The effect of supplementation with borage oil containing γ-linolenic acid (GLA, 18∶3n−6) on the levels and fattya cid compositions
of individual human platelet phospholipids was evaluated. For this purpose, male volunteers were given an average daily intake
of 5.23 g of GLA (as borage oil) for 42 days, after which the supplement was withdrawn for an additional 42-day period. No
significant differences were found in the relative amounts of the choline phospholipids (PC), ethanolamine phospholipids (PE),
phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PI), and sphingomyelin (SPH) at days 0, 22, 43, 64, and 85. However, marked
differences were observed in the fatty acid compositions of all the phospholipids including a marked, and reversible, rise
in the level of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA, 20∶3n−6), without a significant elevation in arachidonic acid (AA, 20∶4n−6)
and decreases in n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. In the case of PC, a net rise in DGLA of 1.8 mol% was observed by day 22
(from 2.1 to 3.9 mol%). The DGLA/AA ratios at day 43 exhibited considerable variability across phospholipids with PC>PS>PE=PI;
the PC, PE, PS, and PI accounted for 67.6, 16.7, 12.9, and 2.6%, respectively, of the total DGLA in platelet phospholipids.
Interestingly, despite the lack of DGLA in SPH, this phospholipid exhibited a marked enrichment in nervonic acid (NA, 24∶1n−9)
from 16.2 to 24.7 mol% upon borage oil consumption. The observed alterations may represent biochemical strategies for adaptation
to dietary fatty acid modifications and the regulation of platelet membrane functioning. 相似文献

A long-term seal- and cod-liver-oil supplementation in hypercholesterolemic subjects 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this long-term study, we wanted to explore the effect of dietary supplementation of seal oil (SO) as compared cod-liver
oil (CLO) on subjects with moderate hypercholesterolemia. The test parameters included fatty acid composition in serum, blood
lipids, platelet aggregation, and the activity of blood monocytes. After a run-in period of 6 mon, 120 clinically healthy
hypercholesterolemic (7.0–9.5 mmol/L; 270–366 mg/dL) subjects were randomly selected to consume either 15 mL of SO or CLO
daily for 14 mon followed by a 4-mon wash-out period. A third group was not given any dietary supplement (control). Consumption
of marine oils (SO and CLO) changed the fatty acid composition of serum significantly. Maximal levels were achieved after
10 mon. No further changes were seen after 14 mon. A wash-out period of 4 mon hardly altered the level of n−3 fatty acids
in serum. Addition of SO gave 30% higher level of eicosapentaenoic acid, as compared to CLO. Subjects taking SO or CLO had
lower whole-blood platelet aggregation than the control group. Neither SO nor CLO had any effects on the levels of serum total
cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, postprandial triacylglycerol, apolipoproteins A1 and B100, lipoprotein
(a), monocyte function expressed as monocyte-derived tissue factor expression, and tumor necrosis factor. 相似文献

Nine healthy male volunteers were given 15 Max EPA fish oil capsules providing 2.67 g of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20∶5ω3)
and 1.72 g of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22∶6ω3) daily for 3 wk. Measurements were taken at baseline, at the end of the fish-oil
period, and at 2 and 6 wk postsupplementation. The effect of fish oil on plasma lipids and the fatty acid composition of individual
platelet phospholipids was studied. In general, the proportions of 20∶5ω3 and 22∶6ω3 in platelet phosphoglycerides were substantially
increased mainly at the expense of arachidonic acid (AA, 20∶4ω6). A large and significant increase in the relative EPA content
of phosphatidylcholine (PC) (P<0.001) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) (P<0.001) was noted at the end of the 3 wk supplementation.
We have also shown for the first time a small but significant (P<0.001) incorporation of EPA in phosphatidylserine (PS). Incorporation
of DHA was also detected in PC, PE and PS, whereas the relative AA content of these phospholipids was significantly reduced.
Fish oil supplementation led to a significant increase of 22∶5ω3 in PS and decreases of 20∶3ω6 in PC and 22∶4ω6 in PE. Postsupplementation
measurements showed a gradual return of all fatty acids to baseline levels. The fatty acid composition of the phosphatidylinositol
(PI) fraction remained unchanged throughout the trial period. We conclude that in humans ω3 fatty acids are incorporated into
platelet membrane phospholipid subclasses with a high degree of specificity. 相似文献

