Arachidonic acid (ARA), an omega-6 (ω-6) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), is involved in the development and maintenance of renal functions, whereas docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 (ω-3) PUFA that has anti-inflammatory effects and attenuates nephropathy. However, their effects on the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of feeding ARA, DHA, and ARA and DHA-containing diets on rats with 5/6 nephrectomized kidneys. Urine and feces were collected every 4 weeks, and the kidneys were collected at 16 weeks after surgery. Urinary albumin (U-ALB) excretion increased gradually with nephrectomy, but the U-ALB excretion was attenuated by feeding the rats with an ARA + DHA-containing diet. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the kidneys were lower in the ARA + DHA group than in the other groups. At 4 weeks after surgery, the lipid peroxide (LPO) levels in the plasma of the ARA + DHA groups decreased significantly after surgery compared to the control CKD group, but this did not happen at 16 weeks post-surgery. There was a significant negative correlation between LPO levels in the plasma at 4 weeks and creatinine clearance, and a positive correlation with urinary albumin levels. These results suggest that the combination of ARA and DHA inhibit the progress of early stage CKD.

Minyak ikan patin mengandung kadar asam lemak omega-9, tetapi rendah asam lemak omega 3 Minyak hati ikan hiu memiliki kandungan asam lemak omega 3 relatif tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan karakteristik dan sifat kimia minyak ikan patin dan profil asam lemak kombinasi minyak ikan patin dengan hati kan hiu. Metode penelitian eksperimen dengan melakukan ekstraksi lemak perut ikan patin secara dry rendering dihasilkan minyak kasar dan dimurnikan. Minyak ikan patin murni dilakukan pencampuran dengan minyak hati ikan hiu. dengan perbandingan 1:1, 2:1 dan 2:1. Parameter analisis terdiri atas karakteristik kimia (bilangan asam lemak bebas (ALB),bilangan  asam, peroksida, iod,  p-anisidin, penyabunan, total oksida/totox), dan profil asam lemak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi  minyak patin dan hati ikan hiu dihasilkan karakteristik kimia terdiri atas asam lemak bebas sebesar 1,59-2,19%, bilangan asam 2,86-3,00 mg KOH/g, peroksida 15,50-18,32 meq/kg, iod 63,46-84,42 gI2/100g), p-anisidin 21,53-24,16, penyabunan 142,21-162,28 mg KOH/g dan TOTOX 53,33-69,43. Hasil analisis komposisi asam lemak jenuh (saturated fatty acid/SAFA) dihasilkan  asam palmitat tertinggi,  asam lemak tak jenuh tunggal  (mono unsaturated fatty acid/MUFA)  asam oleat,  dan asam lemak tak jenuh ganda (polyunsaturated fatty acid/PUFA)  asam linoleat. Hasil analisis karakteristik kimia kombinasi  minyak ikan patin dan hati ikan hiu sesuai dengan standar IFOMA. Kombinasi minyak hati ikan hiu dan ikan patin dengan perbandingan (2:1) dihasilkan kandungan omega 3 dan omega 6 sebesar 2,59 % dan 29,75%.

Background: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) of the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFA) family plays important roles in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, while, arachidonic acid (AA) of the ω-6 PUFA family promotes inflammatory and prothrombotic influences. Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a heart syndrome associated with transient myocardial contractile dysfunction. Decreased endothelial function in response to acute mental stress has been reported in patients with a prior episode of TTC. However, the pathogenesis of TTC remains unclear and the relationship between TTC and EPA/AA ratio has not been elucidated. Methods and Results: This study consisted of 10 consecutive patients with clinically diagnosed TTC. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the plasma EPA/AA ratio and the early stage of clinically diagnosed TTC. To examine the plasma fatty acid level, blood samples were obtained from control, old myocardial infarction, and clinically diagnosed TTC patients. A clinically diagnosed TTC patients revealed a lower plasma EPA/AA ratio [Control patients, 0.58 (n=18) vs OMI patients, 0.38 (n=22) vs TTC patients, 0.12 (n=10), p=0.011]. High-sensitivity CRP levels and a low plasma EPA/AA ratio could independently predict the prevalence of TTC on multivariate logistic regression analysis [odds ratio 1.83 (95%CI 1.03-3.25), p=0.036 and odds ratio 2.05 (95%CI 1.12-3.92), p=0.02)]. Conclusion: In patients with TTC, a low plasma EPA/AA ratio was significantly associated with the early stage of clinically diagnosed TTC. The findings implicate lower EPA/AA ratio and the following endothelial dysfunction as a potential mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of this unique cardiomyopathy.

Objective This study aimed to assess polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) status and association with systemic inflammation and fish consumption in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Parameters of PUFA status including the proportion of omega-6 and -3 fatty acids in highly unsaturated fatty acids (omega-6%, omega-3%), essential fatty acids linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the omega-6 PUFA arachidonic acid (ARA) and the sum of key omega-3 PUFA eicosapentaenoic acid+docosahexaenoic acid (omega-3 status) were measured by gas chromatography in 68 SLE patients (88.2% female, aged 45.7±12.5 years). Associations with serum CRP, disease activity, damage and fish consumption were assessed by linear regression modelling adjusted for age, sex and body mass index. Associations are reported in terms of regression coefficients (β). Results Omega-6 PUFA were associated with higher CRP: omega-6% (β = 0.052, p = 0.02), the ratio of LA/ALA (β = 0.007, p = 0.02) and ARA (β = 0.308, p = 0.001). Conversely, omega-3% was associated with lower CRP (β = −0.051, p = 0.02). Increased dietary PUFA consumption from fish (g/day) was linked to a higher omega-3 status (β = 2.21, p = 0.02) and lower self-reported damage (Brief Index of Lupus Damage; β = −3.22, p = 0.02). Conclusions Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid status differentially reflect systemic inflammation in SLE and are linked to fish consumption.
