The effects of feeding isoenergetic barley grain or alfalfa pellets on in vitro lipogenesis, palmitate esterification, and lipogenic enzymes activities in biopsy samples of subcutaneous adipose tissue in 10 ewes were studied. Acetyl CoA carboxylase and FAS activities and rate of esterification were 52, 38, and 88%, respectively, higher (P < 0.05) in subcutaneous adipose of ewes fed the concentrate versus those fed the roughage diet. Key words: Isoenergetic, adipose tissue, acetyl CoA carboxylase

The aim of the present work was to investigate the effects of trans-10,cis-12conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the activity and expression of lipogenic enzymes and lipoprotein lipase (LPL), as well as on the expression of transcriptional factors controlling these enzymes, in adipose tissue from hamsters, and to evaluate the involvement of these changes in the body fat-reducing effect of this CLA isomer. Thirty male hamsters were divided into three groups and fed atherogenic diets supplemented with 0 (linoleic group), 5 or 10g trans-10,cis-12CLA/kg diet, for 6 weeks. Body and adipose tissue weights, food intake and serum insulin were measured. Total and heparin-releasable LPL and lipogenic enzyme activities (acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC); fatty acid synthase (FAS); glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH); and malic enzyme (ME)) were assessed. ACC, FAS, LPL, sterolregulatory element-binding proteins (SREBP-1a), SREBP-1c and PPARγ mRNA levels were alsodetermined by real-time PCR. CLA did not modify food intake, body weight and serum insulin level. CLA feeding reduced adipose tissue weight, LPL activity and expression, and increased lipogenic enzyme activities, despite a significant reduction in ACC and FAS mRNA levels. The expression of the three transcriptional factors analysed (SREBP-1a, SREBP-1c and PPARγ) wasalso reduced. These results appear to provide a framework for partially understanding the reduction in body fat induced by CLA. Inhibition of LPL activity seems to be an important mechanism underlying body fat reduction in hamsters. Further research is needed to better characterizethe effects of CLA on lipogenesis and the role of these effects in CLA action.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of diets with different protein contents on carcass traits, plasma hormone concentration, lipogenic enzyme activities, and fatty acid (FA) composition in the adipose tissue of Iberian pigs. Twenty-four castrated male Iberian pigs (eight per feeding diet) were fed under free-range conditions with acorns and grass (FR), and in confinement with concentrated diets with standard (SP) and low-protein contents (LP) from 116.0 to 174.2 kg live weight. Backfat thickness was not affected by diet. The plasma leptin concentration was higher (p < 0.001) in the FR group than in the LP and SP groups, while insulin concentration was higher in the SP group than in the LP and FR groups. The lipogenic enzyme activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme, and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were lower in the FR group compared to the LP and SP pigs. The activities of these enzymes were adipose-tissue-specific. No differences were found in FA composition of adipose tissue between the SP and LP groups, while the FR pigs had lower proportions of saturated FA and higher proportions of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated FA than the SP and LP pigs. In conclusion, feeding low-protein diets in Iberian pigs does not seem to affect adipose carcass traits, strengthening previous findings that indicate that this is a good strategy to improve meat and dry-cured product quality.

The activities and mRNA concentrations of two lipogenic enzymes, fatty acid synthetase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and one enzyme involved in glyceroneogenesis, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), were measured in rat white adipose tissue during the suckling-weaning transition. Activities and mRNA concentrations of lipogenic enzymes were low in suckling rats, whereas activity and mRNA concentration of PEPCK were high. At weaning to a high-carbohydrate diet, the rapid increase in lipogenic enzymes mRNA (10- to 20-fold) and decrease in PEPCK mRNA (10-fold) were followed by parallel changes in enzyme activities. In contrast, weaning to a high-fat diet prevented these modifications. Force feeding suckling rats with carbohydrates induced a rise in blood glucose and plasma insulin concentrations. During these experiments, mRNA concentrations increased 10- to 20-fold for lipogenic enzymes and decreased 5-fold for PEPCK in less than 6 h, whereas all enzyme activities did not vary. This suggests a pretranslational regulation of gene expression. Force feeding suckling rats with a mixture of fat devoid of carbohydrate induced a slight increase in plasma insulin concentration and a fall in PEPCK mRNA but was not accompanied by a rise in lipogenic enzyme mRNAs. This suggested that insulin is a prime regulator of PEPCK gene expression, whereas glucose and insulin act synergistically in the regulation of lipogenic enzyme gene expression.
