Dietary Conjugated Linoleic Acid

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the cytotoxicity of peripheral blood lymphocytes in piglets. A total of forty 21-d-old Duroc × Large White × Landrace weaned piglets were randomly allocated into two treatment groups and fed with control diet or 2% CLA diet for 6 weeks. Dietary CLA significantly increased the number of peripheral blood CD8+ T lymphocytes (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, cytotoxicity, perforin, and granzyme B mRNA expression of peripheral blood lymphocytes in piglets from the CLA-supplementation group increased by 29.98% (P < 0.01), 32.87% (P < 0.01), and 43.36% (P < 0.05), respectively. The piglets on the CLA diet had higher mRNA expression of Lck and Fyn in peripheral blood lymphocytes (P < 0.05). The content of C16:0 significantly increased in piglets from the dietary CLA-supplementation group (P < 0.05), whereas the content of C18:1 significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The CLA content of peripheral blood lymphocytes in piglets in the CLA diet group ranged up to 0.24% (P < 0.01). These results suggest that dietary CLA enhanced cytotoxicity of peripheral blood lymphocytes perhaps through changing its fatty acid composition.

Dietary Conjugated Linoleic Acid

The effect of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on body composition and energy metabolism was investigated in broiler chickens. Male broiler chicks were assigned to receive either a control diet (1 % sunflower oil) or a diet containing CLA (1 % of a 1:1 mixture of trans-10, cis-12 and cis-9, trans-11 isomers of octadecadienoic acid). The diets were fed ad libitum for 3 weeks and there were eight replicates per diet, each replicate including four chickens so that each treatment had thirty-two animals. The proportion of body fat was lower in the control group than in the CLA group. No significant differences as to the proportions of body water, ash and protein were observed. Feed and energy intake were significantly lower in CLA-fed birds. The percentage of ingested energy lost in excreta was higher after CLA feeding and heat expenditure as a percentage of ingested energy was lower in the CLA-fed group. The CLA-fed group showed a higher percentage of SFA and lower percentages of MUFA and PUFA in carcass fat. It is concluded that CLA stimulated de novo fatty acid synthesis and lowered desaturase activity.

Dietary Conjugated Linoleic Acid

One of the objectives of the present study was to investigate whether 1 % conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in the diet reduced tumour incidence in the colon of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-treated rats. Colon cancer was induced by injecting 6-week-old, male, Sprague–Dawley rats with 15 mg/kg DMH twice per week for 6 weeks. They were fed either 1 % CLA or a control diet ad libitum for 30 weeks. Dietary CLA significantly decreased colon tumour incidence (P<0·05). Our second objective was to investigate whether apoptosis in the colon mucosa of DMH-treated rats was affected by the amount of dietary CLA and whether the changes in apoptosis were related to those in fatty acid-responsive biomarkers. For this purpose, rats were killed after being fed a diet containing 0 %, 0·5 %, 1 % or 1·5 % CLA for 14 weeks. CLA was undetected in the mucosa of rats fed the 0 % CLA diet and increased to 5·9 mg/g phospholipid in rats fed the 0·5 % diet. The apoptotic index estimated by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick and labelling technique was increased by 251 % and the 1,2-diacylglycerol content was decreased by 57 % in rats fed 0·5 % CLA. No further changes in these variables were observed when CLA in the diet was raised to 1·0 % or 1·5 %. However, dietary CLA decreased mucosal levels of prostaglandin E2, thromboxane B2 and arachidonic acid in a dose-dependent manner. The present data indicate that dietary CLA can inhibit DMH-induced colon carcinogenesis by mechanisms probably involving increased apoptosis.

Foxa1 Expression

Here, we study the expression of NURR1 and FOXA1 mRNA in peripheral blood lymphocytes and its haplotypes in coding region in a small Chennai population of India. Thirty cases of Parkinson’s patients (PD) with anti-PD medications (20 males aged65.85±1.19and 10 females aged65.7±1.202) and 30 age matched healthy people (20 males aged68.45±1.282and 10 females aged65.8±1.133) were included. The expression of NURR1 and FOXA1 in PBL was detected by Q-PCR and haplotypes were identified by PCR-SSCP. In the 30 PD cases examined, NURR1 and FOXA1 expression was significantly reduced in both male and female PD patients. However, NURR1 (57.631% reduced in males; 28.93% in females) and FOXA1 (64.42% in males; 55.76% in females) mRNA expression did differ greatly between male and female PD patients. Polymorphisms were identified at exon 4 of the NURR1 and at exon 3 of the FOXA1, respectively, in both male and female patients. A near significant difference in SSCP patterns between genders of control and PD population was analyzed suggesting that further investigations of more patients, more molecular markers, and coding regions should be performed. Such studies could potentially reveal peripheral molecular marker of early PD and different significance to the respective genders.

