We examined the intestinal delivery of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) given in their triacylglycerol form in the mesenteric lymph of rats. Emulsions containing a mixture of the trilinolein/triester of CLA (9:1) and a tri-[1-14C]-linoleyl-sn-glycerol tracer were administered by force-feeding. Lymph was collected over two time periods (0–6 and 6–24 h), and the apparent recovery of CLA was determined relative to that of [1-14C]-18:2(n-6). A mixture of CLA-triester/trilinolein (1:9), trilinolein or CLA-triester was separately subjected to pancreatic lipase hydrolysis in vitro to determine whether the lymphatic recovery of CLA was correlated with the initial step of digestion. Lymphatic recovery of CLA was similar to that of 18:2(n-6) (95.6 ± 9.0% of the linoleic acid recovery), and isomer repartition was similar in lymph and in the oil fed, indicating that all the CLA isomers were equally absorbed by the enterocytes. Unexpectedly, the in vitro release of CLA into the absorbable forms (free fatty acids and 2-monoacyl-sn-glycerol) was consistently lower than that of 18:2(n-6). Moreover, the 9c,11t-isomer of CLA was also released faster into the absorbable forms than its 10t,12c homolog (P = 0.05). We cannot ascribe a distinct cellular accumulation or a difference in the biological effects of different CLA isomers on the ground of a selective intestinal absorbability. Also, the physiological conditions prevailing in vivo in the digestive tract are likely to overcome the relative resistance of CLA ester bonds to pancreatic lipase hydrolysis and allow a lymphatic recovery of CLA similar to that of linoleic acid.

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA)2 , a collective term describing positional and geometrical isomers of linoleic acid, have been receiving attention in the past decade because of their pleiotropic biological activities. For instance, these fatty acids are effective anticarcinogens, antiatherosclerotic agents, fat reducers and potent modulator of the immune function (see reviews Banni and Martin 1998Citation , Belury 1995Citation , Doyle 1998Citation , Fitch Haumann 1996Citation , Fritsche and Steinhart 1998Citation , Ip et al. 1994Citation , Parodi 1997Citation ). Surprisingly, little is known about the intestinal absorption of CLA. However, the intestine is the first step of nutrient delivery to tissues and as such may modulate the bioavailability of the ingested fatty acids, and further their biological effects. In that respect, not all the CLA isomers accumulated similarly in body tissues. In feeding experiments using a commercial mixture of CLA isomers given as free fatty acids, the 9c,11t-isomer was usually recovered in the adipose tissue to a larger extent than the 10t,12c homolog (Kramer et al. 1998Citation , Sugano et al. 1997Citation ), suggesting a different intestinal absorption rate between both isomers. Only one study examined the intestinal transport of dietary CLA through the lymphatic pathway in rats (Sugano et al. 1997Citation ). The total lymphatic recovery of CLA was <70% that of linoleic acid. Unfortunately, the analytical conditions used were likely to produce inaccurate values regarding the CLA isomer profile recovered in lymph, as evidenced by the unusual high level of tt-isomer found (Banni and Martin 1998Citation , Kramer et al. 1997Citation , Werner et al. 1992Citation ). On the other hand, in an older study, the free fatty acid and the triacylglycerol form have been reported to differentially modify the rate and possibly the extent of the blood CLA recovery over 48 h (Reiser 1950Citation ). In that instance, CLA in the triacylglycerol form featured a more rapid apparent absorption than the free form. The CLA total recovery and isomers absorption profile have not been addressed in that latter study (Reiser 1950Citation ).

A mixture of CLA isomers acylated in triacylglycerols and blended with a trilinolein carrier was administrated to lymph-canulated rats. Their quantitative and qualitative recoveries were determined over 24 h. The activity of the pancreatic lipase, the main lipolytic enzyme in the duodenum, and the hydrolytic products’ composition were also measured in vitro to determine whether the lymphatic apparent recovery of CLA was correlated with the initial step of hydrolysis in the lumen.

Chemicals.

All chemicals and linoleic acid (99% pure) were supplied by Sigma-Aldrich-Supelco (Saint Quentin Fallavier, France). [1-14C]-linoleic acid (2 GBq/mmol) acid was purchased from Amersham (Amersham, Courtaboeuf, France). Solvents were from SDS (Peypin, France). Hexane, chloroform, methanol, acetone and acetonitrile were distilled before use. The other solvents were of HPLC grade. CLA was a generous gift of Natural Lipids (Hovdebygda, Norway), and the purity was increased to 95.3% after an additional preparative HPLC enrichment step (Table 1Citation ). Silica gel plate (20 x 20 cm, 2.5 mm thickness) as well as silicic acid for column chromatography (Silica Si, particle size 70–200 mesh) were from SDS (Peypin, France). Nylon tubing (7.5 cm o.d.) was from Walter Coles, Co. (London, United Kingdom).

