Abstract:The composition of fatty acids in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue and the correlation of fatty acid values of plasma and erythrocytes had not been reported in Japan. The aim of the present study was to investigate the fatty acid composition and correlation of plasma and erythrocyte phospholipids (PL) and adipose triacylglycerols (TG) in 75 adult patients admitted for non-malignant diseases. We also examined the relationship of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) with patients' characteristics. … Show more
“…That age and sex showed a significant impact on PUFA levels will be important to assess further. The positive correlations found between each of the three PUFAs and age are consistent with the findings of previous reports [13,14]. The association between PUFAs and PTSD should now be explored in a well-designed observational study; if the observed association is judged to be causal, intervention trials will then be needed to elucidate causality.…”

“…This finding has been noted in some previous studies 8,10,13,14,32 but not in others. 9,12 Some researchers consider that this reflects higher consumption of seafood by women than by men; however, this was not the case in the present study.…”
The inverse association between SES and omega-3 index is largely explained (40%) by an insufficient seafood intake. It remains to be seen which other factors mediate this association.
“…It is also unclear whether 8.3 is a critical inflection point or not. However, 8.3 is a possible value for elderly Japanese people at least 24 . Further large-scale studies are required to determine whether there is a suitable range of serum ARA levels for P300 components because there was the limitation that the number of participants in this study was small.…”
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.
