Infusion of bile containing labeled cholesterol into bile fistula rats has permitted an in vivo study of the movements and
of the absorption of biliary cholesterol in the digestive tract. The specific activities of cholesterol were similar in the
micelles and the sediment of the luminal content after a 6 hr infusion, indicating rapid exchange of cholesterol between these
fractions. In animals fed a basal diet, the biliary cholesterol absorption was higher (83%) than that of dietary cholesterol
(70%). Bile cholesterol is essentially absorbed in the jejunum while the absorption of cholesterol from the diet takes place
all along the small intestine but preferentially in its second and third quarters. Both alimentary cholesterol and bile cholesterol
enter the top cells of the villi in preference to those of the crypts. In L-thyroxin-fed rats, a parallel decrease in biliary
and dietary cholesterol absorption was observed. The increase in the intestinal transit of cholesterol and epithelium cell
renewal of the jejunum accounted for this observation. 相似文献

The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of two classes of calcium channel blockers (CCB), nisoldipine (N)
and verapamil (V), on the jejunal uptake of lipids in rabbits. The uptake of cholesterol and long-chain fatty acids into rabbit
jejunum was examined after 6 and 36 min of exposure to N or Vin vitro (“acute” studies), and after 3-wk feeding of N or V (“chronic” studies). Animals were fed either a low (0.08%) cholesterol
diet (LCD) or a high (2.8%) cholesterol diet (HCD), with or without N or V added. Acutein vitro exposure of the jejunum to N or V did not affect the uptake of cholesterol or palmitic acid in rabbits fed LCD or HCD. The
effect of N or V feeding depended upon the cholesterol content of the diet; adding N or V to LCD increased cholesterol uptake
while adding N or V to HCD enhanced or lowered cholesterol uptake, respectively. Both N and V increased the uptake of stearic
acid in LCD. N in HCD had no effect on fatty acid uptake, whereas V lowered the uptake of stearic and linoleic acids and increased
the uptake of oleic acid. These changes in lipid uptake were not due to variation in the animals' food intake, body weight
gain, or intestinal mucosal surface area. The chronic administration of N or V results in an intestinal adaptive process that
alters the jejunal uptake of lipids, the direction of which is influenced by the class of CCB, and by the cholesterol content
of the diet. The serum lipid-lowering effect of administering N to rabbits fed HCD demonstrated previously is unlikely to
be the result of a decrease in intestinal lipid uptake. 相似文献

The influence of estradiol on deposition of cholesterol in tissues of ovariectomized rats on normal and high lipid diets was
studied. Concomitantly the influence of a contraceptive steroid combination was studied in a similar manner in intact rats.
It was found that the high lipid diet resulted in increased deposition of cholesterol in aorta, heart, liver and kidney. The
presence of either endogenous or exogenous hormones accentuated the deposition of cholesterol in the kidney and resulted in
significantly higher systolic blood pressures in these rats. In the rats on a high lipid diet, the concentration of cholesterol
in the kidney correlated positively with systolic blood pressure. It is concluded that estrogen and high lipid diet exert
a synergistic effect on deposition of cholesterol in kidney. The positive correlation between kidney cholesterol concentration
and systolic blood pressure suggests a possible role for kidney lipid deposition in the hypertensive effect of estrogens.

Rabbits were fed diets enriched with cholestanol or cholestereol (3.5 g/wk) for 4–12 weeks. During cholestanol feeding, the
concentration of cholestanol in blood serum, liver, heart and aorta increased 15–30 times. In serum and liver, the concentration
of cholesterol also increased. Cholestanol-fed rabbits developed inflammatory changes in the liver, with proliferation of
small bile ducts. Liver tests were only slightly abnormal. Morphological atherosclerosis of the aorta was only occasionally
seen in rabbits receiving cholestanol for eight weeks or less.
During cholesterol feeding, the amounts of cholesterol in different tissues increased dramatically, most in the aorta. Morphological
atherosclerosis in the aorta was found in all rabbits fed cholesterol-enriched diets for more than four weeks. Brain cholestanol
was doubled in rabbits fed cholestanol for eight weeks, whereas brain sterols did not change significantly during cholesterol
feeding. After an additional regression period with cholestyramine for eight weeks, the increased content of cholestanol in
the brain was unchanged in cholestanol-fed rabbits. These observations are discussed in relation to the cholestanolosis of
the brain that develops in the rare inherited human disease cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. 相似文献