Experimental oils.

Triacyl-sn-glycerols were synthesized with 1 mol of glycerol esterified with 3 mol of free fatty acids solubilized in CH2Cl2, and 3.3 mol of 4-dimethylaminopyridine in the presence of 1,1'-diclyclocarbodiimide as described elsewhere (Kodali et al. 1987Citation , Martin et al. 1997Citation ). Triesters of CLA, trilinolein and tri-[1-14C]linolein (40 GBq/mmol) were prepared therefrom. The test oil administered to rats was made up of a mixture of both trilinolein and triesters of CLA (9:1, wt/wt), and 90 to 150 kBq of tri-[1-14C]linolein.

Animals, surgery and lymph collection.

Official French regulations (n°87848) for the care and use of laboratory animals were followed (n°03056). Male Wistar rats weighing 180–250 g were obtained from Center d’élevage Dépré (Saint Doulchard, France). They were housed for 1 wk before the study in a controlled environment, with constant temperature and humidity and a dark period from 2000 to 0800 h. They were fed the standard nonpurified diet AO4 containing 3.5 g/100 g lipid (UAR Villemoisson sur Orge, Epinay sur Orge, France) and had free access to tap water. A laparotomy was performed under slight ethyl-ether anesthesia on fed rats. Mesenteric lymph duct cannulation was performed using a heparinized polyethylene catheter (n°1, i.d. 0.3., o.d. 0.7; Biotrol, Paris, France) (Caselli et al. 1979Citation , Martin et al. 1997Citation ). Immediately after the surgery, rats were placed in restraining cages in an air-conditioned room (25°C). They did not receive solid food but had free access to a water solution containing sodium chloride (7 g/L) and potassium chloride (2 g/L).

After 16 h of food deprivation, basal lymph was collected for 1 h in tubes placed inside Dewar flasks containing ice, immediately before lipid administration. Then 250 mg of one of the experimental oils was administered intragastrically. The lymph was collected during two time periods (0–6 and 6–24 h) from conscious rats. Only rats with a basal lymph flow over 0.8 mL/h were considered. Rats in which the basal lymph flow did not increase two to three times during lipid absorption or whose lymph flow was perturbed by clotting were discarded. The samples were immediately treated for both morphological study of lipoproteins and lipid extraction.

Pancreatic lipase hydrolysis.

The standard assay medium and conditions used have been already reported and validated (Martin et al. 1997Citation ). Briefly, 10 mg of triacylglycerol from each of the experimental oils (triester of CLA, trilinolein or the mixture of trilinolein/triester of CLA, 9:1, wt/wt), was digested in the presence of 0.1 g/L sodium taurocholate and 1.8 g/L CaCl2 at 37°C with 20 µg (2,000 U) of pancreatic lipase (E. 3.1.1.3, type VI-S) and 4 µg of colipase. The reaction was stopped at selected time points (2, 5, 10, 20 and 40 min) by acidification with diluted HCl. One portion (2:5) of the extracted lipids was further fractionated by TLC to obtain the free fatty acids and the 2-monoacyl-sn-glycerol released (Martin et al. 1997Citation ). The other portion was used for gas chromatography analysis of the total lipid profile. The velocity of the triacylglycerol substrate hydrolysis by the lipase was calculated from v = k.[S]. The first order constant k was determined graphically from kt = -2.3 x log ([TG]t/[TG]t0), where [TG]t denotes the amount of triacylglycerol substrate remaining at time t, and [TG]to denotes the initial amount of triacylglycerol in the assay medium (36 µmol/L). The initial velocity was determined for [S] = [TG]t0. The disappearance of substrate triacylglycerols was monitored by gas chromatography (see below). Each assay was duplicated.

Lipid analysis.

Lymph lipids were extracted with methylal/methanol (4:1, v/v) (Delsal 1944Citation ). These lipids and the 2-monoacyl-sn-glycerol lipolytic recovered from the lipolytic products were transmethylated according to the method of Carreau and Dubacq (1978)Citation as used elsewhere (Sébédio et al. 1997Citation ). The free fatty acids arising from the pancreatic lipase hydrolysis were methylated for 30 min at room temperature with 140 g/L boron trifluoride in methanol (Werner et al. 1992Citation ). After methylation, samples containing CLA were further fractionated by reversed-phase HPLC, and both linoleic acid and the CLA isomers contained in the diene fraction were quantified by polar capillary column-gas chromatography as described (Lavillonnière et al. 1998Citation ).

The analysis of the total hydrolytic products arising from the in vitro lipolysis (i.e., free fatty acid, monoacyl-sn-glycerol, diacylglycerol, remaining triacylglycerol) was carried out on short nonpolar capillary column-gas chromatography (Kuksis et al. 1993Citation , Martin et al. 1997Citation ) but without any further derivatization. Quantification was made after correction of the detector response using real standards, and the results were expressed in mol/100 mol.

