Indices of stress in exercising horses fed diets containing varying amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids

Howard, Alicia Dawn 01 November 2005 (has links)
Dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have shown substantial benefits in humans including lowered serum cholesterol, blood pressure and indices of stress. The caloric and extracaloric benefits of feeding fat supplemented diets to performance horses are well documented (Webb et al., 1987; Meyers et al., 1989; Julen et al., 1995). However, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have not been studied to any great extent. This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of feeding omega-3 fatty acids on indices of stress and serum cholesterol in horses. Nine three- and four-year old horses were assigned to diet treatments according to sex, age and athletic ability. Concentrate diets consisted of: control (A), fatsupplemented diet with corn oil (B) and fat-supplemented diet with extruded/expelled soybean oil (C; N-3). Overall, heart rates were lower in horses fed the fat-supplemented diets compared to the control diet. On reining and cutting exercise days, heart rates were lower (P<.05) in horses fed fat-supplemented diets vs. the control diet. There were no differences (P>.05) in heart rates during exercise on reining and cutting days between horses fed the two fat-supplemented diets. Recovery heart rates following the SET from the end of exercise to 60 minutes recovery (R), were significantly quicker in horses fed diet C. Plasma cortisol concentrations were lowest in horses fed the soy oil-supplemented diet and highest in horses fed the corn oil-supplemented diet. Across treatments, plasma cortisol concentrations during the SET rose due to the onset of exercise and remained significantly higher (P<.05) than baseline during the SET. Serum cholesterol concentrations were higher in horses fed corn oil-supplemented diets than in the control or the soy oil-supplemented diets. There was no significant change (P>.05) in body weight between horses consuming these three diets. However, when compared to consuming diets B and C the horses fed diet A had higher (P<.05) concentrate intakes. There was no significant difference in hay intake (P>.05) between horses consuming the three diets.

Riskfaktorer och bukaorta aneurysm : en beskrivande och korrelerande studie av två årskullar 65-åriga män som genomgått screening av bukaorta.

Åsenlund, Ewa January 2011 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka samband mellan bukaorta aneurysm hos 65-åriga män och riskfaktorer såsom rökning, BMI&gt;25, kosttillskott, hypertoni, hyperlipidemi, ett stillasittande yrke samt hereditet. Kvantitativ ansats med deskriptiv och korrelativ design användes, 3854 65-åriga män från två årskullar som screenats för AAA ingick och uppgifter hämtades från ett dataregister. Resultat: Antalet personer med bukaorta aneurysm var 2,4 %, 65 % var/hade varit rökare, 67 % hade övervikt, 49 % stillasittande arbete, 41 % hypertoni, 25 % hyperlipidemi, 17 % åt kosttillskott och 4 % hade hereditet. Rökning, hypertoni och hyperlipidemi visade signifikant samband med och ökade risken för att utveckla AAA. Störst riskfaktor var rökning. Övriga riskfaktorer visade inte signifikant betydelse. Riskfaktorerna tillsammans förklarade variationen i AAA med 5 %. Konklusion: Tidigare kända riskfaktorers betydelse bekräftades för uppkomst av AAA. För män med AAA ses ett behov av hälsoförebyggande insatser. Sjuksköterskan har ansvar för och kunskaper om preventiva åtgärder, kan och bör därför användas som stöd till män med nyupptäckt AAA.

Associação entre consumo de ácidos graxos ômega 3 e transtorno de ansiedade: análise transversal do Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Adulto (ELSA-Brasil) / Omega 3 consumption and anxiety disorders: a cross-sectional analysis of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil)

