Positive Correlation between Erythrocyte Levels of n–3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Bone Mass in Postmenopausal Korean Women with Osteoporosis

Abstract: Background: Osteoporosis, a major health problem among postmenopausal women, is influenced by dietary factors. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the hypothesis that erythrocyte levels of n–3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and the dietary intake of fish are associated with risk of osteoporosis and correlate with bone mass in postmenopausal Korean women with the disease. Methods: Fifty cases and 100 controls were recruited. Osteoporosis was defined according to the International Society for Cli… Show more

“…Previously, we observed that the average erythrocyte levels of n-3 PUFA were approximately 10% among Koreans, which is similar to the Japanese rate but higher than in Western populations [20,21]. The Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination survey consistently reported that Korean adults consumed higher amounts of fish (50 g/day) than did Western populations [22].…”

“…Equally, promising results are now available regarding their positive effects on inflammatory diseases, cancer, and osteoporosis (Moon et al, 2012). The use of PNEC in cereal mixes, cereal bars, or bakery products would be a good alternative to provide high contents of oleic and linoleic acids, and also linolenic acid, and thus enhance the nutritional quality of foods.…”

“…Several PUFA have shown to affect bone cells via different cellular signaling pathways or growth factors, thereby modulating bone formation, reabsorption and density in different animals, including humans (Jarvinen et al 2012;Moon et al 2012;Rahman et al 2009;Salari et al 2008). On the other hand, fatty acids play a central role in the induction of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) to adipocyte differentiation, as well as in adipose tissue hypertrophy, because they have the ability to activate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARc), which is a transcription factor inducing adipogenesis (Lopez et al 2003;Shillabeer and Lau 1994).…”
