The recognition that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) possess potent anti-inflammatory properties in human models has prompted studies investigating their efficacy for animal growth and immunity. This study examined the effect of feeding an n-3 PUFA-enriched diet on growth and immune response of weanling piglets. Newly weaned pigs (averaging $27{\pm}2$ days of age and $8.1{\pm}0.7kg$ of body weight) were assigned randomly to receive a control (3% vegetable oil, n = 20) or n-3 PUFA-supplemented (3% marine n-3 PUFA, n = 20) diet for 28 day after weaning. Female pigs consuming the n-3 PUFA-enriched diet were lighter at week 4 post-weaning than those fed the vegetable oil supplement. Weanling pigs gained more weight, consumed more feed and had better growth to feed ratios between days 14 and 28 than between days 0 and 14 post-weaning. Plasma insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) decreased between days 0 ($87.2{\pm}17.0ng/mL$) and 14 ($68.3{\pm}21.1ng/mL$) after weaning and then increased again by day 28 ($155.2{\pm}20.9ng/mL$). In piglets consuming the vegetable oil-enriched diet, plasma tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$) increased from $37.6{\pm}14.5$ to $102.9{\pm}16.6pg/mL$ between days 0 and 14 post-weaning and remained high through day 28 ($99.0{\pm}17.2pg/mL$). The TNF-${\alpha}$ increase detected in the piglets fed vegetable oil was not observed in the piglets fed n-3 PUFA. Results indicate that weaning induces considerable immune stress in piglets and that this stress can be mitigated by dietary supplementation of n-3 PUFA.

꽁치의 가식부를 가정에서 쓰이고 있는 조리방법 (pan frying, deep fat frying, steaming, microwave cooking)으로 조리를 한 후에 지방산 조성의 변화를 알아보았다. 꽁치의 총지방질 함량은 $21.87%{\sim}30.63%$로 개체마다 차이가 있었지만, 지방산 조성 (평균값)은 $C_{22:1}\;(21.75%)>C_{20:1}\;(15.81%)>C_{16:0}\;(11.75%)>C_{22:6}\;(DHA,\;10.61%)>C_{14:0}\;(7.04%)>C_{20:5}\;(EPA,\;5.13%)$ 등의 순으로 주요 지방산을 구성하고 있었다. SFA에 대한 PUFA의 조성비는 1.07이었고, n-6 계열 PUFA에 대한 n-3 계열 PUFA의 조성비는 9.15로 꽁치는 n-3 계열 PUFA의 주요 공급원임을 보여 주었다. 조리를 한 후, 대표적인 n-3 계열 PUFA인 EPA와 DHA의 조성비 변화를 살펴보면 EPA는 pan frying한 후에는 6.98%, deep fat frying한 후에는 26.93%, steaming한 후에는 1.16%, microwave cooking한 후에는 15.12% 감소하였다. DHA역시 pan frying한 후에는 4.30%, deep fat frying한 후에는 15.99%, steaming한 후에는 3.26%, microwave cooking한 후에는 9.56% 감소하였다. 본 실험 결과 steaming 조리한 경우에서 EPA와 DHA 모두 가장 적은 감소율을 나타내었고, pan frying, microwave cooking, deep fat frying 순으로 감소율이 커졌다.

The effects of dietary n-3 fatty acids, ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid (18:3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6), on brain phospholipid content and fatty acid composition were compared in rats fed with a diet containing constant ratios of saturated fatty acid/monounsaturated fatty acid/polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and n-3/n-6. The dietary fat in each diet was added at the level of 10%. In each diet, n-3 PUFA comprised two-thirds of the PUFA and the remaining one-third was linoleic acid (18:2). Dietary fat containing linoleic acid as the sole source of PUFA was also given to the control group. The content of brain phospholipid in the three n-3 PUFA groups was significantly lower than that of the linoleic acid group. This reduction was greater in the EPA and DHA groups than in the ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid group. The decrease in phospholipid content in rats fed n-3 fatty acid-rich diets was largely due to the decrease in the phosphatidylethanolamine fraction. Each dietary n-3 PUFA was found to affect the fatty acid composition of brain phospholipids; the most pronounced alteration was observed in phosphatidylethanolamine fraction. Furthermore, the proportion of DHA in the phosphatidylethanolamine fraction tended to be higher in the DHA group than in other PUFA groups. In conclusion, dietary ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid, EPA and DHA can influence the phospholipid content, phospholipid subclass, and fatty acid composition in rat brain.

Monthly changes in the proximate and fatty acid compositions of chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) muscle during cultivation from October 2007 to September 2008 were investigated. The lipid content increased gradually from the first stage of cultivation until March 2008 and then dramatically until May, before decreasing. The highest lipid content during cultivation was 21.6% in May, just before the fish spawns. There was a negative correlation (y=-1.1585x+87.741, $R^2$=0.9495) between the lipid and moisture contents during cultivation of chub mackerel. By contrast, the protein ($18.6{\pm}1.05%$) and ash ($1.18{\pm}0.11%$) contents were essentially unchanged during cultivation. Prominent fatty acids in chub mackerel muscle were 16:0, 18:0, 14:0 saturates, 18:1n-9, 16:1n-7, 18:1n-7 monoenes, and 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid, DHA), 20:5n-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA), and 18:2n-6 polyenes. The percentages of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), such as DHA and EPA, were higher during three months in the early stage of cultivation than they were subsequently. However, the PUFA (DHA+EPA) content (in mg/100 g of muscle) was lower in the early stage (740-796 mg/100 g muscle) than in the other stages. The highest PUFA (DHA+EPA) content was from April to May (2,749-2751 mg/100 g muscle). The PUFA content was positively correlated with the total lipid content of chub mackerel muscle during cultivation. The results indicate that cultured chub mackerel is a very good source of n-3 PUFA, such as DHA and EPA.

