The effects of a vegetable oil-based infant formula, virtually devoid of
n-6 and n-3 long chain polyenoid fatty acids (LCP) and high in 18:2(n-6)
and 18:2(n-6)/18:3(n-3) ratio, on brain synaptosome lipid composition and
enzyme thermotropic behavior were studied in neonatal piglets. Term
gestation piglets were fed either sow milk (SMF) or formula (FF) from birth
for 5, 10, 15, or 25 days. Synaptosomal cholesterol, total lipid
phosphorus, and phospholipid class composition did not differ between SMF
and FF piglets. Synaptosomal fatty acid composition, however, was
influenced by diet. The proportion of n-3 LCP, especially 22:6(n-3), was
decreased, while the n-6 LCP, especially 22:4(n-6) and 22:5(n-6), were
increased in FF compared to SMF piglets. These diet-related changes were
most pronounced in the ethanolamine glycerophospholipid fraction and
increased with the duration of feeding. FF thus reversed an apparent
developmental increase in the synaptosomal n-3/n-6 LCP ratio. The monoene
content, especially 18:1, was also reduced in the synaptosomes of FF
compared to SMF pigs. FF had no effect on the activity of synaptosomal
acetylcholinesterase. However, higher transition temperatures for this
enzyme, indicating decreased membrane fluidity, were found in the FF
compared to SMF piglets. The data suggest that exclusive feeding of
proprietary formulae, devoid of LCP and high in 18:2(n-6) and/or the 18:2
(n- 6)/18:3(n-3) ratio, may compromise normal fatty acid accretion and
physical properties of brain synaptosomal membranes.