The main objectives of this study were to compare the effects of dietary commercial cholesterol (containing 5% of oxidized
cholesterol derivatives) and purified cholesterol on the secretion rate of very low density lipoprotein apolipoproteins and
lipids by cultured rabbit hepatocytes and to verify the hypothesis that products of cholesterol autoxidation stimulate the
rapid development of hypercholesterolemia. Rabbits fed dietary (old) commercial cholesterol for six weeks showed a fivefold
increase in the serum concentration of cholesterol compared with that in purified cholesterol-fed rabbits. The secretion rates
of very low density lipoprotein total protein and very low density lipoprotein [3H]apolipoproteins were similar for the hepatocytes of these two cholesterol-fed groups of animals and were two- and threefold
greater, respectively, than for cells from control rabbits. Cholesteryl ester content of the hepatocytes from dietary (old)
commercial cholesterol-fed rabbits was dramatically increased in comparison with hepatocytes from control and purified cholesterol-fed
rabbits. The elevated intracellular cholesteryl ester content is assumed to account for such an increase of very low density
lipoprotein-cholesteryl ester secretion by cells prepared from dietary (old) commercial cholesterol-fed rabbits. These effects
appear to be caused by activation of cholesterol esterification by oxidized cholesterol derivatives. The rapid development
of hypercholesterolemia induced by dietary (old) commercial cholesterol is associated, at least in part, with the stimulated
production of hepatic very low density lipoprotein apolipoproteins and cholesteryl esters. 相似文献

Purified diets varying in dietary protein, namely casein (CA), soy protein (SP), fish protein (FP), and lipid origin (corn
oil (CN), coconut oil (CO)) were fed to rabbits to evaluate the effects of protein and fat source, as well as protein-lipid
interactions, on serum total, lipoprotein and hepatic lipid levels. Dietary proteins and lipids exerted a separate effect
on serum total cholesterol (C), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) ratio. Hence, CA increased serum cholesterol compared to SP, while coconut
oil enhanced serum and VLDL-C, and decreased LDL-C/HDL-C compared to corn oil. Dietary proteins interacted with dietary lipids
to modulate HDL-C levels. Thus, FP maintained a high level of HDL-C regardless of lipid origin, compared to CA and SP whose
HDL-C levels were decreased by corn oil, compared to coconut oil. A dietary protein-lipid interaction was also observed in
the regulation of liver cholesterol levels. Coconut oil, compared to corn oil, decreased liver cholesterol in rabbits fed
FP, whereas hepatic cholesterol concentration was unaltered by dietary lipid source in CA- and SP-fed rabbits. These results
demonstrate that dietary proteins act synergistically with dietary lipids to regulate cholesterol metabolism in the rabbit.

This study aimed to describe glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) in rat oocytes, preimplantation embryos, and female genital organs. After copulation, Sprague Dawley female rats were euthanized with anesthetic on the first (D1), third (D3), and fifth days of pregnancy (D5). Ovaries, oviducts, and uterine horns were removed, and oocytes and preimplantation embryos were obtained. Immunohistochemical, immunofluorescent, and Western blot methods were employed. Using immunofluorescence, we detected GPx4 in both the oocytes and preimplantation embryos. Whereas in the oocytes, GPx4 was homogeneously diffused, in the blastomeres, granules were formed, and in the blastocysts, even clusters were present mainly around the cell nuclei. Employing immunohistochemistry, we detected GPx4 inside the ovary in the corpus luteum, stroma, follicles, and blood vessels. In the oviduct, the enzyme was present in the epithelium, stroma, blood vessels, and smooth muscles. In the uterus, GPx4 was found in the endometrium, myometrium, blood vessels, and stroma. Moreover, we observed GPx4 positive granules in the uterine gland epithelium on D1 and D3 and cytoplasm of fibroblasts forming in the decidua on D5. Western blot showed the highest GPx4 levels in the uterus and the lowest levels in the ovary. Our results show that the GPx4 is necessary as early as in the preimplantation development of a new individual because we detected it in an unfertilized oocyte in a blastocyst and not only after implantation, as was previously thought. 相似文献

