Time course of changes in serum oxidant/antioxidant status in overfed obese rats and their offspring.
2009
The aim of the present study was to determine the time course of changes in oxidant/antioxidant status, as well as serum glucose, insulin, leptin and lipid levels, liver adipose tissue and muscle lipid and protein contents, in cafeteria-diet-fed dams during gestation and lactation, and in their offspring throughout adulthood. Food intake was also evaluated. The cafeteria diet induced a significant increase in maternal body and relative adipose tissue weights, daily energy intake, and plasma glucose, insulin, leptin and lipid levels at parturition (day 0) and at the end of lactation (day 21). Plasma total antioxidant status [ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity)], erythrocyte catalase an…
2-hydroxy-methyl-1(N-phtaloyltryptophyl) aziridine stimule la prolifération in vitro des lymphocytes humains et la sécrétion des interleukines
2008
Resume But de l’etude Il a ete demontre que les aziridines possedent une activite immunotropique marquee. Dans ce travail, les effets in vitro d’une aziridine nouvellement synthetisee (2-hydroxy-methyl-1(N-phtaloyltryptophyl) aziridine) sont determines sur la proliferation des lymphocytes humains stimules par les agents mitogenes, et sur la secretion des interleukines 2 et 6 (IL-2, IL-6). Materiel et methodes Les lymphocytes du sang peripherique sont isoles par centrifugation differentielle dans un gradient de Ficoll-Paque. Ils sont mis en culture en presence d’agents mitogenes (concanavaline A, lipopolysaccharide) et de differentes concentrations de l’aziridine testee. La determination de …
Effect of Dietaryn-3Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Oxidant/Antioxidant Status in Macrosomic Offspring of Diabetic Rats
2014
The aim of this work was to determine the effect of dietaryn-3PUFA on oxidant/antioxidant status,in vitrovery low and low density lipoprotein (VLDL-LDL), and VLDL-LDL-fatty acid composition in macrosomic pups of diabetic mothers. We hypothesized thatn-3PUFA would improve oxidative stress in macrosomia. Diabetes was induced in female Wistar rats fed with the ISIO diet (control) or with the EPAX diet (enriched inn-3PUFAs), by streptozotocin. The macrosomic pups were killed at birth (day 0) and at adulthood (day 90). Lipid parameters and VLDL-LDL-fatty acid composition were investigated. The oxidant/antioxidant status was determined by measuring plasma oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC)…
Évaluation de la toxicité aiguë de la 2-hydroxy-méthyl-1 (N-phtaloyltryptophyl) aziridine chez le rat Wistar
2010
Objectifs : Les aziridines, molecules alkylantes a l’ADN, possedent une grande activite anticancereuse et antibiotique et modulent le systeme immunitaire. Une nouvelle aziridine, la 2-hydroxy-methyl-1 (N-phtaloyltryptophyl) aziridine, a ete synthetisee dans notre laboratoire. Cependant, sa toxicite n’est pas connue. L’objectif de ce travail est de determiner la toxicite aigue de cette aziridine chez le rat Wistar. Materiel et Methodes : Cinq lots de rats Wistar mâles recoivent une injection intra peritoneale de 9,35 mg/kg, 37,4 mg/kg, 93,5 mg/kg, 140,25 mg/kg, 187 mg/kg d’aziridine, et sont observes pendant 14 jours. Les mortalites, les modifications du comportement, du poids, et les variat…
Hepatic and very low-density lipoprotein fatty acids in obese offspring of overfed dams.
2010
The combined effects of developmental programming and high-fat feeding at weaning on fatty acid metabolism of the offspring are not well known. In the present study, we aim at characterizing the influence of maternal and offspring's own diets on liver and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) lipids; fatty acid profiles of VLDL and liver phospholipids, triglycerides, and cholesteryl esters; and hepatic enzyme activities. Twenty obese male rats born to cafeteria diet-fed dams and 20 control rats born to control diet-fed dams were selected. At weaning, 10 rats of each group were fed control or cafeteria diet. Obese rats had a significant increase in serum glucose, insulin, leptin, VLDL apolipop…
Altered adipose tissue metabolism in offspring of dietary obese rat dams.
2011
To investigate further the mechanisms of developmental programming, we analysed the effects of maternal overnutrition and of postnatal high-fat feeding on adipose tissue metabolism in the offspring. Postnatal changes in serum adiponectin, leptin and TAG [triacylglycerol (triglyceride)] levels, adipose tissue TAGs, fatty acids and enzyme activities were determined in offspring of cafeteria-diet-fed dams during gestation and lactation, weaned on to standard chow or on to cafeteria diet. Obese rats showed higher adiposity (+35% to 85%) as well as a significant increase in serum glucose, insulin, leptin, adiponectin and TAG levels (P<0.01) and adipose tissue LPL (lipoprotein lipase) and …
