Differential effect of sunflower seed oil on hepatic and renal D-amino acid oxidase in the rat.
1. The specific activity of hepatic and renal peroxisomal D-amino acid oxidase (D-AAOX) was measured in rats fed diets containing various quantities of vegetable oil. 2. Increasing the amount of dietary sunflower seed oil (SSO) from 10 to 25% (w/w) reduced the specific activity of hepatic D-AAOX by up to 30% after 10 days. 3. In both tissues, the enzyme activity was moderately decreased during the first two-day period after administration of the 25% SSO diet was begun. Unlike hepatic D-AAOX, renal D-AAOX returned to its baseline level in the kidney after the third day. 4. In contrast to SSO, hydrogenated coconut oil (HCO) did not evoke alterations of D-AAOX activity. 5. The activity levels of another peroxisomal enzyme, L-2-hydroxy acid oxidase (L-HAOX), in the liver of rats fed the high-SSO diet vs those fed the control diet were similar. 6. The subcellular distribution of D-AAOX and L-HAOX was not altered in the liver of rats fed the 25% SSO diet during the 10-day period.
