Hamsters were fed a control diet or diets containing palm, olive, safflower, or fish oil for 2 weeks. In villus cell populations from duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, rates of intestinal fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis were estimated, as were sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1a, SREBP-1c, SREBP-2, HMG-CoA synthase, fatty acid synthase, ATP citrate lyase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase mRNA levels, and SREBP-1 and SREBP-2 mass. Plasma cholesterol and triacylglcerol levels were increased in animals ingesting palm oil and decreased in animals ingesting fish oil. Fatty acid synthesis and fatty acid synthase activity were decreased in the proximal intestine of animals ingesting all the fat-containing diets. Intestinal cholesterol synthesis was unaltered. In animals fed fat, SREBP-1c gene expression was modestly increased in the duodenum of hamsters fed palm oil or olive oil, and decreased in animals ingesting safflower oil or fish oil. Fatty acid synthase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, ATP citrate lyase, SREBP-2, and HMG-CoA synthase mRNA levels were not altered, nor were SREBP-1 or SREBP-2 mass. In the intestine, dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids suppress SREBP-1c mRNA without altering expression of its target genes, fatty acid synthase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, or ATP citrate lyase.
Fatty acid influx decreases intestinal fatty acid synthesis by a posttranscriptional mechanism independent of the SREBP pathway.
