No Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation on Cognition and Mood in Individuals with Cognitive Impairment and Probable Alzheimer’s Disease: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Findings from epidemiological and observational studies have indicated that diets high in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) may reduce the risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). To determine if increasing intake of DHA and EPA through supplementation is beneficial to cognition and mood in individuals with cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND) or Alzheimer’s disease (AD) a four month, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study was conducted. Fifty-seven participants with CIND and nineteen with AD were randomised to receive either omega-3 PUFAs (600 mg EPA and 625 mg DHA per day) or placebo (olive oil) over a four month period. Elevating depleted levels of EPA and DHA through supplementation in individuals with CIND or AD was found to have negligible beneficial effect on their cognition or mood. These findings confirm an overall negligible benefit of omega-3 PUFA supplementation for those with cognitive impairment and dementia. More intervention studies need to be undertaken with longer study durations and larger sample sizes. It may prove fruitful to examine effects of different doses as well as effects in other dementia subtypes.     

Relation between Indoor and Outdoor Exposure to Fine Particles near a Busy Arterial Road

Abstract Various studies on indoor and outdoor particulate matter in the urban environment in the vicinity of busy arterial roads in the centre of the subtropical city of Brisbane have indicated that the revised United States Environmental Protection Agency National Ambient Air Quality Standards (US EPA NAAQS) for Particulate matter PM_2.5 could be exceeded not only outdoors but also indoors. The aim of this work was to investigate outdoor exposure to submicrometer particles and their relationship with indoor exposure in a hypothetical office building located in the vicinity of a busy arterial road. The outdoor exposure values and trends were measured in terms of particle number in the submicrometer size range and were then recalculated to represent mass concentration trends. The results of this study indicate that exposure to PM_0.7 particles in ambient air close to a busy road often exceeds the levels of the annual and 24-hour US EPA NAAQS PM_2.5 standards. It is likely that exposure to PM_2.5 is even higher, and may significantly exceed these standards.

Effect of temperature programming on the performance of urea inclusion compound-based free fatty acid fractionation

The effect of cooling rate on the degree of removal of saturated acyl groups from FFA derived from canola oil and the isolation of di- and polyunsaturated acyl groups from FFA derived from vegetable and fish oil, respectively, during urea inclusion compound (UIC)-based fractionation was investigated. Traditionally, slow cooling has been used (ca.−1°C min⁻¹). A more rapid cooling rate (−47°C min⁻¹) produced UIC crystals of similar morphology and thermodynamic properties, but of a size an order of magnitude smaller than the UIC formed during slow cooling. Fractionations used only renewable materials (urea, FFA, and 95% ethanol as solvent) and benign operating conditions (ambient pressure, 25–75°C, and neutral pH). When the recovery of FFA (in the solvent-rich phase) was relatively high (>60%), the selectivity of UIC-based fractionation toward the inclusion of saturated FFA and against polyunsaturated FFA was not affected by the cooling rate. In contrast, when the FFA recovery was low, representing cases in which an increase of the PUFA purity is a more important economic goal, a slower cooling rate resulted in a significantly greater discrimination against PUFA groups, hence to a FFA product with a measurably greater purity. This paper was presented at the 96th AOCS Anual Meeting and Expo, Salt Lake City, Utah, on May 4, 2005.

Mercury and Fatty Acids in Canned Tuna, Salmon, and Mackerel

ABSTRACT: Canned tuna ( n = 240), salmon ( n = 16), and mackerel ( n = 16) were analyzed for mercury and fatty acids. Average mercury levels were 188, 45, and 55 ppb, respectively, and below the FDA Action Level of 1000 ppb. "Light tuna in water" contained lower mercury (x = 54 ppb) compared with "white/albacore tuna in water," which contained higher eicosapentaenoic acid/docosahexaenoic acid (EPA/DHA) x= 711 mg/100 g wet tissue). Mercury residues in salmon (x = 45 ppb) and mackerel (x = 55 ppb) were lower than in tuna products, but the EPA/DHA levels were higher (salmon, ×= 1623 mg/100 g wet tissue; mackerel, ×= 851 mg/100 g wet tissue). Information from this study will help women of childbearing age to limit their intake of mercury while obtaining healthy fats from fish.
