9-desaturation of ruminally derived trans fatty acids. Previously we observed that trans-7, cis-918:2 was the second most abundant CLA isomer in milk fat of lactating cows and we speculated that this CLA isomer may also have originated from
9-desaturation of trans-718:1 (11The objective of this study was to evaluate the extent to which CLA and tFA isomers in milk fat reflected the amounts found in the duodenal flow of lactating cows fed diets with two levels of forage with or without buffer.

Analytical procedures.
Milk samples for analysis were collected during the last 3 d (six consecutive milkings) of each treatment period. Duodenal contents were obtained every 4 or 6 h during d 1921 such that a composite of 12 samples represented sampling every 2 h over a 24-h period. The samples were frozen at -20°C, thawed, composited and freeze-dried before being ground through a 1-mm screen. The nutrient flow in the duodenum was measured using chromium oxide, mixed with the concentrate portion of the diet, fed at the rate of
20 g/d based on previous DM intake. Methods for measurement of duodenal flow of digesta have been described previously (6
). Total tFA were analyzed by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) (6
). Trans fatty acid isomers were analyzed as butyl esters (FABE), prepared from milk fat and duodenal samples by direct transesterification (11
). Total tFA butyl ester was obtained after separation of FABE on silver ion (Ag+)- thin layer chromatography (21
), using FABE of 14:0, cis-918:1, and trans-918:1 standards to locate the fractions of interest. The tFA isomers were separated on a 100-m x 0.25-mm fused silica capillary column (SP-2560; Supelco Inc., Bellefonte, PA) in a GLC system and conditions previously described (11
). The individual isomers were identified using cis and trans-18:1 fatty acids with double bonds in the 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 15 positions (Sigma Chemical Co., St Louis, MO), a trans-1018:1 (synthesized by Dr. E. Lehmann, at Hamburg University, Germany and obtained by Dr. Y. Ku), and cis and trans-18:1 fractions isolated from a shortening (21
). Capillary gas-liquid chromatography confirmed that at least 98% of each standard was the expected isomer.
Total CLA content and isomer distributions were determined by a combination of GLC and Ag+-HPLC as previously described (11
). Dry duodenal samples (0.5 g) with no previous lipid extraction, and milk fat samples extracted as previously described (11
) were methylated overnight at room temperature, using 0.04 mol/L H2SO4 in methanol, essentially as described by Christie (22
). The FAME were extracted with hexane and passed through a small bed of anhydrous KHCO3:Na2SO4 (9:1) to trap any remaining H2SO4. The extracts were dried using N2 and purified by thin layer chromatography (21
) before HPLC analysis. Aliquots (100 µL) of each sample diluted in 900 µL hexane were used in HPLC analysis. For milk samples, typical injection volumes were 15 µL, containing 40120 µg of FAME and for the duodenal samples 2550 µL, containing 2080 µg of FAME. Details on the identification and quantification of the CLA isomers by HPLC analysis were reported elsewhere (23
,24
).
Statistical analysis.
Data were analyzed as a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments in 4 x 4 Latin Square design using General Linear Models Procedure in the Statistical Analysis System of SAS, Version 6.12 (25
). The statistical model included the effect of cow, experimental period, proportion of forage, level of buffer and forage x buffer interaction. Data were reported as least-squares means. Differences were considered significant at P < 0.05.

