Epidemiological and laboratory animal model studies have provided evidence that the effect of dietary fat on colon tumorigenesis depends on the amount of fat and its composition. Because of the importance of the composition of dietary fat and of tissue membrane fatty acid composition in tumor promotion, experiments were designed to investigate the relative effects of high fat diets rich in omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids and colon carcinogen on the phospholipid fatty acid composition of liver, colon, small intestine, erythrocytes and blood plasma. At 6 wk of age, groups of animals were fed diets containing 5% corn oil (LFCO), 23.5% corn oil (HFCO), 23.5% olive oil (HFOO), and 20.5% fish oil plus 3% corn oil (HFFO). Two weeks later all the animals except the vehicle-treated animals received azoxymethane s.c. once weekly for 2 wk at a dose rate of 15 mg/kg body weight. Animals were sacrificed 5 d later and liver, colon, small intestine and erythrocytes and blood plasma were analyzed for phospholipid fatty acids. The results indicate that the phospholipid fatty acid composition of liver, colon and small intestine of HFCO diet fed animals, were not significantly different from those fed the LFCO diet. The levels of palmitoleic acid and linoleic acid were increased in erythrocytes and blood plasma of the animals fed the HFCO diet compared to those fed the LFCO diet. Feeding the HFOO diet significantly increased the oleic acid content and decreased the linoleic acid and arachidonic acid levels in various organs when compared to the HFCO diet.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
