Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
EPA and DHA-oxylylins in plasma at baseline and at 7 different time points (2, 4, 6, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours) after consumption of the test product. EPA-metabolites: Resolvin E1, PGE3, PGD3, 5-HEPE, 8-HEPE, 12-HEPE, 15-HEPE, 8(9) -EpETE, 11(12) -EpETE, 14(15) -EpETE, 17(18) -EpETE, 5,6-diHETE, 5,15-diHETE, 8,9-diHETE, 8,15-diHETE, 11,12-diHETE, 14,15-diHETE, 17,18-diHETE DHA-metabolites: 10(11) -EpDPE, 13(14) -EpDPE, 16(17) -EpDPE, 19(20) -EpDPE, 4,5-DiHDPE, 7,8- DiHDPE, 10,11-DiHDPE, 13,14-diHDPE, 16,17-diHDPE, 19,20-diHDPE

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Further oxylipins (i.a. LA-, AA-, DGLA-, ALA-metabolites) in plasma at baseline and at 7 different time points (2, 4, 6, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours) after consumption of the test product. LA-metabolites: THF diol, EKODE, 13-HODE, 9-HODE, 13-oxo-ODE, 9-oxo-ODE, 9,10-DiHOME, 12,13-DiHOME, 9(10)-EpOME, 12(13)-EpOME, 9,12,13-TriHOME, 9,10,13-TriHOME, DGLA metabolites: 15(S)-HETrE, PGE1, PGD1 AA-metabolites: 6-keto-PGF1a, 20-COOH-LTB4, 20-OH-LTB4, TXB2, LXA4, 11,12-,15-TriHETrE, PGF2a, PGE2, PGD2, PGJ2, PGB2, 15-deoxy-PGJ2, 6-trans-LTB4, LTB5, LTB4, LTB3, 5-HETE, 8-HETE, 9-HETE, 11-HETE, 12-HETE, 15-HETE, 20-HETE, 5-oxo-ETE, 15-oxo-ETE, 5(6)-EpETrE, 8(9)-EpETrE, 11(12)-EpETrE, 14(15)-EpETrE, 5,6-DiHETrE, 8,9-DiHETrE, 11,12-DiHETrE, 14,15-DiHETrE ALA metabolites: 9-HOTrE, 13-HOTrE, 9(10)-EpODE, 12(13)-EpODE, 15(16)-EpODE, 9,10-DiHODE, 12,13-DiHODE, 15,16-DiHODE Furthermore, the profiles of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are determined (eg LA, AA, DPA, DGLA, ALA, EPA, DHA) at baseline and at 7 different time points (2, 4, 6, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours) after consumption of the test product. This should be examined in various blood compartments (total plasma, erythrocyte membranes, free fatty acids, phospholipids, triglycerides, cholesterol esters). The serum lipids (LDL-, HDL-, total cholesterol, triglycerides) are to be determined at the baseline, as well as various SNPs of the fatty acid and oxylipine metabolism (FADS1, FADS2, FADS3, ELOVL2, CYP2J2, EPHX2 and GCKR). A small blood count is also recorded at baseline. The liver enzymes AST, ALT, ?GT are determined 24 hours after consumption of the test product.