Effect of low-to-moderate amounts of dietary fish oil on neutrophil lipid composition and function 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Although essential to host defense, neutrophils are also involved in numerous inflammatory disorders including rheumatoid
arthritis. Dietary supplementation with relatively large amounts of fish oil [containing >2.6 g eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
plus 1.4 g docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) per day] can attenuate neutrophil functions such as chemotaxis and superoxide radical
production. In this study, the effects of more moderate supplementation with fish oil on neutrophil lipid composition and
function were investigated. The rationale for using lower supplementary doses of fish oil was to avoid adverse gastrointestinal
problems, which have been observed at high supplementary concentrations of fish oil. Healthy male volunteers aged <40 yr were
randomly assigned to consume one of six dietary supplements daily for 12 wk (n=8 per treatment group). The dietary supplements included four different concentrations of fish oil (the most concentrated
fish oil provided 0.58 g EPA plus 1.67 g DHA per day), linseed oil, and a placebo oil. The percentages of EPA and DHA increased
(both P<0.05) in neutrophil phospholipids in a dose-dependent manner after 4 wk of supplementation with the three most concentrated
fish oil supplements. No further increases in EPA or DHA levels were observed after 4 wk. The percentage of arachidonic acid
in neutrophil phospholipids decreased (P<0.05) after 12 wk supplementation with the linseed oil supplement or the two most concentrated fish oil supplements. There
were no significant changes in N-formyl-met-leu-phe-induced chemotaxis and superoxide radical production following the dietary supplementations. In conclusion,
low-to-moderate amounts of dietary fish oil can be used to manipulate neutrophil fatty acid composition. However, this may
not be accompanied by modulation of neutrophil functions such as chemotaxis and superoxide radical production. 相似文献

Fourteen healthy volunteers were randomly allocated to receive 4 g highly purified ethyl esters of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
(95% pure, n=7) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (90% pure, n=7) daily for 5 wk in supplement to their ordinary diet. The n−3 fatty acids were given with a standard high-fat meal at the
beginning and the end of the supplementation period. EPA and DHA induced a similar incorporation into chylomicrons which peaked
6 h after the meal. The relative uptake of EPA and DHA from the meal was >90% compared with the uptake of oleic acid. During
absorption, there was no significant elongation or retroconversion of EPA or DHA in total chylomicron fatty acids. The concentration
of EPA decreased by 13% and DHA by 62% (P<0.001) between 6 and 8 h after the meal. During the 5-wk supplementation period, EPA showed a more rapid and comprehensive
increase in serum phospholipids than did DHA. DHA was retroconverted to EPA, whereas EPA was elongated to docosapentaenoic
acid (DPA). The postprandial triglyceridemia was suppressed by 19 and 49% after prolonged intake of EPA and DHA, respectively,
indicating that prolonged intake of DHA is equivalent to or even more efficient than that of EPA in lowering postprandial
triglyceridemia. This study indicates that there are metabolic differences between EPA and DHA which may have implications
for the use of n−3 fatty acids in preventive and clinical medicine. 相似文献

The interrelations between linoleic acid (LA) metabolites and fish oil fatty acids were studied. Sprague-Dawley rats (200–220
g) were fed a fat-free semisynthetic diet supplemented with 10% (by weight) of different combinations of evening primrose
oil (EPO), a rich source of LA and γ-linolenic acid, and polepa (POL), a marine oil rich in eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic
(DHA) acids. The combinations of supplement were as follows: 9% EPO-1% POL, 8% EPO-2% POL, 7% EPO-3% POL, 6% EPO-4% POL and
5% EPO-5% POL. After two weeks on the respective diets, the animals were killed, and the fatty acid compositions of liver
and plasma phospholipids were examined. The results showed that animals fed higher proportions of POL consistently contained
higher levels of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA) (p<0.05), a metabolite of LA and GLA, and lower levels of arachidonic acid
(AA) (p<0.01), a metabolite of DGLA through Δ-5-desaturation. Thus, an inverse relationship between AA/DGLA ratio and EPA
levels was found to exist (r=−0.765 in plasma and −0.792 in liver). However, there was no such relationship between AA/DGLA
ratio and DHA levels. This result suggested that EPA but not DHA in fish oil exerts an inhibitory effect on the conversion
of DGLA to AA. 相似文献

