ABSTRACT
This study was undertaken to determine the effects on the fatty acid (FA) composition of various dog tissues of 4 different lipid emulsions (a 100% long-chain triacylglycerol (LCT) derived from soya bean oil emulsion, a mixed 50% medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT)/50% LCT emulsion as well as both these emulsions supplemented with 10% fish oil (FO) triacylglycerols), when daily infused over 15 days as a substantial component of total parenteral nutrition. Lipids represented 55% of the non-protein energy. Blood samples as well as biopsies from liver, muscle and adipose tissue were taken 15 days before, and again immediately after TPN. In addition, the spleen was also removed immediately after TPN. Tissue FA composition was analysed by gas liquid chromatography of each lipid component after separation by thin layer chromatography. No differences in either safety or tolerance were detected between the different TPN preparations. In particular, infusion over 2 weeks of fat emulsions containing 10% fish oil was tolerated as well as conventional LCT and MCT/LCT emulsions. Relative linoleate content of tissue triacylglycerol (TG) was markedly increased in animals that received the LCT emulsions (e.g. from 22.6 +/- 2.5% to 32.2 +/- 0.6% in the liver), this effect being markedly reduced with MCT/LCT preparations. n-3FA were slightly incorporated into liver TG (from 0.0 +/- 0.0% to 2.3 +/- 0.7% and 1.2 +/- 0.4% for eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) respectively, with LCT + FO), but remained undetectable in extrahepatic tissue TG. Of interest, medium chain FA were found in tissue TG after infusion of the mixed MCT/LCT emulsions. As expected, changes of tissue phospholipid (PL) composition involved only long-chain FA. Infusion of soya bean oil emulsion was associated with an increased content of linoleate in liver PL (from 13.6 +/- 0.4% to 17.7 +/- 0.4%), but not in other tissues. MCT/LCT did not markedly affect PL/FA pattern in any tissue. Supplementation with fish oil was associated with an efficient incorporation of n-3FA into tissue PL, particularly in the liver (from 0.4 +/- 0.1% to 2.5 +/- 0.3% for EPA and from 3.9 +/- 0.8% to 9.1 +/- 0.4% for DHA, with the LCT + FO emulsion).