Annexin I in female rabbit reproductive organs: Varying levels in relation to maturity and pregnancy
The level of annexin I, a 36 kDa calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein (36 kDa PLBP) in the reproductive organs of
young, mature, and pregnant rabbits was determined immunologically with antibodies raised against purified rabbit lung annexin
I. In the cytosolic fractions of the ovary, fallopian tube, uterus, and placenta, annexin I was the only major immunoreactive
protein. The reproductive organs appeared to have higher annexin I levels than most nonreproductive organ tissues, except
the lung and the spleen which were also rich in annexin I. A small amount of annexin I and a nearly equal amount of its hydrolytic
product, a 33 kDa polypeptide, were detected in the amniotic fluid between 21 and 27 days gestation. Structural similarity
of annexin I in the reproductive organs and in the lung was suggested by their identical isoelectric point values. Annexin
I in the ovary of adult rabbits was 70% higher than that in the respective organ of immature rabbits. The uterus of pregnant
rabbits had about 84% higher annexin I contents than that of the nonpregnant rabbits., The placenta had more annexin I per
mg cytosolic protein than either the ovary or the uterus during pregnancy. The high concentration of annexin I in the reproductive
organs may reflect specific functions of these organs in the reproductive years and during the reproductive cycle. 相似文献

In two inbred strains of rabbits with high or low response of plasma cholesterol to dietary cholesterol, low density lipoprotein
(LDL) apolipoprotein (apoLDL) kinetics were determined with the use of a heterologous tracer isolated from a Watanabe heritable
hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbit. On a diet without added cholesterol, the total clearance of apoLDL (which equals apoLDL production)
did not differ significantly between rabbits of both strains. After the feeding of a diet containing 0.1% cholesterol for
six weeks, plasma LDL cholesterol, plasma apoLDL and liver cholesterol concentrations rose significantly in the hyperresponsive
but not in the hyporesponsive rabbits. Cholesterol feeding depressed the total fractional catabolic rate (FCR) of apoLDL in
the hyper- but not in the hyporesponsive rabbits; this was attributed to a decrease of receptor-dependent FCR while receptor-independent
FCR was similar in the two strains. On the diet containing cholesterol, the receptor-mediated absolute catabolic rate (ACR)
of apoLDL did not differ between hyper- and hyporesponsive rabbits but receptor-independent ACR of apoLDL was higher in hyperresponders.
It is concluded that the higher plasma apoLDL levels in hyperresponsive rabbits fed the 0.1% cholesterol diet are caused by
a higher production of apoLDL and not by a lower flux of apoLDL through the receptor-mediated pathway. 相似文献

Lipid biosynthesis was studied in vitro in liver, testes, and epididymal fat obtained from rats and rabbits fed di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate
for 4 weeks at levels of 0.5% and 1.0%, respectively. Several differences in response of the two species to DEHP feeding were
observed. In rats, but not in rabbits, DEHP feeding significantly reduced the incorporation of labeled mevalonic acid into
total sterols (p <0.02), digitonin-precipitable sterols (p<0.01), and squalene (p<0.05). Inhibition of hepatic sterologenesis
previously observed with DEHP feeding in the rat was also observed in the rabbit. In liver minces from the DEHP-fed rabbits,
incorporation of3H-mevalonic acid into C27 sterols (cholesterol) and C30 sterols (lanosterol) was significantly reduced by about 40% (p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively), whereas the incorporation
of14C-glycerol 3-phosphate into phospholipids, and the combined fraction of monoglyceride + diglyceride, was significantly increased
(p<0.001 and p<0.01, respectively). In studies with epididymal fat, DEHP feeding did not affect the total incorporation of14C-acetate or3H-mevalonate into total saponifiable and nonsaponifiable lipids of either the rat or rabbit. However, in the rat, significantly
less of the14C-acetate (p<0.02) and3H-mevalonate (p<0.01) that was incorporated appeared in the combined fraction of cholesteryl ester + squalene. In addition,
DEHP feeding significantly reduced serum cholesterol (p<0.01) in the rat but not in the rabbit. The results of this study
indicate that DEHP feeding is associated with alterations in tissue lipid metabolism and that there are species differences
in the response of tissues to DEHP. 相似文献

