Increasing evidence suggests that adipokines, leptin and adiponectin, produced and secreted by adipocytes, are involved in regulating systemic inflammation and may be important targets for interventions to reduce the chronic systemic inflammation linked to some conditions common in aging (e.g., atherosclerosis). Lower leptin levels and higher adiponectin levels in peripheral circulation have been associated with less systemic inflammation. While some studies have shown that marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and/or docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) have effects on leptin and adiponectin in the context of inflammation, the extent of their effects remain unclear. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize findings from randomized, controlled trials that measured effects of EPA+DHA supplementation on circulating levels of leptin and adiponectin to determine the state of the science. PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Trials were searched up to June 2018 for studies meeting inclusion criteria. Thirty-one studies included in this review were conducted in 16 countries. Eighteen studies reported lower leptin and/or higher adiponectin levels with EPA+DHA supplementation versus placebo at study end point (9 reported statistically significant differences), but doses, supplementation duration, and population characteristics varied across studies. In 9 studies reporting significantly lower leptin and/or higher adiponectin levels the EPA+DHA dose was 0.52 to 4.2 g/day for 4 to 24 weeks. Additional studies are warranted which assess dose parameters and patient populations similar to studies reporting significant effects of EPA+DHA on leptin or adiponectin in order to evaluate the extent of reproducibility before recommending EPA+DHA as a therapy to target these adipokines.
越来越多的证据表明,脂肪细胞产生和分泌的脂肪因子瘦素和脂联素参与调节全身炎症,并且可能是减少与衰老相关的某些常见疾病(如动脉粥样硬化)相关的慢性全身性炎症的干预措施的重要靶点。外周循环中较低的瘦素水平和较高的脂联素水平与较低的全身性炎症相关。虽然一些研究表明,海洋衍生的 ω-3 脂肪酸(二十碳五烯酸[EPA]和/或二十二碳六烯酸[DHA])在炎症背景下对瘦素和脂联素有影响,但它们的影响程度尚不清楚。本系统评价的目的是总结随机对照试验中测量 EPA+DHA 补充对循环瘦素和脂联素水平影响的研究结果,以确定科学现状。PubMed、CINAHL、Web of Science、Scopus 和 Cochrane 试验在 2018 年 6 月前进行了检索,以确定符合纳入标准的研究。本综述纳入了 31 项研究,这些研究在 16 个国家进行。18 项研究报告称,与安慰剂相比,EPA+DHA 补充剂在研究终点时降低了瘦素和/或升高了脂联素水平(9 项研究报告了统计学差异),但剂量、补充持续时间和人群特征在研究之间存在差异。在 9 项报告瘦素显著降低和/或脂联素显著升高的研究中,EPA+DHA 剂量为 0.52 至 4.2 克/天,持续时间为 4 至 24 周。需要进一步的研究来评估剂量参数和患者人群,这些研究与报告 EPA+DHA 对瘦素或脂联素有显著影响的研究相似,以便在推荐 EPA+DHA 作为靶向这些脂肪因子的治疗方法之前,评估其重现性的程度。
