Effects of beer on enzyme activity related to fat metabolism of rats / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Long-term excessive intake of beer might lead to change of intra-corporal tissue or activity of serum enzyme.OBJECTIVE: Observation on relations between intake of beer and fat synthesis of rats and activity of enzyme correlated with catabolism in rats.DESIGN: Matched observations randomly of animal experiments.SETTING: Basic Medical Institute of Taishan Medical College.MATERIALS The experiments were completed in Basic Medical Institute of Taishan Medical College from December 2004 to February 2005. Totally 60 SD rats were selected and categorized into 6 groups with 10 rats in each group. The rats were perfused with 9 mL/kg, 18 mL/kg, 27 mL/kg, 36 mL/kg, and 45 mL/kg beer respectively according to their fat; The rats in control group were fed with water in stead of beer.METHODS: All rats in each groups were narcotized and executed after continuous feeding 1 week, biochemical analysis and enzyme assay were made respectively after blood samples were adopted, and liver, subcutaneous fat, mesentery fat tissue and gastrocnemius muscle were preserved.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The level of fat, blood glucose, insulin and blood-lipid of rats in each group after feeding 1 week . ② The enzymatic activity of liver and fat tissue of rats in each group after feeding 1 week . ③ The activity of hormone sensitive lipase and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) of rats in each group after feeding 1 week.RESULTS: Totally 60 rats were channeled into result analysis without any loss. ① Comparison of the levels of fat and biochemical specifications of rats in each group after feeding 1 week The contents of fat, serum free fatty acid (FFA), high-density of lipoprotein (LP) cholesterol, hepar triacylglycerol and liver cholesterol in beer 36 mL/kg group were higher than those in control groups (x2=19.44-20.01, P ＜ 0.01). ② Comparison of the levels of the enzymatic activity of liver and fat tissue of rats in each group after feeding 1 week The activities of liver, subcutaneous fat, and liver microsome, I.e. Triacylglycerol alternation protein, phosphatidyl phosphohydrolase, malic enzyme, glucose-6-phasphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) of mesentery tissue in beer 36 mL/kg group were higher than those in control groups (x2=15.02-16.00, P ＜ 0.05). ③ The comparison on level of the activity of hormone sensitive lipase and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) of rats in each group after feeding 1 week The activity of gastrocnemius muscle of hormone sensitive lipase in beer 36 mL/kg group were prominently lower than those of control groups (P ＜ 0.01), but the activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) (P ＜ 0.01) of subcutaneous fat were prominently higher than those in control groups (P ＜ 0.01). The activities of lipoprotein lipase (LPL)of mesentery fat tissue, subcutaneous fat and gastrocnemius muscle tissue in beer 36 mL/kg group were prominently higher than those in other beer groups and control groups (x2=19.00-20.00, P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: The intake of a certain amount of beer (36 mL/kg) might promote the capability of liver in synthesis and the transport of triacylglycerol in rats. The acceleration of lipid synthesis and storage of fat tissue such as mesentery fat tissue and the increase of fat decomposition and mobilization in peripheral tissue such as muscular tissue and subcutaneous fat would finally lead to the increase of fat.
