n−3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids, inflammation, and inflammatory diseases

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
At sufficiently high intakes, long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), as found in oily fish and fish oils, decrease the production of inflammatory eicosanoids, cytokines, and reactive oxygen species and the expression of adhesion molecules, and are potentially potent antiinflammatory agents.

ESPEN Guidelines on Parenteral Nutrition: intensive care.

TL;DR: The authors will present not only the evidence available regarding the indications for PN, its implementation, the energy required, its possible complementary use with enteral nutrition, but also the relative importance of the macro- and micronutrients in the formula proposed for the critically ill patient.

From Stress to Inflammation and Major Depressive Disorder: A Social Signal Transduction Theory of Depression

TL;DR: A biologically plausible, multilevel theory is proposed that describes neural, physiologic, molecular, and genomic mechanisms that link experiences of social-environmental stress with internal biological processes that drive depression pathogenesis and may shed light on several important questions including how depression develops, why it frequently recurs, and why it is strongly predicted by early life stress.

Scientific Opinion on Dietary Reference Values for fats, including saturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, trans fatty acids, and cholesterol

Efsa Publication
- 25 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: This Opinion of the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition, and Allergies (NDA) deals with the setting of Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) for fats and it was decided not to propose a reference value beside the limitation on the intake of SFA.

Omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and inflammatory processes: nutrition or pharmacology?

TL;DR: Animal models demonstrate benefit from n-3 fatty acids in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and asthma, and clinical trails of fish oil in patients with IBD and asthma are inconsistent with no overall clear evidence of efficacy.

Fatty acids from fish: the anti-inflammatory potential of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids

TL;DR: Research has shown that reductions may be achieved in the incidence of many chronic diseases that involve inflammatory processes; most notably, these include cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis, but psychiatric and neurodegenerative illnesses are other examples.

Atherosclerosis — An Inflammatory Disease

TL;DR: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease as discussed by the authors, and it is a major cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia, despite changes in lifestyle and use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations.

Definitions for Sepsis and Organ Failure and Guidelines for the Use of Innovative Therapies in Sepsis

TL;DR: An American College of Chest Physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine Consensus Conference was held in Northbrook in August 1991 with the goal of agreeing on a set of definitions that could be applied to patients with sepsis and its sequelae as mentioned in this paper.

Atherosclerosis is an Inflammatory Disease

TL;DR: Despite changes in lifestyle and the use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations, cardiovascular disease continues to be the principal cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia.

Atherosclerosis: The Road Ahead

TL;DR: Elevated levels of serum cholesterol are probably unique through the hepatic LDL receptor pathway, as evi-in being sufficient to drive the development of athero-denced by the fact that lack of functional LDL receptors sclerosis in humans and experimental animals, even in is responsible for the massive accumulation of LDL in the absence of other known risk factors.
