Effect of dietary fat on biliary lipids composition of gallbladder bile in miniature swine (Sus scrofa).
1. Weaning animals (34 days old) were fed for 6 months with four diets that differed only in the quantity and quality of fat sources (control group 3.2% (w/w), lard-fed group 7.6% (w/w), olive-oil-fed group 10.4% (w/w), and sunflower-oil-fed group 10.5% (w/w). Samples were collected and assessed after animals were killed at 6 months of age. 2. Our results show that the quality of fat did not alter biliary lipids composition of the gallbladder bile composition in miniature swine after 6 months adaptation to the diet, except for a significant increase of the phospholipid concentration in the lard-fed group with regard to the control group. 3. The highest and lowest bile cholesterol saturation indices were observed in sunflower and lard-fed groups, respectively showing in all cases saturation indices far from the saturation point.
