Chain-shortening of erucic acid and microperoxisomal beta-oxidation in rat small intestine.


ABSTRACT: The ability of rat small intestine to chain-shorten C22:1 fatty acids was investigated. Radioactive chain-shortened products, mainly C18:1, were demonstrated in intestinal-lymph lipids after intraluminal injection of [14-14C]erucic acid. Chain-elongation to C24:1 was also observed. Adaptation to a diet containing C22:1 fatty acids (partially hydrogenated-marine-oil diet) slightly increased the percentage of chain-shortened products. Microperoxisomal beta-oxidation activity, measured as CN(-)-insensitive palmitoyl-CoA-dependent NAD+ reduction, was detected in a microperoxisome-enriched fraction from mucosal scrapings. This activity was increased 1.9-fold by a soya-bean-oil diet, and 2.7-fold by a diet containing partially hydrogenated marine oil.
