Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The influence of a fat-free diet on the molecular species composition of phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylinositol (PI) of rat liver microsomes was studied by using reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. In the three phosphoglyceride classes analyzed, the fat-free diet produced a large decrease in the 18:0/20:4n-6 species but less important changes were found in the 16:0/20:4n-6 species. In PC, the most abundant phosphoglyceride class of rat liver microsomes, the fall in the 18:0/20:4n-6 species was counterbalanced mainly by an enhancement in the 16:0/18:1n-9 species although it was not evident in PE. In PI, the decrease in the 18:0/20:4n-6 species was counterbalanced by an increase in the 18:0/20:3n-9 species. Fluorescence polarization measurements of 1,7-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene in liposomes of 16:0/18:1n-9, 18:0/18:1n-9-, 16:0/20:4n-6-, and 18:0/20:4n-6-PC indicated that the change in the saturated fatty acid in the sn-1 position accompanying the replacement of 20:4n-6 by 18:1n-9 could be very important for a homeoviscous compensation, maintaining the membrane physical properties without large alterations in spite of the essential fatty acid deficiency due to the fat-free diet.
