The effects of oxidized fat components (free fatty acids from the distillable nonurea adductable fraction) isolated from heated corn oil or heated olive oil on the morphology and growth of heart cells in primary culture were investigated. The free fatty acid fractions isolated from the fresh fats served as controls. Different concentrations of the fat fractions (20, 60, and 100 micrograms/ml) were added to the medium in the form of an emulsion with bovine serum albumin (Fraction V, poor in unesterified fatty acids). In the cell cultures treated with heated fats, intracellular lipid accumulation, increased cytoplasmic vacuolization, mitotic aberrations, pyknotic cells, and decreased mitosis were observed and were more pronounced in the case of the heated olive oil. These cytotoxic effects increased with higher concentrations of heated fats in the medium. The fresh fats also produced intracellular lipid accumulation, reductions in mitosis, and changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, at the higher levels. These effects were greater in fresh olive oil-treated cultures. These observations indicate that oxidized fat components interfere physically or biochemically with normal cell functions resulting in pathological changes.