Differential utilization of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in human plasma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
It has recently been shown that the ω3 fatty acid status in humans can be predicted by the concentration of eicosapentaenoic
(EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids in plasma phospholipids [Bjerve, K.S., Brubakk, A.M., Fougner, K.J., Johnsen, H., Midjthell,
K., and Vik, T. (1993)Am. J. Clin. Nutr., in press]. In countries with low intake of ω3 fatty acids, the level of EPA in plasma phospholipids is often only about
one-fifth the concentration of DHA. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether this difference in the concentration
of these two fatty acids was due to a selective loss of EPA relative to DHA or to a lower dietary intake of EPA. Seven female
volunteers ingested four grams of MaxEPA daily for 2 wk and in the following 4 wk they ate a diet almost completely devoid
of the long-chain ω3 fatty acids. The concentrations of the ω3 fatty acids in the plasma cholesteryl esters, triglycerides
and phospholipids and the high density lipoprotein phospholipids were examined at weekly intervals throughout the study. There
was a more rapid rise in the concentration of EPA than in DHA levels in the supplementation period in all lipid fractions,
but there was a disproportionate rise in DHA relative to EPA in the plasma lipids compared with the ratio in the supplement.
In the depletion phase there was a rapid disappearance of EPA from all fractions, such that pre-trial levels were reached
by one week post-supplementation. The disappearance of DHA was slower, particularly for the plasma phospholipids: at 4 wk
post-supplementation, the DHA concentration in this fraction was still 40% above the pre-trial value. It is suggested that
the low plasma EPA values relative to DHA are the result of increased β-oxidation of EPA and/or low dietary intake, rather
than a rapid conversion of EPA to DHA. One practical result of this experiment is that, compared with DHA, the maintenance
of increased EPA levels in plasma (and therefore tissues) would require constant inputs of EPA due to its more rapid loss
from the plasma. 相似文献

The effects of n-3 fatty acid supplementation in the form of fresh fish, fish oil, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) oil on the
fatty acid composition of plasma lipid fractions, and platelets and erythrocyte membranes of young healthy male students were
examined. Altogether 59 subjects (aged 19–32 yr, body mass index 16.8–31.3 kg/m2) were randomized into the following diet groups: (i) control group; (ii) fish diet group eating fish meals five times per
week [0.38±0.04 g eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 0.67±0.09 g DHA per day]; (iii) DHA oil group taking algae-derived DHA oil
capsules (1.68 g/d DHA oil group taking algae-derived DHA oil capsules (1.68 g/d DHA in triglyceride form); and (iv) fish
oil group (1.33 g EPA and 0.95 g DHA/d as free fatty acids) for 14 wk. The fatty acid composition of plasma lipids, platelets,
and erythrocyte membranes was analyzed by gas chromatography. The subjects kept 4-d food records four times during the study
to estimate the intake of nutrients. In the fish diet, in DHA oil, and in fish oil groups, the amounts of n-3 fatty acids
increased and those of n-6 fatty acids decreased significantly in plasma lipid fractions and in platelets and erythrocyte
membranes. A positive relationship was shown between the total n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and EPA and DHA intake
and the increase in total n-3 PUFA and EPA and DHA in all lipid fractions analyzed. DHA was preferentially incorporated into
phospholipid (PL) and triglyceride (TG) and there was very little uptake in cholesterol ester (CE), while EPA was preferentially
incorporated into PL and CE. The proportion of EPA in plasma lipids and platelets and erythrocyte membranes increased also
by DHA supplementation, and the proportion of linoleic acid increased in platelets and erythrocyte membranes in the DHA oil
group as well. These results suggest retroconversion of DHA to EPA and that DHA also interferes with linoleic acid metabolism. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of oral supplementation with evening primrose oil, containing 72% linoleic acid (18∶2n−6) and 10%
γ-linolenic acid (18∶3n−6), on the epidermal and neutrophil phospholipid fatty acid composition in 15 patients with atopic
dermatitis (AD). Three different dose levels, 4, 8 and 12 capsules per day containing 0.5 g oil, were given to three groups
of patients. The only n−6 fatty acid showing a significant (p<0.05) dose-related increase was dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (20∶3n−6)
in neutrophil phospholipids. The highest dose increased dihomo-γ-linolenic acid by 45% in neutrophil phospholipids, by 46%
in lesion-free epidermal phosphatidylcholine, and by 15% in lesion-free epidermal phosphatidylethanolamine. In both lesional
and lesion-free epidermis, supplementation resulted in a rise in the ratio between n−6 and monounsaturated fatty acids, reaching
significance (p<0.05) in lesional epidermis. This study shows that moderate and favorable fatty acid changes can be obtained
in the epidermis of AD patients, when given 6 g per day of oil rich in n−6 fatty acids. The abnormal lipid and fatty acid
pattern of the atopic epidermis may be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease, and should therefore be the target for
future therapeutic approaches with fatty acid supplements. 相似文献

