Article Synopsis
- Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasingly common globally and is complicated by multiple components, affecting diagnosis and treatment.
- Insulin resistance, primarily triggered by abdominal obesity, plays a central role in MetS development, with lipids, particularly fatty acids (FAs), significantly influencing insulin signaling and inflammation.
- A deficiency in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and an excess of free fatty acids (FFAs) can lead to issues like impaired glucose transport and oxidative stress, highlighting the need for deeper understanding in order to improve diagnostics and therapies for MetS.
Background: Disturbances of the fatty acids composition in plasma and red blood cells and eicosanoid synthesis play an important role in the metabolic syndrome (MS) formation.
Methods: The observation group included 61 people with metabolic syndrome (30 patients with MS and normal levels of insulin, 31 people with MS and insulin resistance--IR). The parameters of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in blood serum were examined.

The authors report the results of combined treatment including application of magnetolaserotherapy and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids for the management of patients presenting with hypertensive disease. These data give evidence of the accumulation of atherogenic fractions of plasma lipids and pathological modification of the fatty acid composition in erythrocyte membranes. They suggest the appropriateness of lipid-correcting and membrane-protective treatment for patients presenting with hypertensive disease.

Methods: We included 34 patients with arterial hypertension and 11 healthy individuals. Each patient was examined the lipid composition of serum.
We used liquid chromatography for analysis of fatty acids (FA) in lipids of erythrocytes of patients with hypertensive disease (HD) with normo- (group 1) and hyperlipidemia (group 2). Abnormalities of FA composition of erythrocyte lipids were revealed in both groups. In group 1 we found deficit of polyenic acids of omega-6 family, accumulation of Mead acid - prostanoid precursor with pronounced vasoconstrictor and pro inflammatory properties.
