[The role of polyene fatty acids in the development of acute inflammation in rats].

The effect of n6 and n3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on development of acute inflammation in rats has been studied. During 4 weeks male Wistar rats (initial weight 140-150 g) were on feed containing as lipid component 6% butter and 3% fish oil obtained from Sardinops sagax melanosticta (n3 PUFA-diet). The development of paw oedema induced by subplantar injection of dextran or carrageenan inhibited when the animals were on diet where prevailed n3 PUFA.

[Diet containing fish oil as protection against ethanol-induced lesions of the gastric mucosa in rats].

Effect of dietary fish oil obtained from Sardinops Sagax malanosticta on ethanol-induced gastric mucosal lesions was studied in female Wistar rats with initial weight of 90-100 g. During three weeks, the untreated control group was fed with the basic diet containing 6% butter as a lipid component, while two test groups received olive oil or fish oil 0.2 ml/rat/day) in addition to the basic diet.
