RESUMEN Evaluación de la bioconversión hepática de ácido a-linolénico (ALA) a ácido eicosapentaenoico (EPA) y ácido docosahexaenoico (DHA) en ratas alimentadas con aceites de chía (Salvia hispánica) o rosa mosqueta (Rosa rubiginosa).El elevado aporte en la dieta de ácidos grasos omega-6, en relación a los ácidos grasos omega-3, genera alteraciones de la salud cardiovascular, inflamación y otras patologías crónicas no transmisibles. Por otro lado, el pescado rico en ácidos grasos omega-3 es de bajo consumo en Latinoamérica, siendo necesario buscar otras alternativas de aporte de ácidos grasos omega-3, como lo son el aceite de chía (CO) o el de rosa mosqueta (RMO), ricos en ácido a-linolénico (ALA), que es el precursor de los ácidos grasos omega-3, eicosapentaenoico (EPA) y docosahexaenoico (DHA). Este trabajo evaluó en forma preliminar la bioconversión hepática del ALA en EPA y DHA y el daño hepático (histología y transaminasas) en ratas Sprague-Dawley alimentadas con diferentes aceites vegetales. Se conformaron cuatro grupos experimentales (n 5 9 animales por grupo) que recibieron durante 21 días: a) aceite de girasol (SFO); b) RMO, c) CO y d) aceite de oliva adicionado de aceite de pescado (EPA 1 DHA) (OO/FO). RMO y CO aumentaron los niveles hepáticos de ALA, EPA y DHA y disminuyeron la razón n-6/n-3 respecto a SFO (p 0,05), sin cambios en paráme-tros de daño hepático. Se concluye que CO y RMO pueden ser una alternativa nutricional de aporte de ALA para su bioconversión en EPA y DHA.

SUMMARY Evaluation of the hepatic bioconversion of a-linolenic acid (ALA) to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in rats fed with oils from chia (Salvia hispánica) or rosa mosqueta (rosa Rubiginosa).The high dietary intake of n-6 fatty acids in relation to n-3 fatty acids generates health disorders, such as cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory diseases and other chronic diseases. The consumption of fish, which is rich in n-3 fatty acids, is low in Latin America and it is necessary to seek other alternatives, such as chia oil (CO) or rosa mosqueta oil (RMO), which are rich in a-linolenic acid (ALA), the precursor of the n -3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This study evaluates the hepatic bioconversion of ALA to EPA and DHA and the damage to the liver (histology and transaminase) in SpragueDawley rats fed different vegetable oils. Four experimental groups (n 5 9 animals each group) were fed the following dietary supplements for 21 days: a) sunflower oil (SFO), b) RMO, c) CO d) olive oil with fish oil added (EPA and DHA) (OO/FO). RMO and CO increased the hepatic levels of ALA, EPA and DHA and decreased the n-6/n-3 ratio compared to SFO (p 0.05) without changes in the parameters of liver damage. It is concluded that CO and RMO may be nutritional alternatives for providing ALA for its bioconversion to EPA and DHA. ...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
