“…Despite no significant differences were obtained, these results agree with those found in other studies where aerobic-anaerobic exercise was practiced, one among basketball players, with a similar response in SFA and n-6 PUFA [40], and among boxers with a similar trend in SFA [22]. So, if previous reports are taken into account, it can be stated that there is a clear change in SFA and n-6 PUFA in response to aerobic-anaerobic exercise.…”

Aim: The aim of this survey is to examine the effects of physical training on erythrocyte membrane fatty acids percentages as well as to analyze cellular adaptations in young sportsmen.Methods: Forty-four male volunteers participated: a group of 22 Trained players (TG) (age: 17.86 ± 0.36 years; weight: 69.86 ± 4.53 Kg; height: 1.78 ± 0.54 m), with a regular football training plan of 10 hours/week, and a group of 22 Untrained participants (UG) (age: 18.23 ± 0.49 years; weight: 72.10 ± 8.56 Kg; height: 1.68 ± 0.39 m). Gas chromatograph HP-5890 Series II was used to determine fatty acids concentrations. Results:Higher levels were obtained in the TG group in C12:0 (0.31 ± 0.35 vs. 0.03 ± 0.04%, P < 0.001) and in n-6/n-3 index (8.74 ± 5.20 vs. 4.29 ± 1.09, P < 0.001), and lower values in C22:6 (3.00 ± 3.51 vs. 5.08 ± 1.44%, P < 0.01) in comparison with the UT group. Moreover, a correlation of these parameters and the Lipid Peroxidation index with training degree were observed. Conclusion:10 hours/week aerobic-anaerobic football training program produces C12:0, n-6/n-3 index, C22:6 modifications in erythrocyte membrane.

“…This fact was especially noticeable among female football players, amending, in this case, oleic acid (18:1C) and MUFA, whereas in another study among professional football players, palmitoleic acid (16:1) was amended by Tepsic [40].…”

“…The fatty acids present in erythrocyte membrane phospholipids can be incorporated during de novo synthesis or via exchange from the pool of fatty acids in the plasma [12]. The membrane fatty acid composition is a dynamic system, one that keeps changing based on selective recruitment of fatty acids from precursor pools [19]. The fatty acid composition of plasma phospholipids poorly reflect long-term dietary intake (as a result of the fast turnover) while those of red blood cells portray dietary fat intake during the preceding months.…”

Fatty acid profiling has become a very useful and effective tool in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of several diseases with cardiovascular disease being particularly important. In order to arrive at accurate conclusions that would help promote the health of individuals plagued by such diseases, not only excellent laboratory methods are required, but also very important monitoring responses to treatment. Improvements in methods of fatty acid profiling in biological systems regarding safety of extraction, precision and time for analysis are valuable. The ω-3 index (a measure of the amount of eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid, DHA, in Red Blood Cell membranes expressed as the percent of total fatty acids) is of growing interest because it has been reported to provide prognostic information regarding the risk for heart diseases. Sodium methoxide has been widely used for the determination of ω -3 fatty acids in food samples. This study demonstrates that sodium methoxide can be used effectively in RBC fatty acid profiling and determination of the ω-3 index. Briefly, the fatty acid profiles and ω-3 index of red blood cell samples were analyzed and results compared using three different methods: a two-step extraction and methylation method described by Hara and Radin, a single step extraction and methylation method described by Harris et al. and the sodium methoxide method.Our results revealed that there were no statistically significant differences (p<0.05) between the three methods for the representative fatty acids, [16:0 (p = 0.10), 18:0 (p=0.40), 18:1(ω9) (p = 0.29), 18:2(ω6) (p = 0.95), 18:3(ω3) (p = 0.50), 20:5(ω3) (p=0.56), 22:6(ω3) (p = 0.06)] and ω-3 index (p = 0.11) except for 20:4(ω6), (P = 0.02). In conclusion, we show that sodium methoxide can be used effectively in a one-step extraction and methylation procedure for high throughput analysis of fatty acids in red blood cell membranes. It is rapid (10 minute extraction and methylation), simple, safer than and as accurate as other commonly reported methods.

“…Interestingly, these sportsmen do not have high levels of n-6 PUFAs (which are even lower than in the other athletes), but very low proportion of n-3 PUFAs. Athletes engaged in heavy training programs appear to be more susceptible to infections than sedentary population due to a depression of immune system function, which could be explained by unfavorable PUFAs ratios (45). Based on these results, nutritional intervention and n-3 supplementation in all sport groups is recommended, and in boxers both n-6 and n-3 PUFAs intake should be markedly increased.…”

Low-grade systemic infl ammation is at the base of the most chronic non-communicable diseases, which are reaching epidemic proportions worldwide. Key players in the regulation of infl ammation are n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), in particular arachidonic acid (n-6) and eicosapentaenoic acid (n-3). Th ey are precursors of eicosanoids -signaling molecules involved in modulating the intensity and duration of infl ammatory responses. Eicosanoids derived from n-6 PUFAs have proinfl ammatory actions, while those derived from n-3 PUFAs act anti-infl ammatory. Th erefore, dietary intake of n-6 and n-3 PUFAs, as well as their ratio, could markedly aff ect the pathogenesis and manifestation of many chronic diseases associated with low-grade infl ammation. Th is review will focus on the relationship between dietaryPUFAs and infl ammation, with reference to PUFAs status in plasma phospholipids in Serbian population.