Several studies have reported that feeding γ-linolenic acid (GLA) has resulted in no increase in arachidonic acid (AA) in
newborns. This result was ascribed to the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)-rich fish oil used in these formulas. Docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA) sources with only minor amounts of EPA are now available, thus the addition of GLA to infant formulas might be
considered an alternative to AA supplementation. Sixty-six premature infants were randomized to feeding one of four formulas
[ST: no GLA, no long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids; BO: 0.6% GLA (borage oil); BO + FOLOW: 0.6% GLA, 0.3% DHA, 0.06% EPA;
BO + FOHIGH: 0.6% GLA, 0.3% DHA, 0.2% EPA] or human milk (HM, nonrandomized) for 4 wk. Anthropometric measures and blood samples
were obtained at study entry and after 14 and 28 d. There were no significant differences between groups in anthropometric
measures, tocopherol, and retinol status at any of the studied time points. The AA content of plasma phospholipids was similar
between groups at study start and decreased significantly until day 28 in all formulafed groups, but not in the breast-fed
infants [ST: 6.6±0.2%, BO: 6.9±0.3%, BO + FOLOW: 6.9±0.4%, BO + FOHIGH: 6.7±0.2%, HM: 8.6±0.5%, where values are reported
as mean ±standard error; all formulas significantly different (P≤0.05) from HM]. There was no significant influence of GLA or fish oil addition to the diet. GLA had only a very limited effect
on AA status which was too small to obtain satisfactory concentrations (concentrations similar to breast-fed babies) under
the circumstances tested. The effect of GLA on AA is independent of the EPA and DHA content in the diet within the dose ranges
studied. 相似文献

Cholesterol gallstone formation in the prairie dog is accompanied by an increase in the percentage of biliaryphospholipids containing arachidonic acid, and an increase in gallbladder prostaglandin (PG) synthesis, but the pathogenetic significance of these
changes is unclear. Dietary supplementation with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid which is commonly found
in fish oil, decreases prostaglandin synthesis in some tissues by replacing arachidonic acid, and by competitively inhibiting
prostaglandin synthesis. We studied the effect of dietary fish oil on gallbladder PG synthesis, and the relative abundance
of various molecular species of phosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylethanolamines in bile and gallbladder epithelium in the
cholesterol-fed prairie dog. Prairie dogs were maintained for 4 weeks on one of four diets: i) control, ii) cholesterol-supplemented
(0.34%), iii) menhaden oil (50 g/kg chow), or iv) cholesterol plus menhaden oil. Supplementation with menhaden oil resulted
in a replacement of arachidonic and linoleic acids with EPA and docosahexaenoic acids in the phospholipids of bile and gallbladder
mucosa. In cholesterol-fed animals, supplementation with menhaden oil prevented increased gallbladder PG synthesis. Menhaden
oil also reduced the incidence of cholesterol monohydrate crystals among cholesterol-fed animals (9/20 with cholesterol plus
menhaden oil vs 21/22 with cholesterol alone), but the improvement could not clearly be attributed to decreased PG synthesis
since supplementation with menhaden oil also increased the total phospholipid concentration in bile, and decreased the degree
of cholesterol saturation. These results demonstrate that dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids significantly influences
biliary phospholipids, and decreases the incidence of cholesterol monohydrate crystal formation in this animal model. 相似文献

