- UNSATURATED FATS, Such As Those Found in Oily Fish, NUTS, SEEDS, AVOCADOS, AND OLIVE OIL, ARE RECOMMENDED AS PART OF A HEALTHFUL DIET.
- Studies have linked before Fatty Acids to reduced Levels of Inflammation and Lowered LDL (‘Bad’) Cholesterol.
- However, a New Study Suggests That Bath Omega-3 and Omega-6 PolyunSaturated Fatty Acids (Puas) are Linked to Increased Levels of Soming Inflammatory Markers in the Blood.
Oily Fish, Nuts, Seeds, Avocados, and Olive Oil are All Advocated as part of a healthful diet, Mostly Becouse of their High Concentrations of Unsaturated Fatty Acids. Studies Suggest that Unsaturated Fatty Acids, particularly
However, a New Study has suggested that polyunsatured fatty acids may active increases Levels of Sub -inflammatory Biomarkers in the Blood Plasma.
The Research, which is published in the international journal of epidemiology, Found that bust omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) were associated with raised levels of
Links to inflammatory biomarkers in the Blood
The Refers Carried Out Their Primary Analysis On 2,802 Participants from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) Birth Cohort, which recruited to Total of 14, 541 pregnant women resing in Southwest England in 1991 and 1992, and have follow Offspring Since then. They replicated their analyysis using Data from 12,401 participants in the uk biobank.
“Using Two Large Datasets, Alspac and the UK Biobank, Along with a Genetic Technique Called Mendelian Randomization, The Researchers Examined Whether The Powerful Because It Helps Minimize The usual Confounding Facts Found in Nutrition Studies, Such As Lifestyle or Other Dietary Habits. Directly responsible. “
-Thomas M. Holland, MD, MS, Physician-Scientist and Assistant Professor at The Rush Institute for Healthy Aging, Rush University, College of Health Sciences, Chicago, Who Was Not Involved in the Study.
The Researchers Asseted The Alspac Offspring After 24 Years. In Their Analysis, They Controlled for Household Social Class AT Birth, Maternal Highest Education Qualification at Birth, Maternal and Paternal Smoking status during pregnancy, offspring sex at Birth, type of drinker at age 24, Type of Smoker at 24, and AT AGE INTE in MOUCH 24-YEAR CLINIC.
Daisy Crick, Corresponding Author, Institute for Molecular Bioscience, Queensland University, Australia, and MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit, The University of Queesland, Australia, Explained Their Research:
“Dietary Fatty Acids Were Measured Using Levels of Dha, Total Omega-3 La, Total Omega-6, and The Omega-6: Omega-3 Ratio Found in the Blood. Inflammation was Measured Using Substances in The Blood Called Biomarkers and Specifically We used the biomarkers (CRP), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and glycoprotein acetyls (Glyca). ”
Can omega-3s be inflammatory?
The Researchers Found That in Both Cohorts, Both Omega-3 and Omega-6 Levels Were Associated With Higher Levels of Glyca.
Holland Told Medical News Today:
“Surprisingly, The Results Showed That BoTh Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids Were Associated With Higher Levels of A Marker Called Glyca (A Novel Inflamatory Marker), Which Reflects Low-Grade Chronic Inflammation. Omega-3s, which are Widely promoted as anti-inflammatory. ”
“Omega-3s are Found in Dark Fatty Fish, Like Salmon and Sardines, and in Plant-Based Foods Like Flaxseeds, Chia Seeds, and Walnuts. Most People Think of Them as Calming to The Immune System. Yet in This Study, Higher Omega-3 Levels Were Linked To More inflammation, not less, at least when glyca was used as the measurement, ”I have added.
Omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio could be key
In The Alspac Cohort, There Was A Consistency Association Between A Higher Omega-6: Omega-3 Ratio and All Three Inflamatory Biomarkers.
HOLLAND TOLED US THAT THIS RATO IS INFFLUED BY OUR CHANGED DIET:
“This (Finding) supports Earlier Findings That’s Not Just About Howa-3 You Consume; It’s About How Balanced Your Overall Istake Is. In Fact, Research Highlights How Ratio has shifted dramatically in Recent History. A Century ago, People Typical consumed 4: 1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3. Disorders. “
“Our Findings suggest that it’s not as simple as ‘omega-3 is anti-inflammatory, and omega-6 is pro-inflammatory’. More useful to look at the balance or ratio Between omega-6 and omega-3 in the diet.

The Link Between Fatty Acids and Health is Complex
Although The Study Found An Association Between Pufas and Sub of the 3 Biomarkers, The Authors Emphasize That Different Biomarkers Measure Different Aspects of Inflammation, So by Assessing Only 3 Biomarkers, They May have missed Further Research Using Additional Biomarkers is Needed to Better Understand The Relationship Between Pufas and Inflammation.
Holland Told MNT that before findings should to further research:
“It is important to remember that the study measured just three inflammatory markers. The immune system is incredibly complex, and omega fatty acids might influencerty influence other pathways that weren’t captured here. INFLAMMATION OR PROTECT AGAINST SPECHIFIES, EVEN IF them RAISE GLYCA SLIGHTLY.
So Limitation, The Findings Highlight that there may be more to the Relationship Between Fatty Acids and Health Than Previous Though.
“The Relationship Between Fatty acids and inflammation is complex and Our Findings Only Tell Part of the Story. Altchoch We Show Thatga Omega-3 Fats Are Associated With Increases In Sum Biomarkers of Inflammation, It Does Not Rule Out Other oter OTher Potential beneficial Fatty Acids in the Diet. “
