Long-Chain n-3 Fatty Acids Specifically Affect Rat Coagulation Factors Dependent on Vitamin K

Abstract: Abstract-Fatty acids of marine origin have been shown to affect blood coagulation in the rat. In an attempt to gain insight into the mechanisms of this phenomenon, we studied the effects of dietary linseed and fish oils on the liver antioxidant status and plasma coagulation parameters in rats on a time-course basis. Dietary enrichment in eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids resulted in strong hypocoagulation after only 1 week and a concomitant increase in liver lipid peroxidation and tocopherolquinone co… Show more

“…Our finding that infusion of DHA in mice increased hepatic lipid peroxide content is consistent with a large body of literature, primarily from studies of animals fed on diets enriched in PUFAs (45,(64)(65)(66)(67). For example, feeding rats on diets enriched in EPA, DHA, or LNA increased hepatic lipid peroxidation and the breakdown of vitamin E (64).…”

“…Such association between PUFA and ETP is consistent with our findings in rats. The physiological relevance of omega-3 PUFA in ETP regulation may be explained by interference with 41,42 or by other phenomena. 43,44 Although diet composition was enriched in vitamin K-containing nutrients, the lack of change in protein C and free protein S after healthy diet strongly suggests that vitamin K was not involved in diet-induced ETP regulation.…”

“…[60,61] In contrast, views on the mechanisms underlying the anticoagulant effects of n-3 PUFAs remain controversial. Some studies suggest these molecules may interfere in the carboxylation of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors II, VII, IX and X; [62,63] while other studies attribute more relevance to a modification in serum fibrinogen levels.…”
