Total fat and (n-3):(n-6) fat ratios influence eicosanoid production in mice
The Journal of Nutrition
2002 Previous studies have not addressed the effect of differing fat intake on the effectiveness of varying (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ingestion in altering tissue composition and eicosanoid production. This study examined (n-3):(n-6) PUFA ratios of 0, ...
Reduced asthma symptoms with n-3 fatty acid ingestion are related to 5-series leukotriene production
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
1997 Asthma may respond to dietary modification, thereby reducing the need for pharmacologic agents. This study determined the effectiveness of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ingestion in ameliorating methacholine-induced respiratory distress in an ...
Frequency of (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid consumption induces alterations in tissue lipid composition and eicosanoid synthesis in CD-1 mice
The Journal of Nutrition
1994 This study assessed the effect of frequency of consumption of a diet containing 10 g fat/100 g, with a (n-3):(n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio of 0.5, on tissue fatty acid composition and eicosanoid synthesis in CD-1 mice. With greater (n-3) PUFA ...
Effect of increasing the dietary (n-3) to (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio on murine liver and peritoneal cell fatty acids and eicosanoid formation
The Journal of Nutrition
1991 An incremental increase in the dietary (n-3):(n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio from 0 to 1.93 in diets containing 15% fat (wt/wt) decreased the total (n-6) PUFA content of phospholipids of the liver and peritoneal cells (macrophage) in mice from 43.1 and 33.6 mol/100 mol to 16.0 and 12.3 mol/100 mol with a concomitant increase of 27.6 and 16.1 mol/100 mol in (n-3) PUFA, respectively. Consumption of (n-3) PUFA increased hepatic (n-3) PUFA levels without changing total PUFA (46.35 vs. 46.87 mol/100 mol), whereas macrophage PUFA levels were decreased...
Dietary unsaturated fatty acids: interactions and possible needs in relation to eicosanoid synthesis
The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry
1990 In addition to providing energy and essential fatty acids, dietary fatty acids can affect numerous biochemical and physiologic reactions related to secretory, cardiovascular, and immune functions. The major dietary unsaturated fatty acid, linoleic acid, affects tissue ...
