Accumulation of Eicosapentaenoic Acid in Membranes of Erythrocytes and Leukocytes during Alterative-Exudative and Allergic Inflammation

Abstract: Children patients with alterative-exudative (gastrointestinal diseases) and allergic inflammation (bronchial asthma) exhibited similar changes in fatty acid composition of erythrocyte and leukocyte membranes. They included accumulation of considerable amounts of eicosapentaenoic acid and decrease in the content of docosahexaenoic acid (long-chain derivative of eicosapentaenoic acid). The accumulation of eicosapentaenoic acid and decrease in the content of docosahexaenoic acid in cell membranes probably play a … Show more

“…The membrane composition of the placebo and experimental groups' neutrophils should be different in line with the greater DHA content in experimental group's erythrocytes. In fact, similar changes in the fatty acid composition of erythrocyte and leukocyte membranes have been pointed out in child patients with alterative-exudative and allergic inflammation [ 48 ], in the same way as diet supplementation with fish oil is known to significantly increase the DHA content of lymphocyte and monocytes membranes [ 47 , 49 ]. The enrichment of DHA in cellular membranes could modulate several signalling responses to different stimuli [ 50 , 51 ].…”
