Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Some studies have reported improved reproductive performance with dietary fat supplementation. This study examined effects of fatty acids with different lengths, or desaturation, or both, on metabolism of estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) in bovine liver slice incubations (experiments 1 and 2) and in vivo (experiment 3). In experiment 1, effects of fatty acids C16:0 (palmitic acid), C16:1 (palmitoleic acid), C18:1 (oleic acid), and C18:3 (linolenic acid) were evaluated at 30, 100, and 300 microM on P4 and E2 metabolism in vitro. In experiment 2, stearic acid (C18:0) and C18:3 were evaluated in the same incubation conditions. In experiment 1, all of the fatty acids had some significant inhibitory effect on metabolism of P4, E2, or both (300 microM C16:0 on E2; 100 microM C16:1 on E2; 300 microM C16:1 on both P4 and E2; 300 microM C18:1 on P4; and 100 and 300 microM C18:3 on both P4 and E2). In experiment 2, C18:3 (100 and 300 microM) but not C18:0 decreased P4 and E2 metabolism. Overall, the most profound increase (approximately 60%) in half-life of P4 and E2 was observed with incubations of 300 microM C18:3 in both in vitro experiments. Based on these in vitro results, in experiment 3 linseed oil (rich in C18:3) was supplemented into the abomasum and acute effects on metabolism of E2 and P4 were evaluated. Cows (n=4) had endogenous E2 and P4 minimized (corpus luteum regressed, follicles aspirated) before receiving continuous intravenous infusion of E2 and P4 to analyze metabolic clearance rate for these hormones during abomasal infusion of saline (control) or 70 mL of linseed oil every 4h for 28h. Linseed oil infusion increased C18:3 in plasma by 46%; however, metabolic clearance rate for E2 and P4 were similar for control cows compared with linseed-treated cows. Thus, in vitro experiments indicated that E2 and P4 metabolism can be inhibited by high concentrations of C18:3. Nevertheless, in vivo, linseed oil did not acutely inhibit E2 and P4 metabolism, perhaps because insufficient C18:3 concentrations (increased to approximately 8 microM) were achieved. Further research is needed to determine the mechanism(s) of fatty acid inhibition of P4 and E2 metabolism and to discover practical methods to mimic this effect in vivo.
