    Notes: Summary The liver is the junction of several interorgan metabolic cycles which are essential for the homeostasis of mammalian metabolism. Two of these are described in greater detail and their role in control of lipid metabolism will be presented. The fatty acid-triglyceride cycle is of particular importance for our understanding of the mechanisms governing serum lipid levels. This is due to the fact that the lipoprotein secreted by the liver in the course of this metabolic cycle — very low density lipoprotein — has a relatively long half-life in the plasma compartment. Data have been collected from the literature to show that different nutritional and pharmacological stimuli affecting serum lipid levels do so by interfering with the rate of very low density lipoprotein input into the plasma compartment. The enterohepatic circulation of steroids is another cycle which contributes to control of lipid metabolism. Data are presented which show that bile acids, the major steroids circulating in this cycle, exert direct feedback control of hepatic cholesterol synthesis. This characteristic of bile acids may explain why certain bile acids, when given orally, reduce serum cholesterol levels. Several clinical and experimental observations suggest a close relation between bile acid and triglyceride metabolism. It is characterized by an inverse relation between bile acid pool size and serum triglyceride levels. Moreover, a reduction of the bile acid pool size is accompanied by an enhanced hepatic fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis and secretion into blood. The molecular basis and physiological significance of these observations have still to be explored. Special emphasis is put on the advantage of monolayer cultures of liver cells which had to be used in order to reach much of the experimental evidence outlined herein. This cellular model endowed with the physiology and phenotype of the normal adult liver cell is particularly suited to the study of long-term regulation of metabolism.

    Notes: Summary Different dietary proteins determine different serum cholesterol levels if fed in a semisynthetic diet to some, but not all, animal species. In one species, the rabbit, this metabolic response is elicited without adding high sucrose or cholesterol supplements that have to be added to rat or pig diets in order to cause a similar response. Eleven out of 13 studies show that casein and soy protein do not induce different serum cholesterol levels in normal man. More important, protein-induced differences of serum cholesterol concentrations have not been reported when appropriate nutritional methodology has been applied. We conclude that no protein-induced hypercholesterolemia is observed in primates, particularly not in the human species. Dietary recommendations urging the general public to reduce consumption of animal protein because of a higher atherogenicity are not supported by the present data. The biochemical basis of the metabolic responses has been studied by many investigators, but no convincing unifying concept has yet been identified. The recent observation of higher serum thyroxine concentrations following soy protein consumption (and vegetable protein in general) when compared to casein shed new light on this problem. This endocrine response explains a wide array of metabolic features of soy-fed rodents: the lower hepatic VLDL secretion, the higher hepatic HMG-CoA reductase activity, the higher hepatic apo B, E receptor activity, the higher fecal bile acid excretion, and finally the lower serum cholesterol concentrations.

    Notes: Abstract The Galileo ultraviolet spectrometer experiment uses data obtained by the Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) mounted on the pointed orbiter scan platform and from the Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometer (EUVS) mounted on the spinning part of the orbiter with the field of view perpendicular to the spin axis. The UVS is a Ebert-Fastie design that covers the range 113–432 nm with a wavelength resolution of 0.7 nm below 190 and 1.3 nm at longer wavelengths. The UVS spatial resolution is 0.4 deg × 0.1 deg for illuminated disc observations and 1 deg × 0.1 deg for limb geometries. The EUVS is a Voyager design objective grating spectrometer, modified to cover the wavelength range from 54 to 128 nm with wavelength resolution 3.5 nm for extended sources and 1.5 nm for point sources and spatial resolution of 0.87 deg × 0.17 deg. The EUVS instrument will follow up on the many Voyager UVS discoveries, particularly the sulfur and oxygen ion emissions in the Io torus and molecular and atomic hydrogen auroral and airglow emissions from Jupiter. The UVS will obtain spectra of emission, absorption, and scattering features in the unexplored, by spacecraft, 170–432 nm wavelength region. The UVS and EUVS instruments will provide a powerful instrument complement to investigate volatile escape and surface composition of the Galilean satellites, the Io plasma torus, micro- and macro-properties of the Jupiter clouds, and the composition structure and evolution of the Jupiter upper atmosphere.