RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Little is known about the effect of various dietary fatty acids on pro- and anti-inflammatory processes. We investigated the effect of 5 oils containing various amounts of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), linoleic acid (LA), oleic acid (OA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on plasma inflammatory biomarkers and expression levels of key inflammatory genes and transcription factors in whole blood cells. METHODS AND RESULTS: In a randomized, crossover controlled nutrition intervention, 114 adult men and women with abdominal obesity and at least one other criterion for the metabolic syndrome consumed 5 experimental isoenergetic diets for 4 weeks each, separated by 4-week washout periods. Each diet provided 60 g/3000 kcal of different oils: 1) control corn/safflower oil blend (CornSaff; LA-rich), 2) flax/safflower oil blend (FlaxSaff; ALA-rich), 3) conventional canola oil (Canola; OA-rich), 4) high oleic canola oil (CanolaOleic; highest OA content), 5) DHA-enriched high oleic canola oil (CanolaDHA; OA- and DHA-rich). Gene expression in whole blood cells was assessed in a subset of 62 subjects. CanolaDHA increased plasma adiponectin concentrations compared with the control CornSaff oil treatment (+4.5%, P = 0.04) and FlaxSaff (+6.9%, P = 0.0008). CanolaDHA also reduced relative expression levels of interleukin (IL)1B compared with CornSaff and Canola (-11% and -13%, respectively, both P = 0.03). High-sensitivity C-reactive protein concentrations were lower after Canola than after FlaxSaff (-17.8%, P = 0.047). CONCLUSION: DHA-enriched canola oil exerts anti-inflammatory effects compared with polyunsaturated fatty acids from plant sources.

A new bifunctional chelating agent with a novel linking arm, 2-[p-¿N-benzyl-N-(2-vinylsulfoethyl)¿- (aminobenzyl)¿-1,3-propane-diamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (VS-PDTA) was synthesized and was conjugated to protein for the purpose of attaching radiometals to monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). The effect of various parameters such as ligand concentration, protein concentration, pH, temperature and reaction period on the conjugation have been examined using chromatographic (SE and TLC) analysis after labeling with 111In. The parameters and chemical variables studied have significant effects on the efficiency and rate of protein conjugation.

The conjugation of radiometals to monoclonal antibodies results in agents for radioimmunoimaging and other medical applications. Due to remarkable ability to form stable metal complexes with a great number of metal ions in different oxidation states, polyaminocarboxylate chelates are useful tools for this purpose. Bifunctional chelators that can hold radiometals with high stability under physiological conditions are essential to avoid radiation damage to non-target organs. We have synthesized a new bifunctional chelate 2-(p-aminobenzyl)-1,3-propylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid by a simple method and studied the rate of loss of radioactivity from the radiolabeled (111In, 90Y) chelates to serum proteins in human serum at 37 degrees C. The relative stability constant of this new bifunctional chelate was found to be very similar to the underivated form. This chelate was conjugated to murine monoclonal antibody (B43) and immunoreactivity of the conjugated was determined by competitive binding analysis, which showed no significant change in its immunological activity. Biodistribution of the 111In radioconjugate was examined in conventional Balb/c and tumor-bearing (-OVCAR-3) athymic Balb/c mice.
