Linoleic acid (LA; 18:2 n-6), the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid in the US diet, is a precursor to oxidized metabolites that have unknown roles in the brain. Here, we show that oxidized LA-derived metabolites accumulate in several rat brain regions during CO-induced ischemia and that LA-derived 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid, but not LA, increase somatic paired-pulse facilitation in rat hippocampus by 80%, suggesting bioactivity. This study provides new evidence that LA participates in the response to ischemia-induced brain injury through oxidized metabolites that regulate neurotransmission. Targeting this pathway may be therapeutically relevant for ischemia-related conditions such as stroke.
亚油酸(LA;18:2n-6)是美国饮食中最丰富的多不饱和脂肪酸,是氧化代谢物的前体,其在大脑中的作用未知。在这里,我们表明,在 CO 诱导的缺血期间,氧化的 LA 衍生代谢物在几个大鼠脑区积累,并且 LA 衍生的 13-羟基十八碳二烯酸,但不是 LA,使大鼠海马体中的躯体成对脉冲易化增加 80%,提示具有生物活性。这项研究提供了新的证据,表明 LA 通过调节神经传递的氧化代谢物参与了对缺血性脑损伤的反应。针对该途径可能与缺血相关的疾病(如中风)的治疗有关。
