The aim of this thesis was to verify the hypothesis implying that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids inhibit the development of mild chronic inflammation. The experiment was conducted on rats with different diets (control, with the addition of safflower oils, fish oils and oils from algae Schizochytrium). For processing the results of the collected tissues was used determination of expression of selected genes by qRT-PCR, detection of proteins and in the cytosol and nuclear fractions by Western blot and the quantification of cytokines by ELISA. Feeding oil from algae Schizochytrium has led to lowering the final weight and blood glucose, further to enhance expression of PPAR-gama and increasing the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-beta1. In kontrast, no difference was observed in the expression of GPR120 and adiponectin receptors or proteins in an amount of NF-kappaB and PPAR-gama between diets. Elevated plasma levels of adiponectin were found. The results of the experiment shows that it is possible to recommend oil from algae Schizochytrium as a useful supplement of human diet as prevention of chronic degenerative diseases.
