摘要：The present study was performed to clarify the effects of dietary oils on phys-iological and metabolic changes induced by a stress, using one-time or repetitive water-im-mersion of restrained rats (single or repetitive stress) as an experimental stress load. In rats fed any test diets containing 20% of the mixture of tripalmitin, tristearin, and corn oil (PSC), olive oil (OLI), safflower oil (SAF), and linseed oil (US) with repetitive stress loading, body weight gains and food intakes were generally reduced. The weights of the thymus and spleen also declined, but the adrenal weights were enhanced. Particularly, the increase in the adrenal weight of rats given the OLI diet was greater than of rats supplied with other diets. When the rats were loaded with the single or repetitive stress, the concentrations of urea, lipid peroxide, and corticosterone in the plasma were increased in rats fed any of di-etary oils. The rise of plasma corticosterone level was especially great in rats fed the OLI diet. The concentrations of total cholesterol (T-CHOL) and triglyceride (TG) in the plasma and liver generally tended to be higher in rats fed the OLI diet than in rats given the other diets with and without stress exposure. Plasma corticosterone concentration was correlated to the adrenal weight ( r =0.87, p <0.05). This study showed that OLI especially enhanced the adrenal weight in rats exposed to the repetitive stress and further raised the increased secre-tion of adrenal corticosterone in rats loaded with the single or repetitive stress compared with the other oils. The mechanism explaining these actions of OLI was inferred to be re-lated to the levels of T-CHOL and TG in the plasma and liver generally enhanced by stress.
