Deep-fried foods are very popular, but the safety of oxidized frying oil(OFO), which is ingested with fried food, is always a concern. This review summarizes the chemical reactions and changes in levels of nutrients and toxicants in the oil during deep-fat frying, the interference with nutrient metabolism after ingestion of an OFO-containing diet, and the impacts on offspring of mothers who received an OFO diet. When rodents fed diets with equal amounts of OFO or fresh oil were compared, lower plasma and liver lipid concentration and less adiposity were consistently observed in the OFO-fed group. This can be attributed to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR), which is activated by the oxidized fatty acids in the OFO, thus increasing lipid catabolism. However, glucose intolerance and insulin deficiency were observed in rodents fed the OFO diet. This was demonstrated to be caused by oxidative stress-associated -cell dysfunction. OFO-induced cytochrome P450-detoxifying enzymes are believed to be involved in the increased catabolism of vitamins E and A. Recently, we studied whether maternal ingestion of OFO during pregnancy influenced the susceptibility to diet-induced obesity in the adult offspring. The resistance to diet-induced obesity was seen in male offspring, which was ascribed to the increased lipid catabolism and heat thermogenesis. In addition, polar compounds(PCs)isolated from the OFO were found to be teratogenic. This phenomenon might be associated with a disturbance of retinoic acid(RA)metabolism via modulation of xenobiotic receptor activity by OFO or PCs. The detrimental effects related to OFO or PC ingestion, including disturbance of RA metabolism, teratogenesis, and retardation of fetal growth, could not be overcome by antioxidant supplementation. |
