title: Effect of dietary fats on hydroperoxide-induced chemiluminescence emission and eicosanoid release in the rat heart.
abstract: The effect of diets supplemented with three different fats (olive oil, sunflower oil, pork fat) on the susceptibility of the rat heart to oxidative stress and on the rate of eicosanoid release were studied. Our results show that when fatty-acid unsaturation of heart lipids is increased or vitamin E is decreased, even to a low degree, a marked enhancement of the susceptibility to hydroperoxide-induced oxidative stress (measured by chemiluminescence emission) occurs, which is associated with an increase of eicosanoid release from the heart.
