Evidence suggesting an association between n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and stroke risk has been inconsistent, possibly because previous studies have not differentiated between different stroke types. The present study investigated the hypothesis that tissue levels of n-3 PUFA are
Intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been suggested to associate with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke. The present study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that EPA and DHA increase oxidative stress and
Dietary intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids has been associated with decreased clotting ability and increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke. The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of dietary supplementation of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid on functional outcome after
Appropriate metabolic interventions after hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation injury have not yet been identified. We aimed to examine the effects of fish oil on lipid metabolic intervention after hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation. Firstly, 48 C57BL/6 mice were assigned to six groups (n = 8 per group).
Studies have suggested that the significant suppression of cellular immunity following hemorrhage may be due to an increased release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by macrophages. Since diets high in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids decrease PGE2 synthesis, we assessed whether hemorrhage-induced
OBJECTIVE
Acute pancreatitis often requires parenteral nutrition. Thus, we analyzed, using a randomized trial, whether different fatty acids in parenteral nutrition influence lipidperoxidation and histopathology in acute pancreatitis in rats.
METHODS
Seventy-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were
Female weanling rats in three equal groups (n 12) were given orally by intubation 1 ml micellar solution of taurocholic acid (10 mM) and either arachidonic acid (20:4 n-6), linoleic acid (18:2 n-6) or eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 n-3) at a concentration of 120 mM. After 1 h the rats were given
Mesenteric bleeding time, mesenteric vascular reactivity, platelet and erythrocyte lipid fatty acid composition were measured at 2-3 weeks, 5-6 weeks and 11-22 weeks in normotensive Wistar rats, fed on high (6.5% energy) or moderate (1.6% energy) intakes of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3; EPA) as
The long-term effects of fish-oil supplementation on haemostatic parameters and bleeding episodes were investigated in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. They were investigated before and 9 months after the operation. Following randomization postoperatively, 260 patients received 4
Twenty-two patients with stable coronary heart disease were randomly assigned to either of two groups. Group I (n = 11) was given acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 300 mg daily for 1 week, whereafter a daily supplement of 3,4 g eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) as a highly
BACKGROUND
Cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and recent studies indicate that Rho-kinase plays an important role in the occurrence of such cerebral vasospasm. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid,
BACKGROUND
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have purported protective cardiovascular (CV) effects. We sought to assess the evidence available for the use of omega-3 PUFAs for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
METHODS
A systematic literature search was conducted using MEDLINE
BACKGROUND
Polyunsaturated fatty acids have the potential to attenuate inflammation by the synthesis of mediators of the 15-lipoxygenase pathways, which show opposite effects to the pro-inflammatory arachidonic acid metabolites such as leukotriene B4 (LTB4).
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this clinical study
OBJECTIVE
Our group recently found higher levels of serum long chain-polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) in patients with chronic periodontitis compared to controls. However, the effect of periodontal treatment on LC-PUFA serum levels has not been investigated. The primary aim of the present
