ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Trans fatty acids (TFAs) are derived from vegetable oil hydrogenation and can be found in most manufactured food products. Our main objective was to evaluate the effects of TFA consumption by lactating dams on cardiac glucose metabolism of adult offspring by analyzing glucose transporter-4 in the left ventricle. To investigate the energy homeostasis, insulin sensitivity and hepatic glycogen content were also measured. METHODS: Lactating Wistar rats were divided into a control group or a TFA group. The control group received a diet containing soybean oil, and the TFA group received a diet containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (total trans concentration of about 10.58 mg/g, 11.75%, of total fat) throughout the lactation period. At weaning, pups from both groups received a standard chow until 60 d of age, at which time the quantity of glucose transporter-4 in the left ventricle and hepatic glycogen were measured. Moreover, insulin sensitivity was analyzed by assessing the insulin/glucose ratio and the homeostatic model assessment index. RESULTS: TFA consumption by the pups during lactation led to a significant decrease in the cardiac content of glucose transporter-4 (P < 0.05) and in the hepatic content of glycogen (P < 0.05). Moreover, we observed impaired insulin sensitivity in the TFA group (insulin/glucose ratio and homeostatic model assessment index, P < 0.05) in adulthood. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that the consumption of hydrogenated fat, rich in TFAs, by the mothers during the lactation period caused cardiac insulin resistance in the adult progeny, thus reinforcing the hypothesis that early adaptations may cause deleterious consequences later in life.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Comparar, em ratos jovens, os efeitos metabólicos de dietas distintas, à base de óleo de palma e de gordura hidrogenada. MÉTODOS: Ratas Wistar receberam dietas com diferentes fontes lipídicas durante a lactação, as quais continuaram a ser dadas aos filhotes machos do 21º dia ao 45º dia de vida, após ajuste às recomendações da American Institute of Nutrition-93, quando estes foram decapitados. Os tecidos adiposos epididimal e perirrenal foram retirados para determinação da taxa de lipogênese in vivo com H2O e, no plasma, avaliou-se o perfil de ácidos graxos por cromatografia gasosa, além da concentração dos triacilgliceróis e colesterol total, por meio de kits enzimáticos. RESULTADOS: A substituição, na dieta, da gordura hidrogenada pelo óleo de palma aumentou, no plasma, a proporção do ácido graxo araquidônico e diminuiu a proporção do ácido essencial linolênico e a concentração dos triacilgliceróis e colesterol. Elevou o conteúdo lipídico e a taxa lipogênica do epidídimo e perirenal, repercutindo em maior peso corporal, bem como na adiposidade nesses animais. CONCLUSAO: O tipo de ácido graxo oferecido na dieta desde o período da lactação, pode influenciar o metabolismo lipídico do tecido adiposo na idade jovem, bem como o comportamento alimentar e ganho de peso corporal, com possíveis repercussões para o desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis.
