Plasma phospholipid n6 PUFA was drastically positively associated with plasma homocysteine in vegetarians [19], diabetes sufferers [20] and common population [24]. In certainly one of these studies, nonetheless, n6 PUFA was not linked with plasma homocysteine in omnivores [19]. Given restricted epidemiologic proof and lack of plausible biological mechanism supporting a part of n6 PUFAs in homocysteine metabolism, additional experimental and human research are required on this concern. Inside the present study, homocysteine concentrations were substantially connected with phospholipid DHA but not with CE DHA, a getting for which we’ve got no plausible explanation. Nevertheless, this might be attributable towards the reality that CE DHA had a much decrease imply and smaller variation than did phospholipid DHA (imply, 1.two versus 7.6 ; SD, 0.4 versus 1.7 ). As a consequence of such a modest proportion of DHA in CE, it will be tough to distinguish persons in high DHA status from those in low status with information on serum CE fatty acids, leading to a low probabi.