Mechanisms for the antiarrhythmic effect of n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are currently being investigated using
isolated cardiac myocytes. It is still not known whether the incorporation of n−3 PUFA into membrane phospholipids is a prerequisite
for its protective action or if n−3 PUFA exert antiarrhythmic effects in their nonesterified form as demonstrated by recent
studies. Adult porcine cardiomyocytes were grown in media supplemented with arachidonic acid (AA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA),
and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). After 24 h, analysis of total lipids showed that the myocytes were enriched with the respective
fatty acids compared to control cells. Large proportions of all three fatty acids supplemented (69% AA, 72% DHA, and 66% EPA)
remained unesterified. Fatty acid analysis of total phospholipids (PL) revealed that the incorporation of EPA and DHA, though
small, was significantly different (P<0.05) from that of the control cells. The PL fraction was further separated into phosphatidylinositol (Pl), phosphatidylethanolamine,
phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylserine to study the pattern of incorporation of the fatty acids in these fractions. It
became apparent that EPA and DHA were selectively incorporated into the Pl fraction. This study demonstrates that in adult
porcine cardiomyocytes, the n−3 PUFA supplementation selectively modulates two important lipid fractions, nonesterified fatty
acid and Pl, which were implicated in the mechanisms of prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. 相似文献

Fatty livers and the similarity between the skin lesions in kwashiorkor and those described in experimental essential fatty
acid (EFA) deficiency have led to the hypothesis that protein and EFA deficiencies may both occur in chronic malnutrition.
The relationship between serum very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and hepatic lipid composition was studied after 28 d of
protein depletion to determine the interactions between dietary protein levels and EFA availability. Rats were fed purified
diets containing 20 or 2% casein and 5% fat as either soybean oil rich in EFA, or salmon oil rich in eicosapentaenoic (EPA)
and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, or hydrogenated coconut, oil poor in EFA. Animals were divided into six groups, SOC (20%
casein +5% soybean oil), SOd (2% casein +5% soybean oil), COC (20% casein +5% hydrogenated coconut oil), COd (2% casein +
5% hydrogenated coconut oil), SAC (20% casein +5% salmon oil) and SAd (2% casein +5% salmon oil). After 28 d, liver steatosis
and reduced VLDL-phospholipid contents (P<0.001) were observed in protein-deficient rats. In protein deficiency, triacylglycerol and phospholipid fatty acid compositions
in both liver and VLDL showed a decreased polyunsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid ratio. This ratio was higher with the salmon
oil diets and lower with the hydrogenated coconut oil diets. Furthermore, independent of the oil in the diet, protein deficiency
decreased linoleic and arachidonic acids in VLDL phospholipids. Conversely, despite decreased proportions of EPA at low protein
levels, DHA levels remained higher in rats fed salmon oil diets. While in rats fed the hydrogenated coconut oil-fed diets
the amount of 22∶5n−6 was lower in liver, it was higher in VLDL lipids at low protein levels. Both EPA and arachidonic acid
are precursors of eicosanoids and their diminution may be related to certain clinical symptoms seen in infants suffering from
kwashiorkor. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate in healthy humans the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA) intake, alone or in combination with dL-α-tocopherol acetate (vitamin E) supplements on lipid peroxidation. Eightly
men were randomly assigned in a double-blind fashion to take daily for 6 wk either menhaden oil (6.26 g, n−3 fatty acids)
or olive oil supplements with either vitamin E (900 IU) or its placebo. Antioxidant vitamins, phospholipid composition, malondialdehyde
(MDA), and lipid peroxides were measured in the plasma at baseline and week 6. At the same time, breath alkane output was
measured. Plasma α-tocopherol concentration increased in those receiving vitamin E (P<0.0001). In those supplemented with n−3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA increased in plasma phospholipids (P<0.0001) and plasma MDA and lipid peroxides increased (P<0.001 and P<0.05, respectively). Breath alkane output did not change significantly and vitamin E intake did not prevent the increase
in lipid peroxidation during menhaden oil supplementation. The results demonstrate that supplementing the diet with n−3 fatty
acids resulted in an increase in lipid peroxidation, as measured by plasma MDA release and lipid peroxide products, which
was not suppressed by vitamin E supplementation. 相似文献

