Fatty Acid Patterns

Understanding the influence of dietary fatty acids on whole fish is necessary to evaluate the degree to which fatty acids may be used for understanding foraging patterns in fish, as well as in marine mammals that consume their prey whole. Adult Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) were fed two prey items that differed significantly in fat content and fatty acid compositions. Cod were first fed squid (Illex illecebrosus, 2.0% fat) for 6 weeks, followed by Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus, 15.7% fat) for 8 weeks. Twenty whole cod were individually analyzed at each of 0, 3, 6, 11, and 14 weeks. Despite being on a low-fat squid diet, in only 3 weeks, cod fatty acid patterns changed significantly to reflect the patterns found in squid and did not further change at 6 weeks. When switched to a high-fat mackerel diet, total body fat of cod increased and the fatty acid composition of cod changed significantly in the direction of patterns found in mackerel. Despite changes in cod fatty acid signatures, cod were readily distinguished from the fatty acid signatures of their diets. Our results provide support for the use of fatty acids as indicators of diet at upper trophic levels.

Abstract ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between dietary fatty acid pattern and the risk of oral cancer (OC).MethodIn 446 patients with primary oral cancer and 448 controls, we assessed prediagnosis consumption of 159 food items by food frequency questionnaires completed within 1 week of diagnosis. Fatty acid patterns were identified using principal component analysis. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence (CI) interval was calculated.ResultsGeneral differences of fatty acid intake were observed between case and control, intake of saturated fatty acids such as C14:0, C16:0, C18:0 are higher in case than control group (p < 0.001), intake of monounsaturated fatty acid such as C18:1 is higher in case than control group (p < 0.001). We identified a fatty acid pattern which was characterized by saturated fatty acids and it explained 33.2% of the overall variability of the 32 fatty acids. The identified fatty acid pattern scores were positively associated with a higher risk of oral cancer [multivariable-adjusted OR comparing extreme quintiles, 3.325 (95%CI: 2.222, 4.975); Ptrend<0.001].ConclusionsGeneral differences of dietary fatty acids were observed between oral cancer patients and controls. A dietary fatty acids pattern, which was mainly composed of saturated fatty acids were positively correlated with the risk of oral cancer.

Quantitative fatty acid signature analysis (QFASA) is widely used to investigate trophic interactions in marine ecosystems, as nutritionally important ω 3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids at the food web base allow tracing of their trophic transfer in the food chain. By contrast, the basal resources in soil food webs comprise a wider array of trophic markers, including branched-chain, cyclopropane as well as several mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. These diverse markers allow distinguishing between the three dominant soil carbon and energy channels, the root, bacterial and fungal pathway. QFASA has not been applied yet to soil ecosystems owing to the lack of a priori data to fit the model. The present work investigates the transfer of absolute and relative trophic marker fatty acids into Collembola as dominant representatives of the soil mesofauna. Three different species were fed on a variety of single diets characteristic for the green and brown food chain. Calibration coefficients were calculated and diet estimation trials for mixed diet set-ups were performed, using a library comprising 50 different resources. However, estimation of Collembola diet was only partially successful, identifying the main components, but not the correct relative proportions. Adjustments by fat content or diet group exclusion did not improve the results. Nonetheless, this work provides, to our knowledge, a first comprehensive dataset to translate the application of QFASA from marine to soil ecosystems. This article is part of the theme issue ‘The next horizons for lipids as ‘trophic biomarkers’: evidence and significance of consumer modification of dietary fatty acids’.

Polyunsaturated Acids

Fatty acids were determined in single eggs of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). The eggs were obtained a few hours after spawning and fertilization from 4-yr-old cod kept in aquaria. By multivariate treatment of the analytical results, the composition of fatty acids was found to vary between eggs within the same spawning batch from the same female. A different variation was found between eggs from the first spawning batch from two different females. The two females had been reared under identical conditions from the egg stage, but were of different sizes at the time of spawning. The fatty acid content in the eggs from the smallest was 4% lower than in the largest. Eggs from the eighteenth spawning batch contained 23% less fatty acids than those from the first batch from the same female. The decrease differed between the acids: the monoenic acids had decreased by 29%, the polyunsaturated acids by 26%, and the saturated acids by 9%.

