Attenuation of colonic inflammation by partial replacement of dietary linoleic acid with α-linolenic acid in a rat model of inflammatory bowel disease

Abstract: Increasing prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease may be due to imbalance in the intake of n-6 and n-3 PUFA in the diet. This study investigates the impact of varying ratios of dietary linoleic acid (LA, 18 : 2n-6) to a-linolenic acid (ALA, 18 : 3n-3) on the inflammatory response in dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. Weanling male Sprague -Dawley rats were divided into five groups: a non-colitic group with a LA:ALA ratio of 215 (CON-215), and colitic groups with LA:ALA ratios of 215 (DSS-215), 50… Show more

Supplementation of LCn3s has also been shown to reduce plasma endotoxin levels in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in rats [147].…”

“…The dietary practices in India are very different from the West. The present study endeavours to address some of the above dietary issues for UC in India as data is scarce and limited to animal studies [5,6] . fig, brinjal, cucumber, tomato, onion, chilli varieties, plantain, beet, garlic, ginger, peas, ladies' fingers, carrot, pumpkin, gourd varieties, radish, beans, perbol, salads and mixed vegetables].…”

“…Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is an essential omega-3 fatty acid and organic compound found in seeds (chia and flaxseed), nuts (notably walnuts), and many common vegetable oils [12,13]. ALA can only be obtained by humans through their diets because the absence of the required 12-and 15-desaturase enzymes makes de novo synthesis from stearic acid impossible [14]. Dietary ALA has been assessed for its role in cardiovascular health, showing that the weight of the evidence favors recommendations for modest dietary consumption of ALA (2-3 g/day) for the primary and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease [15].…”