Lymph particles size determination.

An aliquot of each lymph fraction was prepared (Caselli et al. 1979Citation ) for the transmission electron microscope observation of lipoproteins.

Simultaneously, a second part of the two lymph fractions collected was diluted (1:2) in a saline solution (9 g/L) to determine the size partition of lipoprotein particles using a laser granulometer (Malvern Instruments, Orsay, France).

Fatty acid percentage recovery.

The percentage of apparent fractional recovery of CLA into lymph was calculated from the relative recovery of 18:2(n-6) according to the formula:






where the subscript D refers to diet, the subscript L refers to lymph, [14C] refers to the radioactivity in lymph lipids (in dpm/mg or dpm in total lipid, as indicated) and the fractional recovery determined by the radioactivity recovered during the selected time fractions (i.e., 0–6 and 6–24 h).

Statistics.

Results were computed and statistically analyzed by the SigmaStat® software (Jandel Scientific, San Rafael, CA). For the lymph recovery experiment (n = 5), comparisons were made using the Student’s t test or the one-way ANOVA (or the ANOVA on Ranks when the normality test failed), as indicated. One-way repeated measures of variances (or one-way repeated measures of variances on ranks when the normality test failed) compared the in vitro hydrolytic features among the test oils according to time-treatment (n = 6 time-treatments per test oil). Student-Newman-Keuls test was used as soon as heterogeneity among groups was demonstrated by the ANOVA. The level of significance was set at P <= 0.05.

The electron microscope observations detected essentially chylomicrons during the first time period (0–6 h) of the lymph collected (Fig. 1ACitation ). Accordingly, the granulometric analysis detected particles of various size >140 nm (88% between 140 and 190 nm) with only few of very large diameter (5% with a size over 280 nm) (Fig. 1CCitation ).

Many chylomicrons were still observed during the second time period (6–24 h; Fig. 1BCitation ) (65% of the lipoproteins particles are over 100 nm). Of the remaining particles (size inferior to 100 nm), 35% were thus considered to be VLDL (Fig. 1DCitation ).

In vitro hydrolysis.

Significant differences between the hydrolytic features of the test oils were not observed (Fig. 2Citation ). Nonetheless, slightly less monoacylglycerol was produced during the hydrolysis of the triester of CLA (Fig. 2BCitation ), whereas dilinolein was released at a faster rate from the trilinolein substrate during the early times of digestion (Fig. 2CCitation ). On the other hand, the initial velocity of lipase (calculated under conditions equivalent to a constant substrate saturation of the enzyme) was significantly higher when the triester of CLA was added to trilinolein, compared to trilinolein alone (v = 49.1 µmol triacylglycerol/(min · mg) and v = 41.2 µmol triacylglycerol/(min · mg), respectively, P = 0.05). An intermediary value was found with triester of CLA (v = 45.7 µmol triacylglycerol/(min · mg), P > 0.05). The presence of 18:2(n-6) in the mixture oil caused a faster release of the 9c,11t-isomer over the 10t,12c-isomer, both as free fatty acids and 2-monoacyl-sn-glycerol (Fig. 3Citation ). Conversely, in the test oil composed of the triester of CLA, both the 9c,11t- and 10t,12c-isomers were similarly released into the 2-monoacyl-sn-glycerol and free fatty acids moieties (Fig. 3)Citation . In addition, when present together in the test oil, the breakdown of the triester of CLA was less efficient than that of trilinolein, as shown by the significant enrichment of the 2-monoacyl-sn-glycerol and free fatty acids moieties with linoleate (P = 0.05) (Fig. 4Citation ). The enrichment was even greater in 2-monoacyl-sn-glycerol.

Lymphatic recovery of CLA.

The lymph lipids at the baseline were high in both palmitic and linoleic acids, with no CLA dectected (Table 2Citation ). As expected, the administered fatty acids (linoleic acid and CLA) increased over time, peaking in the 0–6-h time fraction. The fatty acid composition of the 6–24-h fraction featured intermediary values between those of the baseline and 0–6-h fractions. This was due to the termination of dietary lipid absorption and to a greater proportion of the endogenous pool contributing to the lymph lipid composition. As expected, CLA apparent recovery per hour was greater during the first 6 h than during the 6–24-h period (Table 3Citation ). This phase corresponded to the peak of dietary fat absorption (Carlier et al. 1991Citation , Tso 1994Citation ) as evidenced by the presence of large-size chylomicrons which were much more abundant during the first 6 h of the test oil digestion (Fig. 1)Citation . The CLA fractional and total apparent recoveries were not different from those of linoleic acid over the 24 h of lymph collection.

