n-3 Fatty acid supplementation in burned paediatric patients
Acta Pediatrica, 08/18/09

Marin MC et al. – In the early post–burn patients, there is an increase in saturated and monounsaturated FAs in plasma phospholipids, and a decrease in polyunsaturated FAs compared with control. These alterations are in favour of proinflammatory response to burn injury. In n–3 FA supplemented group, these changes were further reverted, and a favourable response in the amount of total plasma proteins and in C3 and C4 proteins of the complement system was demonstrated. Dietary n–3 FA supplementation might be beneficial for patients suffering thermal injury.
