ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The beneficial effects of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in cardiovascular disease are partly attributed to their anti-inflammatory properties. Their potential effect on the adipose tissue of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients has never been explored.METHODS:
To determine the metabolic effect of supplementation with two different doses of fish oil (FO), 12 non-dialyzed patients with stage IV/V CKD were randomly allocated to receive 1.8 g or 3.6 g/d of ω-3 PUFA for 10 wk. Metabolic parameters, adipose tissue function, and gene expression were evaluated at baseline and 10 wk.RESULTS:
Body weight, fat mass, energy intake, fasting glucose, and insulin were unchanged. The daily intake of 3.6 g of ω-3 PUFA resulted in decreased serum triacylglycerol and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, whereas low-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased with 1.8 g of ω-3 PUFA. Serum adiponectin, leptin, C-reactive protein, and tumor necrosis factor-α were not modified in either group. Interleukin-6 levels tended to decrease with 1.8 g of ω-3 PUFA. Additionally, a subset of inflammation-related genes (CD68 and MMP9) was reduced in subcutaneous adipose tissue in this group. Adiponectin, leptin, and adipoR2 gene expression were upregulated with 3.6 g of ω-3 PUFA.CONCLUSIONS:
A moderate dose of FO alters the gene expression profile of adipose tissue to a more antiinflammatory status. Higher doses of FO have a favorable effect on lipid profile and lead to the upregulation of adipokines gene expression suggesting a different dose response to ω-3 PUFA administration in patients with CKD.
