Inter-elemental correlations in liver and lung tissue of rats with alimentary adiposity (SRXRF)

摘要

The distribution of adiposity steadily grows all over the world. The reasons of the adiposity increase, especially in the developed countries, are not well understood. In particular, the role of lungs in the development of adiposity is not clear. There are many enzymes in the lungs (as well as in the liver), providing the metabolic processes on a high level. Additionally, lung is the first organ which lipids are delivered to with blood after the food intake. The data on the inter-elemental correlations in the lungs (concerning the alimentary adiposity) are not found in the literature. Thus, the investigation of trace element status of lungs and liver after the fatty food intake is expedient. The experiments were carried out on the adult nonlinear Wistar rats. Two series of the experiments were conducted with control (normal weigh) and animals with adiposity. Each of these series was subdivided into two groups: animals not having food (before the sacrifice) and receiving lard. The results obtained show that the metabolic changes under the alimentary adiposity of experimental rats are accompanied by the redistribution of inter-elemental correlations in the liver and in the lungs either. The greatest number of strong correlations is observed in case of starving animals of control group.
