR milk. Upon comparison, the health-promoting index (HPI) of fatty acids; the ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids (n-6 to n-3 UFA), the atherogenicity index (AI), and the ratio of linoleic acid to ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid (LA to ALA) was apparently improved in farm butter than those of control butter. Thus, it could make the dairy farm visitors to consume the farm butter containing the health-promoting fatty acids from the milk of cows grazing on mountain pasture.
