43 g/d, although it was taken up by the mammary glands and incorporated into milk fat. Therefore, our results offer no support for the concept that changes in rumen production of trans-10 18:1 within the physiological range play a role in the regulation of fatty acid synthesis during diet-induced MFD.
| Introduction |

|
|
|---|
The first rumen biohydrogenation intermediate shown to inhibit milk fat synthesis was trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA; 6), but additional, as yet unidentified, inhibitory intermediates must exist (3,7). The trans-18:1 fatty acid that closely parallels MFD is trans-10 18:1 (3,8) and a summary of data from 35 publications involving 109 treatments demonstrated a curvilinear relation between an increase in milk fat content of trans-10 18:1 and a reduction in milk fat percent (R2 = 0.54; 9). Although some have concluded that trans-10 18:1 must cause MFD, correlated changes do not establish a cause-effect relation and the lack of trans-10 18:1 availability has precluded a direct examination of its effect on milk fat synthesis.
Our objective was to directly examine the effect of trans-10 18:1 on mammary synthesis of milk fat in dairy cows. Pure trans-10 18:1 was provided by abomasal infusion as a convenient experimental method to by-pass possible alterations within the rumen. We observed that trans-10 18:1 was taken up by the mammary gland and transferred to milk fat, but it had no effect on milk fat synthesis even when provided at a dose 10 times greater than the effective dose of trans-10, cis-12 CLA.

Fatty acid supplements. We synthesized the trans-10 18:1 free fatty acid supplement (95% trans-10 18:1) and purified it according to previously described procedures (1114). The supplement was a clear yellow solid melting at 5253°C. The trans-10, cis-12 CLA methyl ester supplement (96% trans-10, cis-12 CLA) was provided by BASF AG. The fatty acid composition (Table 1) of both supplements was determined using GC conditions described previously (15). Additional analyses were carried out to confirm that trans-10 18:1 was the principle fatty acid present in the trans-10 18:1 supplement. The supplement was derivatized with trimethylsulfonium hydroxide (Macherey-Nagel) and analyzed by GC using a CP Select CB-FAME column (0.25-mm i.d., 0.25-µm film thickness, 50 m long, Varian). The oven was kept at 185°C for 40 min then ramped to 250°C at 15°C/min and finally held at 250°C for 10 min. Helium was used as carrier gas with a flow of 1.2 mL/min; injection volume was 1 µL. The temperatures of injector and flame ionization detector were both 250°C. The analysis revealed a purity level of 97% trans/3% cis composition in 10-octadecenoic acid. To confirm the geometry of the ethylenic double bond, infrared spectroscopy was performed using a FTIR 460 Plus spectrometer (JASCO) and 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded from a Bruker Advance apparatus at 500 MHz. Finally, the supplement was analyzed by NMR in CDCl3 (99%, Sigma-Aldrich).

40 to 60 g/d of trans-10 18:1. Therefore, based on the relation between daily duodenal flow of trans-10 18:1 and milk fat content and the available data from abomasal infusion studies with PHVO, we concluded that a dose of
40 g/d would provide a sound test of any cause-effect within the range of trans-10 18:1 typically present in lactating dairy cows.
Trans-10, cis-12 CLA has been shown consistently to reduce milk fat yield in dairy cows. The dose chosen (
4 g/d) for this study was based on the dose-response relation previously generated from published studies (28) and was estimated to cause
30% reduction in milk fat yield. This dose also represented only 10% of the dose chosen for trans-10 18:1.
Performance responses to fatty acid infusions. The infusates provided 42.6 and 4.3 g/d of trans-10 18:1 and trans-10, cis-12 CLA in their respective treatments. The t10 and CLA treatments had no affect on feed intake (data not shown; mean = 20.2 kg/d) or milk yield (Table 3; mean = 29.1 kg/d). Likewise, milk protein and lactose yield and somatic cell count did not differ among treatments (data not shown).

0.5 g/100 g fatty acids). During the t10 treatment period, the trans-10 18:1 content of milk fat increased steadily to 1.11 g/100 g of total fatty acids on d 4 of infusions. After correcting for endogenous levels in milk fat, the transfer efficiency of the abomasally infused trans-10 18:1 into milk fat was 15 ± 1% (mean ± SD). Milk fat content of trans-10, cis-12 CLA was undetectable (<0.01 g/100 g fatty acids) during the control and t10 treatment periods. However, during the CLA treatment period, the milk fat content of trans-10, cis-12 CLA increased to 0.13 g/100 g of total fatty acids on d 4 and this represented a transfer efficiency of 23 ± 5% (means ± SD).

