title: [The effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids on the biochemical indices of bronchial asthma patients].
abstract: A placebo-controlled study was made of the efficacy of diet additive of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (diet oil eiconol) in 27 patients with bronchial asthma (BA). It was found that eiconol causes qualitative changes in the disease course: severe attacks of asphyxia occurred less frequently, drug doses were reduced. Provocative tests with allergen after two-week intake of eiconol versus placebo intake showed a significant decline of late allergic response due to compitative replacement of arachidonic acid in cell membranes of inflammation cell effectors by omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids inhibiting production of lipid mediators of inflammation.