The CLA isomer distribution in lymph was similar to that of the test oil (Fig. 5Citation ). Especially, similar proportions of the 9c,11t- and 10t,12c-isomers were found in lymph, irrespective of the time fraction considered. The only noticeable differences between the test oil and the lymph lipid were the lower all-trans isomers of CLA found in the 6–24-h lymph lipid fraction (P = 0.05).

Our study was designed to evaluate the intestinal digestibility and lymphatic recovery of glycerol esters of CLA. For this, we carried out an in vivo experiment complemented by an in vitro pancreatic lipase assay.

The lymphatic absorption of conjugated linoleate was as high as that of linoleate during both phases of lipid absorption considered in our study (Table 3)Citation . More than half of the CLA in lymph was transported during the first 6 h after force-feeding (Table 3)Citation , which corresponds to the peak of lipid digestion and absorption by the intestine (Carlier et al. 1991Citation , Tso 1994Citation ). This value is higher than that reported by Sugano et al. (1997)Citation in lymph cannulated rats (<70% relative to linoleic acid), but with CLA given as free acids. It should be noted that another methodology for the determination of fatty acid recovery was used, which makes a direct comparison with our study difficult. However, consistent with this, Reiser et al. (1950)Citation found many years ago that CLA accumulation was higher in rat tissue and plasma lipids when these fatty acids were given as triacylglycerols rather than as free acids in the diet. We propose that the triacylglycerol form could be more advantageous than the free form to improve the lymphatic absorption of CLA.

Unexpectedly, the in vitro release of CLA by the lipase into the free form and 2-monoacyl-sn-glycerol form was consistently less than for linoleic acid (Fig. 4)Citation . In addition, the release of the 9c,11t-isomer of CLA by the lipase was faster than that of the 10t,12c-isomer (Fig. 3)Citation . These findings are not consistent with the above-reported similar recovery of CLA and linoleate (Table 3)Citation , nor with the similar CLA isomer repartition determined in lymph lipids (Fig. 5)Citation . Similarly, Yang et al. (1990)Citation measured a sixfold difference between the rate of the most released and the least released fatty acid from fish oil triacylglycerol while using an identical in vitro assay (1000–5000 U of porcine pancreatic lipase, 15–25 mg of substrate). These authors mentioned that this disparity noticed in vitro only occurs under conditions of a low hydrolysis rate. They concluded that such disparity is not sufficient to account for a selective fatty acid absorption, since in vivo, the excess pancreatic lipase would alleviate this apparent resistance and allow a nondiscriminating hydrolysis of the fatty acyl ester bonds. Compared to the in vitro situation, the participation of the other digestive lipases in vivo (i.e., gastric and carboxylester lipases) and/or the quality of the emulsion in the duodenum (Armand 1998Citation , Bernbäck et al. 1989Citation , Carey et al. 1983Citation , Chen et al. 1989Citation and 1994Citation , Iverson et al. 1991Citation ) might additionally help to overcome this apparent lower efficiency of the pancreatic lipase toward glycerol esters of CLA.

In contrast to our findings, Sugano et al. (1997)Citation found that not all of the individual CLA isomers were equally absorbed when administered as free fatty acids, and that the tt-isomers became the main isomers present in lymph. The discrepancy between this study and ours is likely to arise from the analytic procedure used to quantify CLA by gas chromatography, which required derivatization into methyl esters. The derivatization method applied by these authors generates large amounts of tt-isomers from the ct- and tc-precursors (Banni and Martin 1998Citation , Kramer et al. 1997Citation , Shantha et al. 1993Citation , Werner et al. 1992Citation ).

An intriguing observation in the in vitro assay was the significantly higher initial velocity of pancreatic lipase when triesters of CLA were present in the test oils. This deserves a more careful in vivo examination, especially in cases of low pancreatic lipase, since it suggests that the triester of CLA would enhance the efficiency of overall fat digestion in the lumen.

In conclusion, when given as a triacylglycerol, the two main CLA isomers (9c,11t- and 10t,12c-isomers) were equally transported through the lymphatic pathway, which is the main route of long-chain fatty acid delivery to the interior milieu (Besnard et al. 1996Citation , Carey et al. 1983Citation ). Therefore, based on our results, one cannot ascribe a distinct cellular accumulation or a difference in the biological activity between CLA isomers due to selective absorbability. Also, the lymphatic recovery of CLA given in the triacylglycerol form was not different from that of linoleate [96% of that of 18:2(n-6)]. Our results also point out that in the mixture oil, the lower efficiency of pancreatic lipase toward ester bonds of CLA observed in vitro, and especially from those of the 10t,12c-isomer, can be overcome by the physiologic conditions prevailing in the intestinal tract.
