Serum fatty acid composition and indices of stearoyl-CoA desaturase activity are associated with systemic inflammation : longitudinal analyses in middle-aged men

Abstract: Altered fatty acid (FA) composition is related to insulin resistance and CVD. One possible mediator may be inflammation, but longitudinal data relating FA composition to inflammation taking insulin resistance into account are limited. We investigated the long-term association between FA composition and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations in a large population-based cohort study in 767 men followed for 20 years. The association between FA composition in serum cholesteryl esters at age 50 and CRP concentrati… Show more

“…To date, only two Swedish studies have explored the relationship between desaturase and CRP concentration [10,11] one of which showed similar results to ours [10]. Our results suggest that high D5D is protective against inflammation, although the mechanism of this effect is unclear.…”

“…The fatty acid composition of serum cholesteryl esters can be used as a quantitative biomarker of fatty acid intake [6]. A number of studies have examined the association between serum cholesteryl esters fatty acid composition and CRP concentration in Western populations [7][8][9][10][11]. CRP concentrations have been positively associated with saturated fatty acids such as stearic acid [11] and monounsaturated fatty acids such as palmitoleic acid [10,11] and oleic acid [10], but inversely associated with polyunsaturated fatty acids such as n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids [7], alpha-linolenic acid [8,9], eicosapentaenoic acid [8] and linoleic acid [7].…”

“…In this study, the ratios between specifi c FA products and their precursors were used to estimate the enzymatic activity of brain desturase and elongase systems, which is a common approach in some other tissues, as liver or plasma [47]. Brain FA composition is a complex mixture of de novo synthesized FA in the brain tissue and FA derived from the diet or synthesized in the liver.…”

“…While some believed that n-6 fatty acids are pro-inflammatory compared with n-3 fatty acids, this hypothesis is not supported by clinical or epidemiologic data in humans [11]. Rather, some data show that consumption of linoleic acid is inversely related to plasma C-reactive protein concentrations, and therefore is anti-inflammatory [19,20]. People who consume approximately 3 servings per day of whole grain foods are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than low consumers (<3 servings per week) with a risk reduction in the order of 20-30% [21].…”
