摘要
OBJECTIVE: Oral treatment with oleoyl-estrone induces the loss of body fat and improvement of insulin resistance. Since cholesterol levels are deeply affected by oleoyl-estrone, we investigated here whether short-term treatment affected cholesterol turnover and overall metabolite changes. DESIGN: Wistar female rats received a single oral dose of 10 mmol/kg oleoyl-estrone in 0.2 ml of sunflower oil. Groups of animals were killed at timed intervals and blood samples were taken. In a second experiment series, rats had implanted carotid and jugular cannulas and were given a single gavage of oleoyl-estrone. These rats were used for the measurement of the cholesterol turnover rate. MEASUREMENTS: Body weight change and food intake: Glucose, total and HDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerols, 3-hydroxybutyrate, nonesterified fatty acids, insulin, HOMA score in the rats of the first series. Cholesterol: Cholesterol pool changes and cholesterol turnover rates in the rats of the second series. RESULTS: OE induced early effects, decreasing food intake, cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol levels, and increasing insulin sensitivity (HOMA score). OE also increased cholesteryl-ester turnover, and decreased circulating total cholesterol, especially esterified cholesterol pools. CONCLUSIONS: The role of early changes in insulin sensitivity induced by oral OE cannot explain per se the deep changes in cholesterol handling, essentially a consequence of accelerated lipoprotein turnover. However, the increase in cholesteryl-ester turnover observed with OE treatment may be, at least in part, a consequence of the decrease in insulin resistance. The compounded effect of increased insulin sensitivity and accelerated lipoprotein turnover may help explain the early and marked hypocholesterolaemic effects of OE.
