“…In a meta-analysis of the findings of rheumatoid arthritis patients, Barkoot and colleagues showed that omega 3's PUFAs have a significant influence on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) consumption (Standardized mean differences −0.52, 95% CI: −0.92 to −0.12, P = 0.01) and pain (Standardized mean differences −0.55, 95% CI: 0.17-0.027, P = 0.57). Hence, consuming omega 3's PUFAs in doses higher than 2/7 daily for more than 3 months effectively reduces consuming NSAIDs in rheumatoid arthritis patients (25). Lee and colleagues conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of omega 3 PUFAs on the clinical results of rheumatoid arthritis patients.…”

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease with numerous side effects. Since long ago, the impact of fish consumption on treating this disease has been of researchers’ interest. Hence, this study aims to examine the relationship between fish consumption and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis through a systematic review and a meta-analysis method. Materials and Methods: For this meta-analysis to reach the research related to the case study, the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, and the Google Scholar search engine were conducted. The data were analyzed using the STATA 14, and the significance level of the tests was P <0.05. Results: There were 2166980 people (20218 cases and 2146762 controls) in this case study, and the age range of the patients was between 18 and 89. The studies were published between 1991 and 2022 and estimated the odds ratio (OR) of fish consumption and rheumatoid arthritis as (OR =0.83; 95% CI: 0.78, 0.89). This measure was (OR =0.79; 95% CI: 0.72, 0.87) in six case-control studies and (OR =0.86; 95% CI: 0.78, 0.94) in 7 cohort studies. In addition, the effect of fish consumption on reducing the rheumatoid arthritis development was more in people who had consumed fish 2 or less than 2 times a week compared to people who consumed fish more than 2 times every week. Conclusion: Fish consumption reduces the rheumatoid arthritis extension; therefore, these patients are advised to include fish in their diet.

Zootherapeutic practices in the Amazon Region: chemical and pharmacological studies of Green-anaconda fat (<em>Eunectes murinus</em>) and alternatives for species conservation

et al. 2021

The treatment of diseases with animal resources or their derivatives is a traditional practice worldwide, representing a wide field of research for the elaboration of strategies of management and conservation of the fauna, and contributing to the search for sustainable therapy alternatives. This study presents the therapeutic applications of animal fats to the treatment of several diseases in Pimenteiras do Oeste, state of Rondônia, Brazil. Twelve animals including: mammals, fishes, reptiles and birds are reported as a source of medicinal lard for the treatment of respiratory illnesses (asthma, flu, bronchitis, cough), rheumatism, and earache and as a healing agent (dislocation and wounds). The ethnopharmacological focus of the study was on Green-anaconda fat (Eunectes murinus), which stands out for its frequent local use and the lack of previous chemical studies. The chemical composition of E. murinus fat was analyzed by gas and liquid chromatography, both coupled to mass spectrometry. The main fatty acids identified were oleic, linoleic and palmitic acids, which were also predominant in the composition of the triglycerides. Pharmacological analysis of Green-anaconda fat showed a significant anti-inflammatory effect, which is related to its use by traditional communities. Having confirmed the pharmacological potential of Green-anaconda fat, its fatty acid composition was used as a parameter in the search for vegetable oils from the Amazon Region with a similar composition. This comparative analysis can be of help by proposing therapeutic alternatives for the Amazonian population. The use of plant sources can contribute to the conservation of the aforementioned species.