Dietary Treatments

This study was undertaken to investigate the growth performance and immune responses of broiler chicks fed diets supplemented with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Two hundred and forty day-old Arbor Acre male broiler chicks were randomly allotted into four dietary treatments with different inclusion levels of CLA (0, 2·5, 5·0 or 10·0g pure CLA/kg) for 6 weeks. Growth performance, lysozyme activity, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) proliferation, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis and antibody production were investigated. There were no significant differences in growth performance among treatments (P>0·05). Chicks fed 10·0g CLA/kg diet produced 40% and 49% more lysozyme activity in serum and spleen than the control group at 21d of age (P<0·05). Dietary CLA enhanced the PBMC proliferation in response to concanavalin A at the age of 21 and 42d (P<0·05). Systemic and peripheral blood lymphocytic synthesis of PGE2 in chicks fed 10·0g CLA/kg diet was significantly decreased by 57% and 42% compared to chicks fed control diet (P<0·05). Antibody production to sheep red blood cell and bovine serum albumin were elevated in either 2·5 or 10·0g CLA/kg dietary treatments (P<0·05). The results indicated dietary CLA could enhance the immune response in broiler chicks, but did not alter the growth performance.

Chromosome Aberrations in Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes of Croatian Hospital Staff Occupationally Exposed to Low Levels of Ionising RadiationMedical staff is an occupational group exposed to different agents suspected to induce genetic damage. Among them ionising radiation is the most studied. Cytogenetic analysis of human chromosomes in peripheral lymphocytes allows direct detection of mutation in somatic cells. This study investigated the cytogenetic effects of low-level ionising x-radiation in 48-hour peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures sampled from 765 hospital staff occupationally exposed to several agents known or suspected to induce chromosome damage and compared them with 200 control subjects. The exposed subjects were divided in eight (8) groups according to their specialities and job titles. The exposed groups manifested an increase in all types of chromosome aberrations. Acentric fragments were the most frequent chromosome-type aberration. Dicentric chromosomes were statistically significant only in urologists/gynaecologists. Age and smoking significantly influenced the incidence of dicentrics in the exposed groups. The frequency of ring chromosomes was low in all exposed groups (range: 0-2), and none were found in the control group. These findings indicate the importance of periodic medical checkups of hospital staff occupationally exposed to low doses of ionising radiation. The purpose is to create an individual cytogenetic register, where changes could evidence individual risks.

Introduction: Opioid and amphetamine type stimulant (ATS) exert their rewarding effects by stimulating the dopaminergic system in the mesolimbic area. It has been suggested that dopamine system in peripheral blood lymphocytes reflect the central dopamine system’s activity and pathology, especially in neuropsychiatric diseases including drug addiction. The present study aimed to assess the effect of co-occurring opioid and ATS (COATS) addiction towards mRNA expression of dopamine receptors DRD4 and DRD5 in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) of drug dependent subjects (n=36) undergoing methadone maintenance therapy in comparison to control subjects (n=36). Materials and methods: Ten mL blood were obtained from the subjects followed by lymphocyte isolation, RNA extraction and reverse transcription. DRD4 and DRD5 mRNA expression in peripheral lymphocytes was assessed using real-time PCR. The DRD4 mRNA expression but not DRD5 was significantly reduced in the peripheral lymphocytes of COATS subjects. Results: Mean expression value for DRD4 was 14.0+0.24 among patients and 13.3+0.25 among control subjects. For DRD5 it was 12.87 + 0.75 among patients and 12.59 + 1.24 among controls. Conclusion: Inconclusion, co-occurring opioid and ATS addiction was associated with persistent deficiency of DRD4 but not DRD5 in PBLs. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.20(3) 2021 p.563-568