| DISCUSSION |
|---|
|
|
|---|
It has been known for some time that tFA in ruminant fats are mixtures of several individual isomers (27
,30
,31
). More recently, ruminant milk and tissue CLA also have been shown to contain a wide variety of isomers (15
,24
,32
). In this study, in addition to the array of tFA isomers, we quantified 12 CLA isomers in both duodenal and milk fat. As has been noted herein and by others, in general, trans-1118:1 is the major tFA isomer (8
,11
,27
,30
) and cis-9, trans-1118:2 is the predominant CLA isomer in ruminant milk and tissue fat (9
,11
,15
,33
,34
). Isomers containing the trans-10 double bond were also found in cows fed all diets, indicating that they are normal constituents of CLA and tFA. The isomer trans-10, cis-1218:2 has been found in rumen fluid (35
), bovine milk and tissue fat (9
,11
,15
) and recently in duodenal contents of mature ewes (20
).
Our analyses revealed that large amounts of duodenal CLA isomers were in the trans, trans configuration. Because conditions used to generate methyl esters can influence the isomerization of CLA (36
), we were concerned that the high trans, trans-CLA content in the duodenal samples might be a reflection of sample matrix, sample preparation (freeze drying and grinding) or transesterification methodology. These concerns did not seem to be a factor because methylation of lipid previously extracted with methylene chloride/methanol and methylation of lipid from a fresh duodenal sample yielded similar proportions (data not shown) of trans, trans-18:2 isomers (Table 1)
. Additionally, the milk fat samples were methylated using the same procedure, yet these samples yielded low amounts of trans, trans isomers (Table 3)
. When the amounts of trans, trans isomers in milk fat were compared with the same isomers found in the duodenum, the ratios obtained were similar to those observed for other minor CLA isomers. For the above reasons we contend that the high levels of trans, trans CLA found in duodenal lipids reflect amounts actually produced in the rumen.
Feeding the LF + NB diet altered the total amounts and isomer distributions of CLA and tFA in duodenal and milk lipid. This was expected because the LF/high concentrate ratio in the diet provided high dietary PUFA and lowered rumen pH (6
), conditions that alter rumen biohydrogenation (6
,7
,8
,37
,38
). The LF + NB diet substantially increased the trans-10, cis-1218:2 and trans-1018:1 in the duodenal flow. However, despite the low pH (5.83) in the rumen of the LF + NB-fed cows, cis-9,trans-1118:2 was the predominant duodenal CLA and there were also large amounts of trans-1118:1 in the tFA. Kepler and Tove (39
) reported that optimum isomerization of linoleic acid by a partially purified linoleate isomerase occurred between pH 7.0 and 7.2; however, the enzyme preparation was active over a wider range. The results of this study suggested that this enzyme may have considerable activity at a lower pH as well. In this regard, Kim et al. (28
) have observed CLA formation at pH values ranging from 5.5 to 8.5 in washed suspensions of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens.
Changes in isomer distribution resulting from the LF + NB diet were alleviated by the addition of buffer (LF + B), suggesting a rumen pH effect on PUFA biohydrogenation. Russell et al. (40
) have reported that changes in pH can differentially affect rumen bacteria. We speculate that the low pH in the rumen of cows fed the LF + NB diet may have influenced bacterial population(s) possessing specific enzymes for alternative biohydrogenation pathways. Bacteria capable of generating trans-10, cis-1218:2 from linoleic acid have been reported (41
) and formation of trans-1018:1 has been suggested (4
) to occur during further biohydrogenation of trans-10,cis-1218:2 in the rumen. Nevertheless, in this study, both cis-9, trans-1118:2 and trans-10, cis-1218:2 were increased in duodenal CLA of cows fed the LF + NB diet. Thus, it appears that the low rumen pH influenced more than one biohydrogenation pathway.
As we reported previously (6
), cows fed the LF + NB diet produced milk with the lowest fat percent but the reduction in milk fat was not significant (P < 0.27). In view of the association between trans-10, cis-1218:2 and milk fat depression (42
), the level of this isomer required to substantially reduce milk fat may be greater than was found in this study. Indeed, we observed milk fat depression (11
) in lactating cows fed a diet resulting in considerably higher trans-10, cis-12 CLA in milk (0.5 g/d) compared with the level (0.14 g/d) determined in this experiment.
Except for the isomers with a cis-9 double bond, milk secretion of individual CLA isomers was less (P < 0.03) than duodenal flow, regardless of diet (Fig. 1
). This was also true for the individual tFA and suggests that, for most of the isomers, the amounts in milk were a reflection of the quantities of CLA and tFA present in the duodenum. These findings are consistent with studies (4
,6
,12
43
,44
) demonstrating that tFA and CLA are readily absorbed and transferred to milk fat. Nevertheless, in this study the total CLA in the duodenal flow were insufficient to account for the much higher amounts of milk CLA. For cows fed each diet, the amounts of cis-9, trans-1118:2 and trans-7, cis-918:2 in milk were greater than their flows to the duodenum. Our data suggest that even if all of the cis-9 containing CLA available in the duodenal flow were transferred to milk, at least 93% of the cis-9, trans-1118:2, and > 98% of trans-7, cis-918:2 were synthesized via desaturation of the appropriate trans monoenes. Conversion of dietary trans-1118:1 to cis-9, trans-1118:2 in human tissues was proposed by Parodi (45
) based on the demonstration that
9-desaturase from rat liver microsomes can introduce a double bond at the 9 position of trans-1118:1 to produce cis-9,trans-1118:2 (46
,47
). The ability of microsomes isolated from bovine mammary tissue to convert stearoyl-CoA to oleic acid in the presence of an active
9-desaturase was reported earlier by Kinsella (48
). More recently Griinari et al. (13
) and Corl et al. (49
), using abomasal infusion of sterculic oil to inhibit
9-desaturation, provided evidence that
9-desaturase is involved in the conversion of trans-1118:1 to cis-9, trans-1118:2 and can account for the higher than expected amounts of this CLA isomer in milk fat of lactating cows.

9-desaturase on trans-718:1 in bovine tissue.
As has been suggested by others (29
,49
), the endogenous synthesis of CLA would depend on the supply of ruminally derived trans-18:1 fatty acid. In the case of the cis-9, trans-1118:2, this does not seem to be a problem because the amounts of trans-1118:1 presented to the duodenum were more than sufficient to account for the amounts of cis-9,trans-11 CLA observed in milk fat. If rumen biohydrogenation is the only means by which the trans-11 double bond is produced, then the sum of these two isomers in the duodenum must exceed the total of cis-9, trans-1118:2 and trans-1118:1 in the milk. This in fact was the case for cows fed each diet (Fig. 2
) and confirmed that in addition to the duodenal cis-9,trans-1118:2, sufficient trans-1118:1 was present in the duodenum as a precursor for tissue synthesis of cis-9,trans-11 CLA via
9-desaturation. However, the availability of trans-718:1 was less clear, because the procedure used to quantify tFA isomers did not distinguish among the trans-6, trans-7, and trans-818:l isomers. Nevertheless, Katz and Keeney, (27
) have demonstrated that the trans-718:1 isomer is produced in the rumen, and Parodi (30
) has quantified this isomer in milk fat, using reductive ozonolysis. We contend that the increase in the trans-7, cis-9 CLA found in milk, compared to that in the duodenal lipid, is evidence for the postabsorptive use of trans-718:1 as a precursor for tissue synthesis of the trans-7, cis-918:2.
