5 J Nutr. 128: 427S 433S, EPA DHA The effect of dietary level of a-linolenic acid (18:3v3) on the content of its metabolites in liver lipids.

6 ARA Left panel: Suppression of the metabolism of 0.6% of dietary calories of 18:2v6 by increasing levels of dietary 18:3v3, as measured in liver lipids. Right panel: Suppression of the metabolism of 1% of calories of 18:3v3 by increasing levels of dietary 18:2v6 as indicated by changes in liver fatty acids.

8 nelle Quale rapporto ottimale omega6/omega3? Nel corso dell evoluzione circa 1 Oggi nelle diete occidentale circa 15:1 Consigliato da 10:1 a 5:1 ( età evolutiva) Forse ottimale da 3:1 a 5:1

9 LA FISIOPATOLOGIA

10 P Calder et al

11 Fatty acids and eicosanoids are peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) ligands Hwang D

12 P Calder et al

13 Mazurak V et al randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial provided children, (ages 5 7 years; n¼37) who had low intakes of DHA, with a dietary supplement containing AA (20 30mg daily) and DHA (14 21mg daily) or a placebo supplement for 7 months. Unstimulated (US), b-lactoglobulin (BLG), ibuprofen (IB) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition 2008; 46:570

14 Miles BA et al A systematic review included 23 studies. Evidence is seen for a fairly consistent, but modest, benefit of marine n-3 PUFAs on joint swelling and pain, duration of morning stiffness, global assessments of pain and disease activity, and use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs..

17 n-3 PUFA enhance hepatic fatty acid oxidation and inhibit fatty acid synthesis and VLDL secretion by regulating gene expression PUFA (DHA) control of hepatic metabolic processes Chem Phys Lipids 2008;153:3-13

18 LA GENETICA

19 Ameur A et al

20 Haplotype D is associated with increased FADS activity. Intriguingly, the distance between FADS1 and FADS2 has been reduced (through a deletion) from over 75 kb in monkeys to only 11 kb in humans. This deletion brought the promoters of FADS1and FADS2 closer to each other, with a resulting coordinated regulation of FADS expression.

21 DIFFERENT RESULTS WITH LCPUFA trials Different capacity of endogenous synthesis based on individual genetic background

22

23 Glaser C, Maternal and Child Nutr 2011; 7(S2): 27 FADS3 function not characterized

24 No association was found between genetic variants and DHA variance, which would support the concept that little DHA is synthesized endogenously, and DHA serum concentrations are primarily determined by the dietary supply of preformed DHA from fish and other sources. The effect size of SNPs was very high: genetic variants explained as much as 28.5% of the variation in serum AA contents in this cohort of free-living individuals with considerable variation in lifestyle and dietary habits. The reconstructed haplotypes predicted some 12% and 10% of the variation of the AA precursors Glaser C et al, Maternal and Child Nutrition 2011;7 (Suppl 2): 27

29 Association between breastfeeding and IQ moderated by the genetic polymorphism Rs in the FADS2 gene in 2 independent birth cohorts. BF children carrying the C allele showed an IQ point advantage an IQ advantage relative to those not BF. Breastfeeding had no effect on IQ of GG homozygotes. Caspi A, PNAS 2007; 104:18860

30 Steer CD, Plos One 2010;5:e11570 In contrast to Caspi study, GG children exhibited the greatest difference between feeding methods. Breastfed children performed similarly irrespective of child genotype whereas formula fed GG children performed worse than other children on formula milk.

La quota e composizione degli omega 3 dipende più di altri acidi grassi dalla dieta La quota degli omega 3 ( DHA) si associa allo sviluppo strutturale e funzionale degli organi a maggiore componente lipidica (fegato, sistema nervoso centrale) Il bilancio tra omega3 ed omega6 è un elemento regolatore di processi infiammatori ed immunitari Fabbisogni ed effetti sono significativamente associati alla componente genetica