In two inbred strains of rabbits with high or low response of plasma cholesterol to dietary saturatedversus polyunsaturated fatty acids, the efficiency of intestinal cholesterol absorption was measured. The feeding of a cholesterol-free
purified diet containing saturated fatty acids in the form of coconut fat, when compared with a diet containing corn oil as
polyunsaturated fatty acids, did not influence the efficiency of cholesterol absorption in the two rabbit strains. Irrespective
of the dietary fat source, the hyperresponsive rabbits absorbed cholesterol more efficiently. It is concluded that the hypercholesterolemic
effect of dietary coconut fatversus corn oil is not exerted by influencing cholesterol absorption. 相似文献

The influence of dietary restriction on cholesterol transport and metabolism was investigated in rabbits given standard or
cholesterol-rich diets (0.2 g cholesterol/kg body weight daily) eitherad libitum or with 50% caloric ration. Dietary restriction which has only a slight influence in control rabbits markedly aggravated
the disturbances induced by exogenous cholesterol. With limited feeding, control rabbits presented a moderate increase in
plasma cholesterol, whereas marked aggravation of hypercholesterolemia was observed in cholesterol-fed rabbits. Analysis of
the lipoprotein profile showed that the excess of plasma cholesterol with the restricted cholesterol-rich diet corresponded
to an increase in the concentration of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) without any
additional changes in the composition of these lipoproteins. No significant change appeared in the high density lipoprotein
(HDL) concentration. The parameters of cholesterol metabolism were determined, from the curves of [3H] cholesterol radioactivity decrease, using a two-pool model. The increase in cholesterol turnover rate induced by the cholesterol-rich
diet was accentuated by dietary restriction, whereas rabbits on standard restricted diet showed a slight decrease. The large
increase in the size of both pools A and B in cholesterol-fed rabbits was even more pronounced with limited feeding. Dietary
restriction induced additional accumulation of cholesterol in the aortic wall and the grade of the lesions was also aggravated. 相似文献

Lipid and apolipoprotein (apo) A-I concentrations in different density fractions of New Zealand White (NZW) and Watanabe (WHHL)
rabbit plasma were studied. Aside from the low plasma apoA-I and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels in WHHL
rabbits, the distribution of apoA-I was also different between the two rabbits. ApoA-I was concentrated in both the HDL2 and HDL3 fractions of NZW rabbits but was found primarily in the HDL3 fraction of WHHL rabbits. ApoA-I secretion in these two rabbits was further studiedin vitro by using intestinal and hepatocyte cell cultures. ApoA-I secretion was highest from cultures of the duodenum and the proximal
end of the jejunum; whereas, cell cultures of the distal end of the small intestine secreted very little apoA-I into the medium.
Intestinal cell cultures from WHHL rabbits secreted less, but significant amounts of, apoA-I compared to that of NZW rabbits.
ApoA-I was most concentrated in the density range of 1.12–1.21 (HDL3) fraction in medium containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). Serum-free medium promoted apoA-I secretion by intestinal cell
cultures that was mostly found in the d>1.21 (lipoprotein-deficient) fraction. Hepatocytes isolated from the same rabbits
by collagenase perfusion secreted little apoA-I, and it was found only in the d>1.21 fraction. The addition of oleic acid
into the culture medium with 10% FCS decreased the secretion of total apoA-I and HDL by intestinal cell cultures and increased
the secretion of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL). The results indicate that
intestinal cells, not hepatocytes, are responsible for the secretion of apoA-I and HDL3 in rabbits, and that the secretion may be regulated under different nutritional conditions. 相似文献

Interaction of rabbit lipoproteins and red blood cells with liposomes of egg yolk phospholipids 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
After intravenous injection of liposomes prepared from egg yolk phospholipids into rabbits, the phospholipids were readily
assimilated by the lipoproteins, and there were increases in the circulating levels of cholesterol and phospholipids. The
increases in cholesterol level were mainly due to increases of free cholesterol. Gradient ultracentrifugation showed that
the lipoproteins decreased in density, and gel filtration chromatography showed that they increased in particle size. Upon
electrophoresis, they exhibited slower mobility. Liposomes recovered from rabbits 3 hr after the injection contained free
cholesterol, apolipoproteins A-I, E and traces of C. The apolipoprotein may target the liposomes for uptake by hepatocytes.
Incubation of the liposomes with rabbit red blood cell membranes in vitro caused a decrease in cholesterol content of the
membranes. However, the cholesterol/phosphate ratio in red blood cells isolated from the rabbits after the injection of liposomes
did not change significantly, suggesting rapid replenishment of red blood cell cholesterol in vivo, possibly by equilibration
with lipoprotein cholesterol or tissue cholesterol. These results suggest that the injection of phospholipid liposomes may
have an antiatherogenic effect by the removal of tissue cholesterol and enhancing hepatic disposal of cholesterol through
the reverse cholesterol transport mechanism. 相似文献

