Low Serum n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid/n-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Ratio Predicts Neurological Deterioration in Japanese Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke

Abstract: Background: Epidemiological and clinical trials have shown that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease or stroke. However, the association between PUFAs and acute-phase stroke has not yet been thoroughly studied. We investigated the impact of serum PUFAs on early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: In this retrospective study, we enrolled 281 Japanese patients (mean age: 75 ± 13 years; 165 males) with acute ischemic s… Show more

“…Standard C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly different in ICH [37] and in some studies of IS [6G]. However, high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) predicted END in IS [12,23,41,43,54], which is supported by studies showing that raised hsCRP is also associated with IS risk [55]. Leucocyte count was elevated in END in IS [7-9, 11, 16, 17, 22, 25, 26, 29, 35, 36, 39, 45, 53, 56, 57] [AD] and ICH [6,37] There were several notable findings amongst studies which could not be combined in the meta-analysis (online suppl.…”
