We tested the effect of dietary fat on the lipid composition and hydrolase activity of jejunal brush border membranes in piglets. Eighteen 5-wk-old piglets were divided into three groups and for 4 wk fed either an unsaturated low fat diet (3.2% corn oil), an unsaturated high fat diet (17.2% corn oil) or a saturated high fat diet (2.2% corn oil + 15% tallow). Brush border membranes were prepared from the jejunal mucosa and analyzed for cholesterol, phospholipid and fatty acids. The activities of sucrase-isomaltase, lactase-phlorizin hydrolase, maltase-glucoamylase, aminopeptidase and alkaline phosphatase were measured. Lactase-phlorizin hydrolase isoforms were immunopurified and separated by SDS-PAGE, and their relative proportions were measured by densitometry. The activities of the disaccharidases and alkaline phosphatase, but not aminopeptidase, were greater in animals fed the saturated high fat diet than in animals fed the unsaturated high fat diet. The fatty acid composition of the membranes generally reflected the composition of the diet. Correlation analysis demonstrated that the phospholipid, fatty acid and cholesterol compositions of the membranes were associated with the differences in brush border hydrolase activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007583 Jejunum The middle portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between DUODENUM and ILEUM. It represents about 2/5 of the remaining portion of the small intestine below duodenum. Jejunums
D008563 Membrane Lipids Lipids, predominantly phospholipids, cholesterol and small amounts of glycolipids found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. These lipids may be arranged in bilayers in the membranes with integral proteins between the layers and peripheral proteins attached to the outside. Membrane lipids are required for active transport, several enzymatic activities and membrane formation. Cell Membrane Lipid,Cell Membrane Lipids,Membrane Lipid,Lipid, Cell Membrane,Lipid, Membrane,Lipids, Cell Membrane,Lipids, Membrane,Membrane Lipid, Cell,Membrane Lipids, Cell
D008871 Microvilli Minute projections of cell membranes which greatly increase the surface area of the cell. Brush Border,Striated Border,Border, Brush,Border, Striated,Borders, Brush,Borders, Striated,Brush Borders,Microvillus,Striated Borders
D010694 Lactase-Phlorizin Hydrolase A multifunctional protein that contains two enzyme domains. The first domain (EC 3.2.1.62) hydrolyzes glycosyl-N-acylsphingosine to a sugar and N-acylsphingosine. The second domain (EC 3.2.1.108) hydrolyzes LACTOSE and is found in the intestinal brush border membrane. Loss of activity for this enzyme in humans results in LACTOSE INTOLERANCE.

D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol

D004186 Disaccharidases Enzymes belonging to the class of GLYCOSIDE HYDROLASES which break down DISACCHARIDES into simpler sugars, MONOSACCHARIDES. Disaccharidase
D005223 Fats The glyceryl esters of a fatty acid, or of a mixture of fatty acids. They are generally odorless, colorless, and tasteless if pure, but they may be flavored according to origin. Fats are insoluble in water, soluble in most organic solvents. They occur in animal and vegetable tissue and are generally obtained by boiling or by extraction under pressure. They are important in the diet (DIETARY FATS) as a source of energy. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