Herein, a novel gellan polysaccharide‐based amphiphilic copolymer was synthesized for the development of simvastatin‐loaded micellar nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were explored for their controlled drug release and improved pharmacodynamic potentials. The copolymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and elemental analysis. The onset of copolymer micellization was detected by fluorescence spectroscopy. Simvastatin was loaded into micellar particles by solvent evaporation method and the particles were then characterized by microscopic and light scattering techniques. The physical state of drug was studied by X‐ray diffraction analysis. Pharmacodynamic assessment of the micellar preparations was done on rabbit models. The copolymer formed micellar nanoparticles in water. Critical micellar concentration was 9.12mg/l. The micellar particles (426.8–912.6nm) entrapped a maximum of 18.86% drug. Higher negative zeta potential indicated physical stability of micellar systems. A simple diffusion mechanism was operative in the event of comparatively faster drug release in pH6.8 phosphate buffer solution. No significant drug‐copolymer interaction was traced by FTIR spectroscopy. The amorphization of drug into micellar particles reduced LDL‐cholesterol level by ~45% in hyperlipidemic rabbits and this was about 2.5 times higher than pure drug dispersion. Copolymer micellar nanoparticles of simvastatin could control cholesterol level in hyperlipidemic rabbits and thus had potential in drug delivery applications. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

The plasma cholesterol turnover and serum cholesterol esterifying system was studied in White Carneau pigeons. Eight pigeons
received a single injection of 1,2-3H-cholesterol intravenously and the decline in plasma cholesterol specific activity was measured at intervals from 1–64 days.
Kinetic analysis of the plasma cholesterol die-away curves indicates that plasma cholesterol turnover in the pigeon conforms
to a 2 pool model. The mass of pool A (cholesterol in blood and those tissues which are rapidly equilibrated with blood) in
pigeons maintaining consistently high serum cholesterol levels (≈900 mg/100 ml) was 988 mg and the daily fractional turnover
of pool A was 19.7% compared with 676 mg and 12.2% found in pigeons maintaining consistently low (≈400 mg/100 ml) serum cholesterol
levels. Serum cholesterol esterifying activity, in vitro, showed a positive correlation (rxy=0.806) with serum cholesterol
concentration in the pigeon. The pigeon differs, in this regard, from the chicken, rat and rabbit in which a negative correlation
has been reported. 相似文献

The effects of monounsaturated fatty acid (oleic acid) on cholesterol monomer activity and on the rate of cholesterol influx
were studied in vitro. A polyethylene disc method was employed to determine cholesterol monomer activity in constant sodium
taurocholate-cholesterol micellar solution containing different oleic acid concentration levels at pH 5.5, 6.5 and 7.2. In
addition, the effect of oleic acid on the rates of cholesterol influx was determined using an everted rat jejunal sac technique.
At pH 5.5, increased oleic acid concentration from 5 to 10 mM resulted in significant decreased apparent cholesterol monomer
activity (3.8±0.21 nmol/disc vs 1.0±0.08, P<0.001). At pH 6.5, apparent cholesterol monomer activity was 2.3±0.19 nmol/disc
at 5 mM and 0.5±0.09 at 16 mM oleic acid level (P<0.001). Apparent monomer activity of cholesterol in micellar solutions at
pH 7.2 used for the influx study at 5 and 15 mM oleic acid concentration level was 1.8±0.14 and 0.7±0.08 nmol/disc, respectively
(P<0.001). Thus there was a significant decrease in cholesterol monomer activity by the addition of oleic acid at each pH.
The rate of cholesterol influx across the brush border membrane of the rat jejunum at 5 and 15 mM oleic acid concentration
level was 3.2±0.31 and 1.5±0.21 nmol/100 mg dry weight tissues/min, respectively (P<0.001).
It is concluded that the addition of oleic acid decreases both monomer activity and the rate of influx of cholesterol from
micellar solution. This effect is primarily attributable to the inhibition of the release of cholesterol monomers from the
mixed micelle. 相似文献

