Tóm tắt

This report describes the daily changes in fatty acid composition and fatty acid desaturation in rats feeding on a complete diet and a fat-free diet successively. Rats on a complete diet showed a good homeostasis in the percentage of fatty acid in plasma, with a possible palmitic acid rhythm, but the fat-free diet initiated an essential fatty acid-deficient pattern in a few hours. The light-dark period in animals feeding on a complete diet motivates a feeding rhythm that causes changes in linoleic and arachidonic acids in the whole liver and microsomes that are related to Δ6 and Δ5 desaturase activities. The patterns of Δ6 and Δ5 desaturase changes were different. Linoleic acid intake during the dark periods (complete diet feeding) caused a decrease of Δ6 desaturase activity and the activation of Δ5 desaturation that led to an increase of arachidonic acid biosynthesis. The feeding of a fat-free diet eliminated the rhythm observed in linoleic and arachidonic acid composition in the liver and changed the desaturase rhythms. The Δ9 desaturase activity in the liver also showed a daily rhythm in the complete-diet period that disappeared with the change to a fat-free diet, while the activity increased markedly. A negative correlation existed between the percentage of linoleic acid in the liver and the Δ9 desaturase activity. However, no correlation was found between Δ9 desaturase activity and the percentage of 16∶1 and 18∶1 in the complete-diet period.