Erythrocytes from mature male cod, which had been starved for 1 week, contained 16.5 × 10−13 g lipid per cell, about 75% of which was phospholipid. Cholesterol represented about 11%, triglycerides 5%, free fatty acids 4%, and sterol esters 2% of the total lipid. The fatty acid composition was typical of a marine lipid, and in general erythrocyte lipids closely resembled cod muscle (cellular) lipid.

Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of 2’fucosyllactose (2’FL) and fat blends on growth, body composition and fatty acid profile of the liver and brain using the neonatal pig as a model for the human infant. Methods Pigs (3 d old) were randomly assigned to either: 1. control, 2. Palm Olein (PO) fat blend – Low 2'-FL, 3. PO – High 2'-FL, 4. High oleic acid (HO) – Low 2'-FL, 5. HO FB – High 2'-FL, 6. PO FB – GLA, or 7. kept with their sows. Pigs in groups 1 to 6 received 250 ml·kg−1·d−1 of formula in 5 equal meals for 15 d. On day 14 of the study, groups 1–6 received intraperitoneal E. coli LPS challenge at 100 µg·kg−1 weight. Results Body weight was greater for piglets fed by sows than those in the other groups (P &lt; 0.001). In addition, % fat and bone mineral content were higher in the sow-fed group while lean % was less sow-fed piglets (group 7) compared with those in the other groups (P &lt; 0.05). Only longissimus weight expressed as a % of body weight, was greater for group 7 compared with all other groups (P &lt; 0.001). Soleus, semitendinosus, brain, heart and spleen weights as a % of body weight were similar across all groups. However, liver weight as a % of body weight was greater in groups 1–6 (3.7%) compared with group 7 (2.8%; P &lt; 0.001). The proportion of brain 16:1 fatty acid was less (0.83%) for groups 1–6 than for group 7 pigs (1.08%; P &lt; 0.0001). The proportion of 20:3 N6 was greatest (0.66%) for group 3 compared with groups 1 and 4 (0.55%; P &lt; 0.05). In addition, the proportion of 20:5 N3 was greatest (0.12%) for group 3 compared with groups 1 and 7 (0.07%; P &lt; 0.05). The proportion of liver 16:1, 18:0, and 18:1 cis-11 fatty acids were greater for group 7 (2.3, 23, 2.2%) than groups 1–6 (0.2, 20, 1.2%; P &lt; 0.0001). Conversely, the contribution of 14:0, 18:1 cis-9, 18:3 N6 cis-6,9,12, and 22:6 N3 were greater for pigs in groups 1–6 (1.3, 0.6, and 14, 7.8%) compared with those in group 7 (0.5, 8.5, 0.2 and 3.5%; P &lt; 0.0001). Conclusions Our data suggest that feeding 2’fucosyllactose had no effect on the body weight gain and composition in neonatal pigs. Our data also suggest that dietary fatty acids have a greater effect on liver than on brain fatty acid composition. Funding Sources Funding for the work was provided by Perrigo Nutritionals, LLC.

Chemotaxonomic Study

A chemotaxonomic study was carried out on representative strains of 13 Aeromonas genomic species. Quinone, polyamine, and fatty acid patterns were found to be very useful for an improved characterization of the genus and an improved differentiation from members of the families Enterobacteriaceae and Vibrionaceae. The Q-8-benzoquinone was the predominant ubiquinone, and putrescine and diaminopropane were the major poly amines of the genus. The fatty acid patterns of 181 strains, all characterized by DNA–DNA hybridization, showed a great homogeneity within the genus, with major amounts of hexadecanoic acid (16:0), hexadecenoic acid (16:1), and octadecenoic acid (18:1), and minor amounts of the hydroxylated fatty acids (3-OH 13:0, 2-OH 14:0, 3-OH 14:0) in addition to some iso and anteiso branched fatty acids (i-13:0, i-17:1, i-17:0, and a-17:0). Although some differences in fatty acid profiles between the genomic species could be observed, a clearcut differentiation of all species was not possible.Key words: Aeromonas, polyamines, quinones, fatty acids, differentiation.
