Existing meta-analyses on omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and their anti-inflammatory effects have reported uncertain findings. The current umbrella meta-analysis aimed to assess the findings of multiple meta-analyses on the efficacy of n-3 PUFAs on inflammatory biomarkers in adults with different health conditions.
Using suitable keywords, articles published until December 2021 were searched in PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, and Google Scholar. Meta-analyses investigating the impact of supplementation of n-3 PUFAs on inflammatory biomarkers in adults were included. We performed this meta-analysis using a random-effects model.
Overall, 32 meta-analyses were qualified in this umbrella meta-analysis. Our findings demonstrated that the n-3 PUFA supplementation significantly reduced serum C-reactive protein (CRP) (ES = -0.40; 95 % CI: -0.56, -0.24, p < 0.001; I = 89.5 %, p < 0.001), Tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) (ES = -0.23; 95 % CI: -0.37, -0.08, p = 0.002; I = 60.1 %, p < 0.001), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) concentrations (ES = -0.22; 95 % CI: -0.39, -0.05, p = 0.010; I = 66.2 %, p < 0.001).
The current umbrella meta-analysis found that supplementation of n-3 PUFAs in adults can improve CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 concentrations under various health conditions. n-3 PUFAs can be recommended as adjuvant anti-inflammatory agents.
现有的关于ω-3 多不饱和脂肪酸及其抗炎作用的荟萃分析报告结果并不确定。本伞式荟萃分析旨在评估针对不同健康状况的成年人中 n-3 多不饱和脂肪酸对炎症生物标志物疗效的多项荟萃分析的结果。
使用合适的关键词,在 PubMed/Medline、Web of Science、Scopus、EMBASE 和 Google Scholar 中搜索截至 2021 年 12 月发表的文章。纳入研究 n-3 多不饱和脂肪酸补充对成年人炎症生物标志物影响的荟萃分析。我们使用随机效应模型进行了这项荟萃分析。
总体而言,本伞式荟萃分析中有 32 项荟萃分析符合条件。我们的研究结果表明,n-3 多不饱和脂肪酸补充显著降低了血清 C 反应蛋白(CRP)(ES=-0.40;95%CI:-0.56,-0.24,p<0.001;I=89.5%,p<0.001)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNFα)(ES=-0.23;95%CI:-0.37,-0.08,p=0.002;I=60.1%,p<0.001)和白细胞介素 6(IL-6)浓度(ES=-0.22;95%CI:-0.39,-0.05,p=0.010;I=66.2%,p<0.001)。
本伞式荟萃分析发现,在各种健康状况下,成年人补充 n-3 多不饱和脂肪酸可以改善 CRP、TNF-α 和 IL-6 浓度。n-3 多不饱和脂肪酸可以作为辅助抗炎药物推荐。