Effects of diets high in saturated fat and cholesterol on the lipid composition of canine platelets 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The phospholipid composition of platelets from dogs on various experimental diets was determined. Thyroidectomized foxhounds
were fed a control diet or the control diet supplemented with (1) beef tallow, (2) beef tallow and cholesterol, or (3) beef
tallow, cholesterol, and safflower oil for 23 weeks prior to isolation of platelets. Platelets from animals fed the control
diet contained 36.7% phosphatidylcholine (PC), 22.8% phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), 18.4% sphingomyelin (Sph), 11.8% phosphatidylserine
(PS), 6.3% phosphatidylinositol (PI), and 2.2% lysophosphatidylcholine. The PE was 77.6% in the plasmalogen form. No highly
significant changes in the phospholipid class composition resulted from the experimental diets. Cholesterol supplementation
of the diets, however, caused consistent alterations in the fatty acid compositions of the platelet phospholipids including
increases in the percentages of 18∶1ω9 (oleic acid), 18∶2ω6 (linoleic acid), and 20∶3ω6 (homo-gamma linolenic acid) and a
decrease in the percentage of 20∶4ω6 (arachidonic acid). Addition of safflower oil to the tallow-cholesterol diet partially
reversed these effects. These cholesterol-induced alterations in fatty acid composition could be due to exchange with plasma
lipids, de novo synthesis, or altered platelet metabolism. The mechanism remains to be determined.

Eicosapentaenoic acid is primarily responsible for hypotriglyceridemic effect of fish oil in humans 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The aim of this study was to determine whether eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), or both, were responsible
for the triglyceride (TG)-lowering effects of fish oil. EPA (91% pure) and DHA (83% pure), a fish oil concentrate (FOC; 41%
EPA and 23% DHA) and an olive oil (OO) placebo (all ethyl esters) were tested. A total of 49 normolipidemic subjects participated.
Each subject was given placebo for 2–3 wk and one of the n-3 supplements for 3 wk in randomized, blinded trials. The target
n-3 fatty acid (FA) intake was 3 g/day in all studies. Blood samples were drawn twice at the end of each supplementation phase
and analyzed for lipids, lipoproteins, and phospholipid FA composition. In all groups, the phospholipid FA composition changed
to reflect the n-3 FA given. On DHA supplementation, EPA levels increased to a small but significant extent, suggesting that
some retroconversion may have occurred. EPA supplementation did not raise DHA levels, however, FOC and EPA produced significant
decreases in both TG and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (C) levels (P<0.01) and increases in low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels (P<0.05). DHA supplementation did not affect cholesterol, triglyceride, VLDL, LDL, or high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels,
but it did cause a significant increase in the HDL2/HDL3 cholesterol ratio. We conclude that EPA appears to be primarily responsible for TG-lowering (and LDL-C raising) effects of
fish oil. 相似文献

Mycelia of arachidonic acid-producing fungi belonging to the genusMortierella were found to convert an oil containing α-linolenic acid to an oil containing 5,8,11,14,17-cis-eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). This conversion was observed when they were grown in a medium containing the oil, glucose and
yeast extract at 28 C. On the screening of various oils, linseed oil, in which α-linolenic acid amounts to about 60% of the
total fatty acids, was found to be the most suitable for EPA production. Under the optimal culture conditions, a selected
strain,Mortierella alpina 20-17, converted 5.1% of the α-linolenic acid in the added oil into EPA, the EPA production reaching 1.35 g/l of culture
broth (41.5 mg/g dry mycelia). This value corresponded to 7.1% (by weight) of the total fatty acids in the extracted lipids.
The lipid was also found to be rich in arachidonic acid (12.3%). Other major fatty acids in the lipid were palmitic acid (4.4%),
stearic acid (3.2%), oleic acid (13.5%), linoleic acid (13.7%), α-linolenic acid (38.5%) and γ-linolenic acid (0.9%). 相似文献

