Contribution of meat fat to dietary arachidonic acid

Abstract: Arachidonic acid (AA) in the diet can be efficiently absorbed and incorporated into tissue membranes, resulting in an increased production of thromboxane A 2 by platelets and increased ex vivo platelet aggregability. Results from previous studies have shown that AA is concentrated in the membrane phospholipids of lean meats. However, the concentration of AA in the visible fat portion of meats also may be significant despite being ignored in most studies. The aim of this study was to accurately quantitate the A… Show more

“…We did observe an independent negative association with triglyceride levels in both surveys, in agreement with the hypotriglyceridaemic effect attributed to marine fatty acids [14]. The associations and trends reported in the PIVUS survey may be attributed to the fact that there was also a moderate positive loading from arachidonic acid, which is usually from dietary animal sources [41]. Indeed, we did not observe such associations when EPA or DHA was evaluated individually.…”

“…However, the arachidonic acid contents of lean red meats, poultry, liver, and eggs in our table (Table 19) are quite comparable to those published in one of these studies (35). We have taken into account in our table that meat fat, especially pork fat, can significantly contribute to dietary arachidonic acid intake (37), but this does not seem to be able to explain the large difference between the study by Meyer et al (15) and this and other studies. The single 24-h recall used in the study by Meyer et al has perhaps underestimated the intake of some foods.…”

“…The highest intakes are found in Japan, with EPA + DHA intakes amounting to 1-1.5 g/d in men and 0.7-1.1 g/d in women (9,10,26,31,32), but high values also have been found in Norway (1 g/d in men and 0.7 g/d in women) (14) and in Spain (about 0.7 g/d in pooled men and women) (34,37), likely due to the higher consumption of fish in Scandinavian countries and in Spain than in the rest of Europe (38). Lower values of EPA + DHA intake have been found in the United States (210 mg/d in men and 240 mg/d in women) (24), in Germany (ca.…”

“…fused silica column bonded phase column (BPX70, SGE, Melbourne, Australia). Fatty acids were identified by comparison with standard mixtures of fatty acid methyl esters and the results were calculated using response factors derived from chromatograph of standards of known composition (Nu-Chek-Prep, Elysian, MN, USA) [11].…”