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurde bei Miniaturschweinen der Effekt von Guar Gum auf die Serumlipide bei gleichzeitiger Gabe von entweder 50,3% Stärke oder 50,3% Saccharose untersucht. Dazu durchliefen 5 adulte hypercholesterolämische Miniaturschweine (Gesamtserumcholesterol 9,0 mmol/l) jeweils nach einer Cross-over-Anordnung 3 Versuchsreihen von Fütterungsexperimenten mit jeweils 8 Wochen Dauer. (Experiment I = Maisstärke plus 15 g Guar; Experiment II = Maisstärke plus 30 g Guar; Experiment III = Saccharose plus 30 g Guar pro Tag.) In Gegenwart von Maisstärke in der Diät hatten weder 15 g noch 30 g Guar Gum einen Einfluß auf die Serum-Cholesterin- oder -Triglyceridspiegel. Die Cholesterinkonzentration in den Lipoproteinfraktionen war während der Experimente I und II ebenfalls nicht signifikant beeinflußt. War hingegen Saccharose in der Diät enthalten, so senkte Guar den Serum-Cholesterinspiegel um ca. 20% (p 〈 0,01) (Experiment III). Bei dieser Diät konnte die Zulage von 30 g Guar pro Tag ebenfalls die Cholesterinkonzentration in den VLDL- und HDL-Fraktionen signifikant (p 〈 0,05) herabsetzen. In Experiment III konnte auch eine tendenzielle Reduktion des Cholesterins in der LDL-Fraktion gemessen werden. Die Untersuchung zeigt, daß Guar Gum einen hypocholesterolämischen Effekt in Gegenwart von Saccharose in der Diät entfaltet, nicht aber bei Stärke als Kohlenhydrat in der Diät.
    Notes: Summary We examined the effect of guar gum on serum lipids if fed together with either 50.3% starch or 50.3% sucrose in a balanced diet to pigs. For this purpose, five adult hypercholesterolemic minipigs (total serum cholesterol 9.0 mmol/l) underwent three consecutive 8-week crossover (control or guar supplementation) feeding experiments (experiment I = cornstarch plus 15 g guar, experiment II = cornstarch plus 30 g guar, experiment III = sucrose plus 30 g guar per day). With the cornstarch-based diet neither 15 g nor 30 g guar gum had an influence on serum total cholesterol or triglyceride levels. Also, the cholesterol concentrations in the lipoprotein fractions did not change significantly during experiments I and II, yet total serum cholesterol concentration was about 20% lower (p 〈 0.01) when guar gum was added to the sucrose diet in experiment III. In the presence of sucrose the supplementation of 30 g guar led to a significant decrease (p 〈 0.05) of the cholesterol concentrations in the very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). There was also a tendency for decreased cholesterol levels in the low-density lipoproteins (LDL) after adding 30 g guar to the sucrose diet. Thus, the study demonstrates that guar gum exerts a hypocholesterolemic effect in the presence of sucrose in the diet, but not in the case of starch consumption.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Wir haben die Wirkung einer Glukose-Galaktose-Zufuhr, wie sie bei Aufnahme von Lebensmitteln mit hydrolysierter Laktose auftreten kann, untersucht. Dazu erhielten 5 gesunde erwachsene Versuchspersonen morgens nüchtern je 32,3 g Glukose plus 32,3 g Galaktose (entsprechend 125 g eines Magermilchpulvers mit hydrolysierter Laktose). Die postprandialen erythrozytären Galaktose-1-Phosphat-(Gal-1-P-)Spiegel stiegen bei keinem der Probanden höher als 22,3 Μmol/l gepackter Erythrozyten an. Damit erreichten die Konzentrationen dieses Indikatormetaboliten lediglich 22 % der Spiegel, die sich bei galaktosämischen Kindern als sicher herausgestellt haben, was die Entstehung von Leberoder Hirnschäden bzw. Katarakten angeht. Wir schließen daraus, daß das Kriterium der erythrozytären Gal-1-P-Spiegel kein Stoffwechselrisiko beim Konsum von hydrolysierter Laktose erkennen läßt. Hingegen ist die Aufnahme von Galaktose allein ohne Glukose von 17fach höheren Plasma-Galaktosespiegeln und einer ca. 8fach höheren erythrozytären Gal-1-P-Konzentration begleitet. Die Zufuhr von Galaktose allein dürfte daher ein erheblich höheres Stoffwechselrisiko verursachen.