| Discussion |

|

Rumen production of many biohydrogenation intermediates is increased when diets causing MFD are consumed by dairy cows and some of these are likely to be inhibitory for milk fat synthesis (3,7). One of particular interest is trans-10 18:1, which is an intermediate in the biohydrogenation pathway that produces trans-10, cis-12 CLA. Rumen outflow of trans-10 18:1 increases substantially during MFD (Fig. 1) and other investigations have demonstrated a curvilinear relation between the trans-10 18:1 increase in milk fat and the reduction in milk fat percent (8,9). However, correlated changes do not establish a causal relation and the increase in the rumen outflow of trans-10 18:1 and its subsequent incorporation into milk fat could simply be a marker for altered rumen biohydrogenation pathways rather than having an inhibitory effect per se. In this study, abomasal infusion of 43 g/d of trans-10 18:1 had no effect on the content or yield of milk fat. This contrasts with trans-10, cis-12 CLA where abomasal infusion of one-tenth this dose resulted in a milk fat reduction of
25%.
In the current experiment, the 4-d infusion period was sufficient to give a plateau in the incorporation of trans-10 18:1 in milk fat, and by d 4, the milk fat content was 1.4-fold greater than control. This increase is comparable to the 1.3-fold increase in the trans-10 18:1 content of plasma lipid. The transfer efficiency of the abomasally infused trans-10 18:1 into milk fat was 15%, which is similar to the 17 ± 3% (mean ± SD) transfer efficiency recently reported for trans-10, trans-12 CLA (15). However, this transfer is lower than that observed for trans-10, cis-12 CLA in this study (23%) and the mean of 22% for 6 studies in which trans-10, cis-12 CLA was abomasally infused (28). Because there is no published literature examining the effects of trans-10 18:1, we are unable to ascertain whether the low transfer efficiency for trans-10 18:1 is a consequence of a low absorption from the small intestine or the fact that trans-10 18:1 is more extensively oxidized and used for processes other than milk fat synthesis. However, the available data indicate that the small intestine digestibility of trans-10 18:1 is not markedly different from the digestibility of other 18-carbon fatty acids (22,24).
Based on the changes in the trans-10 18:1 content of milk fat observed in this study and using the equation generated from the available data (35 publications involving 109 treatments; 9), the observed 0.64 g/100 g fatty acids increase in the trans-10 18:1 content of milk fat would predict a corresponding reduction in milk fat percentage of 0.32 units. However, our results show that despite the fact that trans-10 18:1 was absorbed, taken up by the mammary gland, and transferred to milk fat, it had no effect on milk fat synthesis. Whereas this study is the first, to our knowledge, to directly examine the effect of trans-10 18:1 on milk fat synthesis in ruminants, indirect support for our results comes from studies in which oleic acid supplements were fed to dairy cows (9,30,31). The rumen biohydrogenation of oleic acid (cis-9 18:1) results in the formation of a wide range of trans-18:1 fatty acids, including trans-10 18:1 (32), with the result that feeding oleic acid can increase the rumen outflow and incorporation of trans-18:1 fatty acids into milk fat. Feeding dairy cows high levels of oleic acid (31) or canola oil (78% oleic acid; 30) resulted in an
1.5-fold increase in the trans-18:1 content of milk fat, but milk fat yield was unaltered; however, these studies did not determine the trans-18:1 isomer profile. A similar study using improved analytical techniques showed that a 3-fold increase in the milk fat content of trans-10 18:1 correlated with MFD when cows received a high linoleic acid supplement, but a similar magnitude of increase in trans-10 18:1 induced by supplementing oleic acid occurred with no MFD (9). Other trans-18:1 fatty acids that have been directly examined include trans-9, trans-11, and trans-12 18:1 and none affected milk fat yields at the doses tested (12.525 g/d; 33, 34). To our knowledge, there is only one other study that examined the effects of a relatively pure source of trans-10 18:1 on lipid metabolism; Park et al. (35) found that feeding trans-10 18:1 at 0.27% of the diet to mice had no effect on body fat.
As mentioned previously, dietary supplements or abomasal infusions of PHVO have been shown to cause a reduction in milk fat (25,26) and these are often cited as evidence that trans 18:1 fatty acids, particularly trans-10 18:1, is an inhibitor of milk fat synthesis. Furthermore, PHVO have also been implicated in reduced milk fat in other species, including humans (36), mice (37), and pigs (38). However, data from this study do not support the hypothesis that the trans-10 18:1 present in these PHVO supplements was responsible for the observed reduction in milk fat. A probable explanation for these disparate results relates to the diverse range of fatty acids that can be produced during the production of PHVO. In addition to trans-10, cis-12 CLA, recent work has identified cis-10, trans-12 CLA and trans-9, cis-11 CLA as additional biohydrogenation intermediates that are potent inhibitors of milk fat synthesis in dairy cows (39,40) and other investigators have established that conjugated diene 18:3, 20:5, and 22:6 fatty acid supplements reduce body fat accumulation in rodents (4143). The chemical hydrogenation process used in the production of PHVO is typically optimized to produce trans 18:1 fatty acids, with trans-9, trans-10, and trans-11 the most prevalent (27). However, detailed analysis of PHVO has revealed that a range of trans and conjugated PUFA can also be produced during this process (4446) and 1 or more of these fatty acids could play a role in the reduction in milk fat observed with PHVO.
In conclusion, whereas trans-10 18:1 was taken up by the mammary gland and transferred to milk fat, it had no effect on milk fat synthesis even when provided at a dose 10 times greater that the effective dose of trans-10, cis-12 CLA. Therefore, this study offers no support for trans-10 18:1 as a cause of diet-induced MFD and highlights the problem of implying cause-effect relations based on correlations between specific milk fatty acids and MFD.
