Flaxseed oil and fish-oil capsule consumption alters human red blood cell n–3 fatty acid composition: a multiple-dosing trial comparing 2 sources of n–3 fatty acid

Abstract: The consumption of ALA-enriched supplements for 12 wk was sufficient to elevate erythrocyte EPA and docosapentaenoic acid content, which shows the effectiveness of ALA conversion and accretion into erythrocytes. The amounts of ALA required to obtain these effects are amounts that are easily achieved in the general population by dietary modification.

“…1). The present findings indicate that palatability of the FD for rats fed the LD during the dietary treatment period was higher than that of the FD at the beginning of the self-selection period, and this contributes to greater consumption of the FD compared to the LD because there are many reports that dietary fats are absorbed very effectively from the digestive tract and an increase in plasma n-3 FA content, particularly EPA and DHA, are observed after consumption of fish oil enriched diet (4,30,(33)(34)(35)(36). These results lead us to conclude that, at the beginning of the self-selection period, rats fed the LD consumed a larger amount of the FD than rats fed the FD diet to counteract the effect of an n-3 FA shortage during the experimental period.…”

“…We concluded that ALA in the PD failed to reduce the plasma lipid concentration. Although many reports also showed that diets enriched with fish oil reduce plasma TG concentration (30,(33)(34)(35), Finnegan et al reported that 4.5 and 9.5 g ALA intervention for 6 mo failed to reduce fasting and postprandial plasma lipid concentrations (33) and Barceleó-Coblijin et al reported that 3.6 g flaxseed oil intervention for 12 wk failed to reduce plasma lipid concentrations (4). It has been reported that dietary ALA can be converted to long-chain n-3 PUFA in animals and may reproduce some of the beneficial effects of EPAϩDHA (4,5).…”

“…These fatty acids are known to be crucial for normal growth and development (reviewed by Ruxton et al, 2004). They also reduce risk of cardio-vascular disease (reviewed by Givens and Gibbs, 2008), decrease incidence of age-related eye disease (SanGiovanni et al, 2008), positively alter human red blood cell fatty-acid composition (Barcelo-Coblijn et al, 2008), decrease risk of cancer and have a number of other health benefits (Berquin et al, 2008;Li et al, 2008;Mozaffarian, 2008).…”

“…There are convincing evidences that consumption of vegetable oils have beneficial effects on human health (Barceló-Coblijn et al, 2008;Foster, Hardy, & Alany, 2010;Schwab et al, 2006). It is mainly due to their FAs composition, with unsaturated FA as predominant.…”
