2 Protein Lipids Lipids?

3 Lipids Energy source/storage 9 Kcal/g Carb.& Prot. 4 Kcal/g Membrane Function glycero-phospholipids Steroid hormones (estrogen, testosterone, cortisol) Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K)

4 Lipids Cell Signaling G protein-coupled, sphingosine-1-phosphate, diacylglycerol (DAG), phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs)..

5 Fatty Acids & Inflammation

6 Inflammatory Mediators A variety of chemical mediators from inflammatory cells, and injured tissue actively contribute to and adjust the inflammatory response. The released mediators include (1) vasoactive amines histamine & serotonin (2) peptide (e.g., bradykinin), and (3) eicosanoids (Fatty Acid driven) (e.g., Thromboxanes, Leukotrienes, Prostaglandins).

9 Fatty Acids Short chain (SCFAs) have 2 6 carbons, medium chain (MCFAs) have 6 14 carbons, long chain (LCFAs) have 14 carbons.

10 Fatty Acids Saturated FAs have no double bonds, Mono-unsaturated FAs (MUFAs) have one double bond, Poly-unsaturated FAs (PUFAs) have two double bonds.

11 Fatty Acids The location of the first double bond, counting from the methyl end of the molecule, is called the Ʊ (Omega end) carbon methyl end Omega end

12 Omega end Omega end

13 Fish oils Cold water fish are rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexonoic acids (DHA) Humans have limited capacity to synthesis DHA and EPA from alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), through desaturase enzymes. During acute illness these desaturases are markedly down-regulated so that EPA and DHA synthesis from ALA is negligible.

14 Arachidonic Acid ( AA ) (pro-inflammatory fatty acid ) Lipo-oxygenase Cyclo-oxygenase LT A4 LT B4 LT C4 LT D4 LT E4 Pro-inflammatory Eicosanoids ( PG, LT, TX ) PG E2 PG D2 PG G2 PG I2 TX A2

15 Inflammation Modulating Nutrients Ʊ 3 Eicosa-Penta-enoic Acid (EPA) Docosa-Hexonoic Acids (DHA) Ʊ 3 Displaces AA, in the cell membranes, making less AA available to produce pro-inflammatory mediators Precursor for the eicosanoids (PGE3, TXA3) that are less pro-inflammatory than the eicosanoids derived from arachidonic acid.

16 Inflammation Modulating Nutrients Ʊ 6 Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) Ʊ 6 Precursor for prostaglandin E1, a pulmonary vasodilator, and mediators that are less inflammatory than the pro-inflammatory Eicosanoids produced by Arachidonic Acid

17 Dietary Modulation of Inflammation Borage Oil GLA DGLA Replacing AA with GLA results in Arachidonic Acid Cyclooxygenase Lipoxygenase X Fish Oil EPA Replacing AA with EPA results in & DHA PGE 1 and eicosanoids that are less inflammatory Decreased proinflammatory eicosanoids (LTB 4, TXA 2, PGE 2 ) Eicosanoids that are less inflammatory (TXA 3, PGE 3, LTB 5 ) E012373A 17

32 * April Canadian Clinical Practice Guidelines * April Recommendation: Based on 3 level 1 studies and 5 level 2 studies, the use of an enteral formula with fish oils, borage oils and antioxidants in patients with Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) should be considered Discussion: With the addition of 1 new study (Kagan 2015), the committee acknowledged that the lack of a treatment effect of enteral fish oils, borage oils and antioxidants remained. The sparse data on ventilator associated pneumonia i.e. 3 studies showing no effect, was noted. There were concerns about the adequacy of the control group in several studies (i.e. high fat formula, additional protein). Since the delivery of fish oil or fish oil/borage oil/antioxidant components as a bolus could have diminished the treatment effect, a sensitivity analysis with and without the Rice 2011 was done. A significant effect on 28 day mortality was only seen when this study was excluded. The committee agreed that the signals from the Grau-Carmona study, the first large, multicenter trial that used a usual care control solution and had results were negative results still had to be considered and it was agreed to continue with a recommendation for should be considered

33 Sepsis and omega 3 lipids In animal models, fish oil has shown beneficial effects May increase bacterial killing Improves survival Maintains blood flow to intestine

34 Surgical patients omega 3 Enteral and partenteral omega 3 Prevention infections Reduced length of hospital stay Pre-op use in cardiac surgery patients - reduction AF post-op, reduction length of hospital stay Good safety profile

36 Effects on infections of parenteral fish oil containing emulsions

37 Effects on mortality of fish oil lipid emulsion strategies

38 Effects on mechanical ventilation days of parenteral fish oil containing emulsions

39 Effects on hospital length of stay of parenteral fish oil containing emulsions

40 Effects on ICU length of stay of parenteral fish oil containing emulsions

41 Conclusions This updated systematic review & meta-analysis, demonstrates that FO-containing LEs in critically ill patients may be able to reduce the 1. infectious complications (significant) 2. reduction in the duration of MV (Numeric) 3. Hospital/ICU LOS (Numeric)

42 Canadian Clinical Practice Guidelines

43 (A.S.P.E.N.) (SCCM) February 2016 Question: Should EN formulas with fish oils (FOs), borage oil, and antioxidants be used in patients with ALI or ARDS? Answer: We cannot make a recommendation at this time regarding the routine use of an enteral formulation characterized by an anti inflammatory lipid profile (eg, omega-3 FOs, borage oil) and antioxidants in patients with ARDS & severe ALI, given conflicting data. [Quality of Evidence: Low to Very Low]
