Therapeutic modalities that downregulate macrophage and endothelial production of eicosanoid mediators by displacing membrane arachidonic acid (20:4 omega 6) may benefit patients at increased risk of septic complications. The objective of this study. In rats was to assess the incorporation of fish or olive oil fatty acids into hepatic Kupffer and endothelial (K&E) cell phospholipids after 4 d of continuous enteral feeding during endotoxemia. Either endotoxin (ETX) (0.5-1 mg-1.kg-1. day-1) or vehicle was infused intravenously during the last 72 h. Dietary fish and olive oil fatty acids were rapidly incorporated into both K&E and plasma phospholipids irrespective of ETX cotreatment. Rats infused with the fish oil-enriched diet had a significantly lower relative percent of both K&E linoleic acid (18:2 omega 6) and 20:4 omega 6, whereas rats infused with the olive oil-enriched diet only had a lower relative percent of 18:2 omega 6 compared with control rats receiving corn oil. Provision of specific dietary lipids by continuous enteral infusion may prove efficacious for the rapid modulation of hepatic sinusoidal cell membrane fatty acids under either normal or endotoxemic conditions.