Greatly increasing the amounts of flaxseed oil [rich in α-linolenic acid (ALNA)] or fish oil (FO); [rich in eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)] in the diet can decrease inflammatory cell functions and so might impair host defense.
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary supplementation with moderate levels of ALNA, γ-linolenic
acid (GLA), arachidonic acid (ARA), DHA, or FO on inflammatory cell numbers and functions and on circulating levels of soluble
adhesion molecules. Healthy subjects aged 55 to 75 yr consumed nine capsules per day for 12 wk. The capsules contained placebo
oil (an 80∶20 mix of palm and sunflowerseed oils) or blends of placebo oil with oils rich in ALNA, GLA, ARA, or DHA or FO.
Subjects in these groups consumed 2 g ALNA; approximately 700 mg GLA, ARA, or DHA; or 1 g EPA plus DHA (720 mg EPA+280 mg
DHA) daily from the capsules. Total fat intake from the capsules was 4 g per day. None of the treatments affected inflammatory
cell numbers in the bloodstream; neutrophil and monocyte phagocytosis or respiratory burst in response to E. coli; production of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6 in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide; or
plasma concentrations of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1. In contrast, the ALNA and FO treatments decreased the
plasma concentrations of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (16 and 28% decrease, respectively) and soluble E-selectin
(23 and 17% decrease, respectively). It is concluded that, in contrast to previous reports using higher amounts of these fatty
acids, a moderate increase in consumption of long-chain n−6 or n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acids does not significantly affect
inflammatory cell numbers or neutrophil and monocyte responses in humans and so would not be expected to cause immune impairment.
Furthermore, we conclude that moderate levels of ALNA and FO, which could be incorporated into the diet, can decrease some
markers of endothelial activation and that this mechanism of action may contribute to the reported health benefits of n−3
fatty acids. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of fish oil supplementation on the synthesis of prostaglandin E (PGE)in vivo by measuring the excretion of its catabolite, PGE-M, in 24-hr urine by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Forty healthy
male volunteers (24–57 years of age) consumed a controlled basal diet providing 40% of energy from fat (P/S ratio about 0.8∶1),
130 mg/1000 kcal cholesterol, and a minimum of 22 mg/day of α-tocopherol (α-T), for three experimental periods lasting a total
of 28 weeks. During period 1 (10 weeks) the diet was supplemented with placebo (PO) capsules (15×1 g/day) consisting of a
blend of fats approaching the fatty acid profile of the basal diet. This was followed by a second 10-week period during which
the subjects received 15×1 g/day capsules of fish oil concentrate (FOC). During period 3 (8 weeks) they continued the 15 g/day
intake of FOC but received an additional 200 mg/day of α-T. PO and FOC capsules contained 1 mg α-T/g fat as antioxidant. A
14% reduction of PGE-M excretion was observed after 10 weeks of FOC supplementation (period 2), compared to an identical period
of placebo supplementation (period 1), P=0.009. PGE-M excretion during the last week of period 3 was not significantly different
from that at the end of period 2. The reduction in PGE synthesis in response to the relatively high marine oil supplementation
was large in many subjects participating in this study. 相似文献

There are conflicting findings over the bioavailability of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) from krill oil (KO) compared with fish oil (FO) in short- and long-term studies. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of KO versus FO on the enrichment of molecular species of plasma phospholipids in young women following a 30-day consumption of the n-3 oils. Eleven healthy women aged 18–45 years consumed seven capsules of KO per day (containing a total of 1.27 g n-3 PUFA) or five capsules of FO per day (total of 1.44 g n-3 PUFA) for 30 days in a randomized crossover study, separated by at least a 30-day washout period. Fasting blood samples were collected at day zero (baseline), day 15 and day 30 and analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS for molecular species of phospholipids. Supplementation increased n-3 PUFA in main phospholipids classes in both groups. After 30 days of supplementation, 35 out of 70 molecular species containing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPAn-3) had a significantly greater concentration in KO group compared with the FO treated group. The majority (89%) of the differentiated molecular species were choline and ethanolamine ether-phospholipids. These data reveal that analysis of plasma phospholipids following 30 days of consumption of KO (a marine oil rich in phospholipids, including ether phospholipids) resulted in an enrichment of n-3 PUFA in molecular species of ether-phospholipids compared with FO (a triacylglycerol-rich marine oil). 相似文献
