Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) mixtures demonstrated anti-atherogenic properties in several animal models including hamsters, but the mechanism of action of the main food-derived CLA isomer is unknown in this species. This study thus focused on the cis9,trans11-CLA (rumenic acid), and its effect was compared to that of fish oil, known to influence several aspects of atherogenesis. Syrian hamsters were fed for 12 weeks diets containing 20% (w/w) butter-fat (B diet), or the same diet augmented with either 1% w/w of a cis9,trans11-CLA-rich oil (BR) or 1% w/w fish oil (BF). The cis9,trans11-CLA-rich diet (BR) induced the lowest aortic lipid deposition (-30 to -45%) among the butter oil-fed hamsters. In this group, plasma also displayed reduced non HDL-/HDL-cholesterol ratio (21% less than in the butter-oil group) and inflammatory serum amyloid A (SAA) levels (70-80%), and an improvement of the anti-LDLox paraoxonase activity (all P < 0.05). In comparison to the B group, the beneficial effects of rumenic acid-rich diet could be further explained in part by preventing high VCAM-1 expression rate, increasing (30%) ABCA-1 expression in aorta, and down-regulating expression of inflammatory-related genes (TNF
, IL-1
, and COX-2, 2 to 2.8 fold, P < 0.05). This effect was partly associated to an activation of the PPAR's-LXR
signalling cascade. Interestingly, activation of the PPARs-LXRa signalling was not observed in hamsters fed the diet augmented with fish oil in which the early signs of atherogenesis were increased. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that milk-fat rich in cis9,trans11-CLA reduces the atherogenic process in hyperlipidemic hamsters.
