However , subgroup and meta-regression analysis suggested that in subjects with a more profound increase of dietary LA intake , LA might increase the blood CRP level .
Other acute phase reactants including fibrinogen and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and adhesion molecules were not significantly changed when LA was increased in diet .
Our meta- analysis suggested that increasing dietary LA intake does not have a significant effect on the blood concentrations of inflammatory markers .
However , the extent of change in dietary LA intake might affect the effect of LA supplementation on CRP
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of increasing dietary linoleic acid ( LA ) intake on the blood concentrations of inflammatory markers including cytokines , acute phase reactants and adhesion molecules in adults .
Plant and marine derived (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids do not affect blood coagulation and fibrinolytic factors in moderately hyperlipidemic humans.
Dietary alpha-linolenic acid ( ALA ) can be converted to long-chain ( n-3 ) PUFA in humans and may potentially reproduce the beneficial effects of eicosapentaenoic ( EPA ) and docosahexaenoic ( DHA ) acids on risk factors for coronary heart disease ( CHD ) . This study compared the effects of increased intakes of ALA with those of dietary EPA and DHA on blood coagulation and fibrinolytic factors in fasting subjects . A placebo-controlled , parallel study was conducted in 150 moderately hyperlipidemic subjects , age 25 - 72 y. Subjects were r and omly assigned to one of five interventions and consumed a total intake of 0.8 or 1.7g/d EPA+DHA , 4.5 or 9.5g/d ALA or control ( linoleic acid ; LA ) for 6 mo . Fatty acids were incorporated into 25 g of fat spread , which replaced the subject 's normal spread and three capsules . Long-term supplementation with either dietary EPA+DHA or estimated biologically equivalent amounts of ALA did not affect factors VIIa , VIIc , VIIag , XIIa , XIIag , fibrinogen concentrations , plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 or tissue plasminogen activator activity compared with the control . ( n-3 ) PUFA of plant or marine origin do not differ from one another or from LA in their effect on a range of blood coagulation and fibrinolytic factors