    Notes: Summary This study deals with the metabolic effects of hydrolyzed lactose: After an overnight fast 5 healthy adult volunteers consumed a glucose-galactose mixture equivalent to 61.4g of lactose (or 125g of a dried skim milk powder with hydrolyzed lactose). The postprandial rise of erythrocyte galactose-1-phosphate (gal-1-P) never exceeded 22.3 Μmol per liter packed red blood cells. This amounts to no more than 22 % of the levels known from galactosemic children to be safe, concerning ocular, neural or hepatic damage. We conclude that the consumption of the hydrolyzed lactose does not cause a risk for consumer's health as judged from this galactose metabolite. A considerably higher risk, however, may accompany the consumption of galactose alone which causes around 17-fold higher plasma galactose levels and around 8-fold higher erythrocyte gal-1-P concentrations for more extended time periods.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In der vorliegenden Untersuchung sollte die Eignung des ovariektomierten Schweins als Modell für die postmenopausale Osteoporose beschrieben werden. Hierzu wurde der Einfluß der Ovariektomie (OVX) auf Plasmaparameter des Knochenstoffwechsels und auf knochenhistologische Parameter bei zwei Gruppen von Sauen (9 Monate alt, Nullipara oder 35 Monate alt, Multipara) untersucht. Eine Standarddiät für Schweine mit einem Calciumgehalt von 1,5 % wurde verabreicht. Gesamt-und knochenspezifische alkalische Phosphatase (APt, APb) Calcidiol, Calcitriol und Parathormon (PTH) wurden im Plasma 4, 8, 12 und 18 Monate nach OVX bestimmt. Der Mineralgehalt sowie histologische Parameter wurden in repräsentativen Knochenproben 12 Monate nach OVX und am Ende des Versuchs 18 Monate nach OVX gemessen. Bei jungen Sauen führte die Ovariektomie zu keinen signifikanten Veränderungen der Plasmaparameter mit Ausnahme höherer Konzentrationen des Calcitriols 4 Monate nach OVX. Es wurden weder 12 noch 20 Monate nach OVX signifikante Unterschiede zwischen OVX- und Kontrolltieren in den Parametern der chemischen oder histologischen Knochenanalyse beobachtet. Bei multiparen Sauen waren die Plasmakonzentrationen des PTH gegenüber den Kontrolltieren 8 Monate nach OVX signifikant erhöht. Die Konzentrationen des Calcitriols sowie die Aktivität der APt und APb lagen 12 Monate nach OVX signifikant über den Werten der intakten Tiere. Alle Effekte waren moderat. Weder 12 Monate noch 20 Monate nach OVX kam es zu signifikanten Veränderungen in den Parametern der chemischen oder histologischen Knochenanalyse. Obwohl die beobachteten Veränderungen in den klinisch-chemischen Plasmaparametern zweifellos keine histomorphometrischen Anzeichen einer Osteopenie/Osteoporose zur Folge hatten, bleibt es zukünftigen Untersuchungen überlassen nachzuprüfen, ob das Ausbleiben des Osteopenie ein Ergebnis der in diesem Experiment hohen Calciumzufuhr war. Eine solche Möglichkeit sollte aufgrund der Beobachtung in Betracht gezogen werden, daß Osteopenie beim Schwein nach OVX eintritt, wenn eine Diät mit geringerer Calciumzufuhr (0,75 % im Vergleich zu 0,9 %) verabreicht wurde (33).
    Notes: Summary To investigate the suitability of the pig as animal model for postmenopausal osteoprosis, effects of ovariectomy (OVX) on bone metabolism and histology were studied in two groups of sows (9 months, nulliparous or 35 months, multiparous). A standard diet of about 1.5 % calcium (Ca) was fed till sacrifice at either 12 or 20 months post OVX when mineral content and histology were studied in representative bone specimens of proximal tibia, iliac crest and lumbar vertebrae. At 4, 8, 12, and 18 months post OVX, total and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (APt, APb) calcidiol, calcitriol and parathyroid hormone (PTH) were measured in plasma. In young sows OVX did not significantly affect plasma variables except for calcitriol, which was higher at 4 months post OVX. No significant differences between OVX or control animals were observed in the variables of bone chemical and histological analyses, neither 12 nor 20 months post OVX. In multiparous sows OVX significantly increased PTH plasma concentrations at 8 months post OVX and plasma calcitriol, APt and APb at 12 months post OVX. All effects were moderate and transient. OVX did not significantly affect the variables of bone chemical and histological analyses neither 12 nor 20 months post OVX. Although undoubtedly the clinical-chemical changes observed were not accompanied by any histomorphometric signs of osteopenia/osteoporosis, it must be left to future experiments as to whether this resulted from the ample calcium supply provided. This possibility is supported by recent observations showing that porcine osteopenia could be induced by OVX in animals maintained on only 0.75 % dietary calcium but not on higher (0.9 %) Ca regimens (33).