The non-lipid portions of semi-synthetic diets appear to be important determinants of hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis
in the rabbit. Serum and liver lipid concentrations were determined in rabbits which had been pair-fed various protein (casein
or soy protein isolate) and carbohydrate (sucrose or dextrose) sources as part of low fat, low cholesterol, semi-synthetic
diets. It was verified that caseincontaining diets render rabbits hypercholesterolemic, while soy protein caused a degree
of hypocholesterolemia. Additionally, sucrose, when fed in conjunction with casein, appears to augment this hypercholesterolemic
effect. The distribution of total cholesterol among lipoprotein subclasses was increased in both the intermediate density
lipoprotein (IDL) (1.006–1.019 g/ml) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) (1.019–1.063 g/ml) fractions and decreased in the high
density lipoprotein (HDL) (1.063–1.21 g/ml) fraction when casein is fed. Soy protein feeding caused relatively more cholesterol
to appear only in the IDL fraction when compared with commercial chow fed rabbits. Reasons for these differences may involve
the saturation or suppression of endogenous lipoprotein hepatic receptors. 相似文献

An analytical method for the determination of cholesterol sulfate (CS) in plasma using gas-liquid chromatography was developed.
We measured plasma CS concentrations in patients with liver cirrhosis and hypercholesterolemia as examples of disorders that
involve aberrations in cholesterol metabolism. Patients with liver cirrhosis had plasma CS concentrations that were significantly
higher than those of control subjects (444.6±51.7vs. 253.0±24.6 μg/dL, mean ±SE). The levels of other lipids were lower in cirrhotics, although the differences were not significant.
There was no correlation between the levels of CS and sulfated bile acids in cirrhotic patients. CS levels in plasma were
also higher in subjects with hypercholesterolemia (413.7±44.5 μg/gL) however, the ratio of CS to total cholesterol (TC) clearly
differed between cirrhotics and hypercholesterolemic subjects (1.44±0.11×10−3,vs. 3.31 ±0.63×10−3;P<0.05). Both in subjects with hypercholesterolemia and in healthy controls, the CS/TC ratio was similar and CS accounted for
roughly 0.14% of the TC concentration. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to clarify the contribution of cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent metabolism of vitamin E isoforms
to their tissue concentrations. We studied the effect of ketoconazole, a potent inhibitor of CYP-dependent vitamin E metabolism
in cultured cells, on vitamin E concentration in rats. Vitamin E-deficient rats fed a vitamin E-free diet for 4 weeks were
administered by oral gavage a vitamin E-free emulsion, an emulsion containing α-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol or a tocotrienol
mixture with or without ketoconazole. α-Tocopherol was detected in the serum and various tissues of the vitamin E-deficient
rats, but γ-tocopherol, α- and γ-tocotrienol were not detected. Ketoconazole decreased urinary excretion of 2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2(2′-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman
after α-tocopherol or a tocotrienol mixture administration, and that of 2,7,8-trimethyl-2(2′-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman
(γ-CEHC) after γ-tocopherol or a tocotrienol mixture administration. The γ-tocopherol, α- and γ-tocotrienol concentrations
in the serum and various tissues at 24 h after their administration were elevated by ketoconazole, while the α-tocopherol
concentration was not affected. The γ-tocopherol or γ-tocotrienol concentration in the jejunum at 3 h after each administration
was also elevated by ketoconazole. In addition, significant amount of γ-CEHC was in the jejunum at 3 h after γ-tocopherol
or γ-tocotrienol administration, and ketoconazole inhibited γ-tocopherol metabolism to γ-CEHC in the jejunum. These results
showed that CYP-dependent metabolism of γ-tocopherol and tocotrienol is a critical determinant of their concentrations in
the serum and tissues. The data also suggest that some amount of dietary vitamin E isoform is metabolized by a CYP-mediated
pathway in the intestine during absorption. 相似文献
