title: [The effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on lipid peroxidation].
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a diet supplemented with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (plant-derived alpha-linolenic acid and eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids with alpha-tocopherol (product "Tekom") on the myocardial phospholipid fatty acids composition, lipid peroxidation and activity antioxidant enzymes--superoxide dismutase and catalase in myocardial tissue in control and after ischemia/reperfusion of isolated working rat hearts. Inclusion of omega-3 PUFAs into the animals' diet within 4 weeks demonstrated that alpha-linolenic acid and "Tekom" increased omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids content in cardiomyocytes membranes and limited lipid peroxidation (decreased content of congugates of dienes and malone dialdehyde, reduced hemiluminescence of myocardial tissue). Additionally omega-3 PUFAs caused the beneficial effects on activity of antioxidant enzymes in cardiac tissue (increased superoxide dismutase and catalase activity).
