Conjugated eicosapentaenoic acid (CEPA) and conjugated docosahexaenoic acid (CDHA) with triene structure, isomerized by alkaline treatment, showed intensive cytotoxicity with LD(50) at 12 and 16 microM, respectively, in DLD-1 cells (colorectal adenocarcinoma), while they had no effect on normal human fibroblast cell lines such as MRC-5, TIG-103, and KMS-6 cells. Cytotoxic action of CEPA and CDHA was also demonstrated in other tumor cell lines including HepG2, A549, MCF-7, and MKN-7 cells. alpha-Tocopherol suppressed cytotoxicity of CEPA and CDHA in tumor cells, and the cytotoxicity involved membrane phospholipid peroxidation. CEPA and CDHA induced DNA condensation and fragmentation in DLD-1 cells, indicating the involvement of apoptosis in this cytotoxic mechanism. Furthermore, previous reports have shown that lipid peroxidation product induces cell death, including apoptotic cell death in different cell lines. CEPA and CDHA have been demonstrated in cultured cells to cause cell death via lipid peroxidation and apoptosis in the absence of alpha-tocopherol.

Conjugated Fatty Acids in Muscle Food Products and Their Potential Health Benefits: A Review.

Conjugated fatty acids (CFAs) are a group of positional and geometric isomers of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) with conjugated double bonds. There are several subgroups of CFAs including conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs), conjugated linolenic acids (CLNAs), conjugated eicosapentaenoic acids (CEPAs), and conjugated docosahexaenoic acids (CDHAs). CFAs, especially CLAs, have been studied in recent years both for their health benefits and factors that affect their level in muscle food products.

A collection of evidence suggests that conjugation of double bonds of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), increases their anticarcinogenic activity; however, the effect of such conjugation on vascular tone activity remains unknown. We propose that the mixture of conjugated PUFAs exerts higher vasorelaxation activity than the corresponding mixture of nonconjugated PUFAs. The vascular response to different concentrations of conjugated and nonconjugated isomers of EPA and DHA, among other fatty acids (FAs) naturally present in shark oil, and the role of nitric oxide (NO) as a vasorelaxant agent were investigated.

Trans and conjugated fatty acids may exhibit either beneficial or detrimental bioactive effects depending on their metabolic properties. This study was conducted to elucidate if isomerization and conjugation of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) demonstrate more favorable bioactivity on lipid metabolism compared to unmodified EPA and DHA. The effects of dietary intake of trans and conjugated forms of EPA and DHA on lipid metabolism were evaluated in animal trials and compared to a control group fed soybean oil.
