Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which zinc depletion leads to lipoprotein modifications by measuring both lipoprotein-fraction distribution and peroxidation in zinc-depleted rats.

The animals were divided into three groups and fed for 8 wk a zinc-adequate diet (100 ppm) ad libitum (AL), a zinc-deficient diet (0.2 ppm) ad libitum (ZD), or a zinc-adequate diet according to the pair feeding method (PF).

Trace-element status, tissular lipids, and lipoprotein-fraction study were performed. The MDA production by the lipoprotein fraction was measured before and after induced peroxidation.

Cholesterol and phospholipids were increased in ZD rats. An important increase of VLDL and IDL was observed and a significant enhanced production of MDA by the LDL was related to zinc deficiency. From this observation, we may conclude that LDL fractions of ZD rats are more susceptible to induced oxidative damage.

These results suggest that in zinc deficiency, the lipoprotein fragility is an aggravating factor of peroxidation and the dyslipoproteinemia may lead to an atherogenic risk.
