Long-chain n-3 fatty acids and inflammation: potential application in surgical and trauma patients

Long-chain n-3 fatty acids and inflammation: potential application in surgical and trauma patients.

Lipids used in nutritional support of surgical or critically ill patients have been based on soybean oil, which is rich in the n-6 fatty acid linoleic acid (18:2n-6). Linoleic acid is the precursor of arachidonic acid (20:4n-6). In turn, arachidonic acid in cell membrane phospholipids is the substrate for the synthesis of a range of biologically active compounds (eicosanoids) including prostagl...

comparison of long chain and medium chain polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids for their ability to correct insulin resistance induced by saturated fatty acids in cultured bovine adipocytes

background: the modern dairy cows, due to intensive selection for higher milk production during past decades, have become more resistant to insulin. accompanied with dmi depression in per parturient dairy cow, insulin resistance may lead to a massive release of non-esterified fatty acids (nefa) to bloodstream which might act as a start point for development of other diseases. objectives: the pu...

Effects of enriched Artemia with n–3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids on growth performance, stress resistance and fatty acid profile of Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae

A 15-day study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Artemia metanauplii enriched with two commercial supplements (Easy DHA-Selco and S. presso) which contained high levels of n–3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n–3 LC-PUFA) on growth performance, stress resistance and fatty acid profile of Litopenaeus vannamei post larvae (PL). In this regard, PL were fed with three different types ...

N-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, Body Fat and Inflammation

BACKGROUND Based on animal studies, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been suggested to lower the risk of obesity and inflammation. We aimed to investigate if, among humans, intake of n-3 PUFAs was associated with i) total body fat, ii) body fat distribution and iii) obesity-related inflammatory markers. METHODS The study population consisted of 1,212 healthy individuals with infor...
