Abstract

OBJECTIVE To study the influence of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3-PUFAs) on liver lipidomics in type 2 diabetic rats, and to investigate the possible molecular mechanism. METHODS Type 2 diabetes rats were induced by high-fat and high-sugar diet followed with streptozotocin injection. All rats were randomly divided into four groups:the control group, the model group, the n-3-PUFAs group and gliquidone(Glurenor) group. The animals were sacrificed after the 12 weeks of administration. The fasting blood glucose, the weight of liver, the index of liver, TG and TC contents in liver and serum were measured. The level of SREBP-1 in liver was measured by Western blot. SREBP-1 mRNA, FAS mRNA and ACC mRNA expressions were measured with RT-PCR. RESULTS The rats in n-3-PUFAs group showed characters of obesity. The TG in serum of the n-3-PUFAs group was lower than that in the model group (P<0.01). The TG contents in liver, the weight of liver and the index of liver were higher than those of model group(P<0.01). The expression levels of SREBP-1c, FAS and ACC mRNA in the n-3-PUFAs group were higher than those in the model group(P<0.01). CONCLUSION Although n-3-PUFAs reduces the level of serum TG, it causes obesity and liver lipidomics, and it can′t suppress the overexpression of SREBP-1c, FAS and ACC in the liver of type 2 diabetic rats.