Natacci, Lara Cristiane 01 August 2018 (has links)
oucos estudos avaliaram a associação da ingestão de ácidos graxos ômega 3 e transtornos de ansiedade. O presente estudo utilizou dados transversais do exame de linha de base (2008-2010) do Estudo Longitudinal Brasileiro de Saúde do Adulto - ELSA-Brasil para avaliar essa associação. A exposição dietética foi medida por um questionário quantitativo de frequência alimentar validado para a população brasileira e adaptado para o estudo, e os diagnósticos mentais foram avaliados pelo Clinical Interview Schedule-Revised Version - CIS-R, diagnosticando transtornos mentais de acordo com a Classificação Internacional de Doenças - CID-10. Modelos de regressão logística foram construídos utilizando quintis do consumo de ácidos graxos ômega 3, ácidos graxos ômega 6, razão de consumo n-6/n-3, e ácidos graxos poli-insaturados, usando o primeiro quintil como referência. Dos 15.105 sujeitos participantes do ELSA-Brasil, foram excluídos aqueles que relataram ingestão de menos de 500 ou mais de 4000 kcal, aqueles que relataram ingestão de suplementos n-3 ou n-6 e aqueles que foram submetidos a cirurgia bariátrica. Após as exclusões, 12268 participantes permaneceram na análise, dos quais 1893 (15,4%) apresentaram transtornos de ansiedade. Os indivíduos com transtorno de ansiedade eram mais jovens, de sexo feminino, menor escolaridade e renda, referiram tabagismo atual e atividade física mais leve. Valores mais altos de IMC e de proteína C reativa de alta sensibilidade foram observados nos indivíduos com ansiedade. A ingestão diária média de ácido eicosapentaenoico (EPA), ácido docosapentanoico (DPA) e ácido docosaexaenoico (DHA) foi significativamente menor em participantes com ansiedade. Um maior consumo desses três ácidos graxos da família ômega-3 foi observado em indivíduos com mais idade, maior renda e escolaridade, com dislipidemia, consumo de álcool e tabagismo atuais, e prática de atividade física vigorosa. Após o ajuste para variáveis sociodemográficas (idade, sexo, etnia e educação) fatores de risco cardiovascular (hipertensão, diabetes, dislipidemia, tabagismo, ingestão de álcool e atividade física), calorias totais, qualidade da dieta e depressão, os participantes do quinto quintil de ingestão de EPA, DHA e DPA mostraram associação inversa com transtornos de ansiedade: OR 0,82 (IC 95%, 0,69-0,98), OR 0,83 (IC 95%, 0,69-0,98) e OR 0,82 (IC 95%, 0,69-0,98), respectivamente. Participantes no quinto quintil de razão ômega-6/ômega-3 tiveram associação positiva com transtornos de ansiedade. Nenhuma associação foi encontrada com a ingestão de PUFA, ou ômega-3 e ômega-6 isoladamente com ansiedade após os ajustes. Nesta análise, uma alta ingestão de ômega-3 EPA, DHA e DPA foi inversamente associada com a presença de transtornos de ansiedade, enquanto que a alta razão ômega-6/ômega-3 foi diretamente associada à presença desses transtornos, sugerindo um possível efeito protetor dos ácidos graxos omega-3 EPA, DPA e DHA contra a ansiedade / Few studies have evaluated the association of omega-3 fatty acids intake and anxiety disorders. The present study used cross-sectional data from the baseline (2008-2010) examination of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health - ELSA-Brazil to evaluate this association. The dietary exposure was measured by a quantitative food frequency questionnaire validated for the brazilian population and adapted for the study, and the mental diagnoses were assessed by the Clinical Interview Schedule-Revised Version (CIS-R), diagnosing mental disorders according to the International Classification of Diseases - ICD-10. Logistic regression models were built using quintiles of omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, omega-6/omega-3 ratio, and polyunsaturated fatty acids consumption, using the first quintile as a reference. Of the 15,105 subjects participating in ELSA-Brazil, those who reported ingestion of less than 500 or more than 4000 kcal, those who reported ingestion of omega-3 or omega-6 supplements and those had undergone bariatric surgery were excluded. After exclusions, 12,268 participants remained in the analysis, of whom 1893 (15.4%) had anxiety disorders. Subjects with anxiety disorder were younger, female, had lower education and income, reported current smoking and mild physical activity. Higher values of BMI and high sensibility C reactive protein were observed in subjects with anxiety. The mean daily intakes of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were significantly lower in subjects with anxiety. A higher intake of these three omega-3 fatty acids was observed in older individuals with higher income and education, with current dyslipidemias, alcohol consumption and smoking, and vigorous physical activity. After adjustment for socio-demographic variables (age, sex, ethnicity and education), cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking, alcohol intake and physical activity), total calories, diet quality and depression, EPA, DHA and DPA intakes showed an inverse association with anxiety disorders: OR 0.82 (95% CI, 0.69-0.98), OR 0.83 (95% CI, 0.69-0.98) and OR 0.82 (95% CI, 0.69-0.98), respectively. Participants in the fifth quintile of omega-6/omega-3 ratio had a positive association with anxiety disorders. No association was found with ingestion of PUFA, or omega-3 and omega-6 alone with anxiety after adjustments. In this analysis, a high intake of omega-3 EPA, DHA and DPA was inversely associated with the presence of anxiety disorders, while the higher omega-6 omega-3 ratio was directly associated with the presence of these disorders, suggesting a possible protector effect of omega-3 fatty acids EPA, DPA and DHA against anxiety
