We investigated the dietary influence of low and high levels of fish oil, supplemented with or without dietary cholesterol, on the plasma lipoprotein profile in Bio F1B hamsters, a model susceptible to diet-induced hyperlipidaemia. The MIX diet, a diet supplemented with a mixture of lard and safflower-seed oil, was used as the control diet to maintain the saturated MUFA and PUFA levels similar to the fish-oil diet. The animals were fed the specific diets for 2 weeks and fasted for 14h before killing. The plasma from the animals fed high levels of fish oil was milky and rich in chylomicron-like particles. The plasma total cholesterol, VLDL- and LDL-cholesterol and -triacylglycerol concentrations were significantly higher, whereas HDL-cholesterol was lower in hamsters fed fish oil compared with the MIX-diet-fed hamsters. Increasing the amount of fat in the diet increased plasma lipids in both the fish-oil- and the MIX-diet-fed hamsters; however, this hyperlipidaemic effect of dietary fat level was greater in the hamsters fed the fish-oil diet. The hepatic lipid concentrations were not dramatically different between the fish-oil-fed and the MIX-diet-fed hamsters. However, the hepatic LDL-receptor mRNA levels were significantly low in the fish-oil-fed hamsters compared with the MIX-diet-fed hamsters. Increasing the amount of fish oil in the diet further decreased the hepatic LDL-receptor mRNA expression. It is concluded that F1B hamsters are susceptible to fish-oil-induced hyperlipidaemia, especially at high fat levels, and this increase is partially explained by the inhibition of hepatic LDL-receptor mRNA expression.

Cell-mediated immunity, which includes interferon gamma (IFN-γ) expression, is activated during the process of liver regeneration; however, the genetic pathway of this activation is still unclear. The present study evaluated variations in the interferon gamma receptor (IFN-γR) gene and its mRNA expression during liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PH). Male Wistar rats weighing approximately 200 g were subjected to PH (70 or 40%). IFN-γR gene expression in the remnant liver was measured by cDNA microarray, and mRNA expression was verified by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) preoperatively and at 2, 4, 6,12, 24, and 72 hours and 7 days postoperatively. The ratio of remnant liver weight to body weight increased markedly after 70 per cent PH and more gradually after 40 per cent PH. It reached near 90 per cent of the preoperative level at 72 hours after PH in both groups. The scanned spots of the genomic survey on the cDNA microarray chips were uneven and increased irregularly in number and density after PH. IFN-γR gene expression increased markedly in a single peak pattern, up to more than double the preoperative level, at 6 hours after 70 per cent PH. The curve in the 40 per cent PH group was flat and peaked at only 1.6 times the preoperative level. The variations in IFN-γR-related mRNA expression were verified by Q-PCR. Elevations in IFN-γR gene and mRNA expression were shown during the early stage of liver regeneration after PH. The genetic pathway of IFN-γ/IFN-γR expression is activated during liver regeneration.