In order to observe the effects of the feeds mixed with the lard and two vegetable seed oils on the fatty acid compositions of serum lipkid and lipoprotein, the oils mixed with 2.5% lard and various levels of perilla oil and evening promrose oil were administered to the male rats of the Sprague-DAwley for 4 weeks. In the fatty acid compositions of serum lipid and serum lipoprotein fractions, as the content so f mixed perilla oil decreased and the contents of mixed evening primrose oil increased, n -3 PUFa (polyunsaturated fatty acid) contents and ratio of EPA/AA (eicisapentaenoiidacid/arachidonic acid) tended to decrease, but n-6 PUFA contents and ratio of AA/PUFA tended to increase. Fatty acid compositions of serum lipid and serum lipoprotein fractions were influenced from the fatty acid composition of the test lipids.

The prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) continues to rise in industrialized countries related to Western lifestyle, including dietary habits, especially imbalance of intake of dietary fatty acids. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dietary fatty acids and the assess the blood fatty acid composition and immune parameters in AD patients. AD (n = 50) patients and gender ${\cdot}$ age matched healthy controls (HC) were studied in case-control clinical trail. Current fatty acids intake status was determined by 3-day food record method. Blood sample were collected from 30 subjects in each group and blood fatty acid composition and immune parameters were analysed. AD patients consumed less PUFA and their n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio was higher than that of HC. Both the ratios of PUFA and MUFA were positively correlated with SCORAD in AD patients (p < 0.05). In the AD patients, there were abnormalities in the fatty acid composition of the RBC and WBC, SFA being significantly high and most n-3 PUFA being significantly low. Moreover, both the ratios of EPA and DHA in WBC were negatively correlated with dietary n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio in AD patients (p < 0.05). Serum total IgE and IL-4 levels of AD patients increased significantly compared with the levels of HC (p < 0.01). Ratios of monocyte and eosinophil in WBC of AD patients increased significantly compared with the levels of HC including total WBC count (p < 0.01), and ratios of Iymphocyte and basophil in WBC of AD patients decreased significantly compared with the levels of HC (p < 0.05). Moreover, the ratios of eosinophil in WBC were positively correlated with dietary P/M ratio (p < 0.05), and the ratios of monocyte in WBC were positively correlated with n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio (p < 0.05) in AD patients. This results indicated that AD patients had significantly high intake of dietary n-6/n-3 PUFA compared with HC. Imbalance of intake of dietary fatty acids affected fatty acid compositions in the RBC and WBC, and these lead to immune imbalance and grow worse of AD.

Sprague Dawley 종 수컷쥐(체중 약 450kg) 48마리를 3군으로 나누어 종류가 다른 불포화지방산으로 구성된 실험식이를 6주간 투여하였다. 이때 지방을 15%(W/W)로, 불포화지방산인 n6 linoleic acid의 급원으로는 옥수수기름, n3 $\alpha$-linolenic acid의 급원으로는 들기름, n3 EPA와 DHA의 급원으로는 생선유를 투여하되, 포화지방산과 monoenoic acid의 총량을 거의 같게 공급하여 불포화지방산의 영향만을 관찰할 수 있도록 하였다. 어유를 투여한 군의 cholesterol과 HDL-chol양은 옥수수기름과 들기름을 투여한 군에 비해 유의성있게 낮았으며, 불포화지방산의 혈장 cholesterol을 저하시키는 능력은 n3 EPA+n3계 불포화지방산군인 어유와 들기름군이 n6계 불포화지방산군인 옥수수기름군에 비해 유의성있게 더 컸다. Lipoprotein의 상대적인 함량은 식이 불포화지방산의 종류에 의해 영향을 받지 않았으며, 혈장과 적혈구 및 간의 토로페롤 수준은 유사한 수준이었으며 과산화산물 활성은 지방산의 불포화도 정도에 비례하여 증가되었으며 SOD활성의 증가로 인해 간조직의 과산화물의 수준이 감소되었다.

Fatty acids such as n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are critical nutrients, used to improve male reproductive performance through modification of fatty acid profile and maintenance of sperm membrane integrity, especially under cold shock or cryopreservation condition. Also, PUFA provide the precursors for prostaglandin synthesis and can modulate the expression patterns of many key enzymes involved in both prostaglandin and steroid metabolism. Many studies carried out on diets supplemented with PUFA have demonstrated their capability to sustain sperm motility, viability and fertility during chilling and freezing as well as improving testis development and spermatogenesis in a variety of livestock species. In addition to the type and quantity of dietary fatty acids, ways of addition of PUFA to diet or semen extender is very crucial as it has different effects on semen quality in male ruminants. Limitation of PUFA added to ruminant ration is due to biohydrogenation by rumen microorganisms, which causes conversion of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids, leading to loss of PUFA quantity. Thus, many strategies for protecting PUFA from biohydrogenation in rumen have been developed over the years. This paper reviews four aspects of PUFA in light of previous research including rumen metabolism, biological roles, influence on reproduction, and strategies to use in male ruminants.
