Omega-3 supplementation increases 13C-EPA but not 13C-DHA kinetics in healthy older adults after 13C-DHA single dose intake: A secondary analysis
Objective
To investigated whether post supplementation, 13C-DHA is less incorporated into plasma phospholipids (PL) and triglycerides (TG) compared to pre-supplementation considering that these are the two most prominent delivery pools of DHA to tissues.
Methodology
Plasma samples from twenty healthy men and women, matched for age and body mass index, were analyzed. Participants received a single oral dose of 40 mg 13C-DHA in 2 kinetic studies: 1 prior to and 1 during the last month of supplementation with 3.2 g/day of ω3 PUFA. 13C enrichment analyses were performed on plasma samples at baseline, 4, 6, 24 hours, 7 days, and 28 days post-tracer intake. Lipids were extracted, and PL and TG were separated by solid-phase extraction. Quantification of carbon-13 eicosapentaenoic acid (13C-EPA) and 13C-DHA was performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
Results
The area under the curve (AUC) for 13C-DHA in PL and TG did not show statistically significant differences before and during supplementation. However, the AUC for 13C-EPA in PL and TG increased by 45% and 48% with supplementation, respectively. This finding was unexpected, as our previous analysis indicated a 60% reduction in plasma 13C-DHA levels during supplementation, accompanied by increased β-oxidation. Additionally, there were statistically significant time × gender interactions for 13C-EPA and 13C-DHA in plasma PL (P < 0.0001), with women exhibiting 90% and 139% higher levels of 13C-EPA and 13C-DHA over time, respectively. No time × gender interactions were observed for 13C-EPA and 13C-DHA in plasma TG, although independent time and gender effects were present. Furthermore, there was a time × body mass index interaction for 13C-EPA in PL only.
Conclusion
This secondary analysis suggests that after supplementation with ω3 PUFA, DHA metabolism is stable while EPA metabolism may be slowed due to factors such as DHA inhibition of EPA elongation and/or reduced plasma clearance, which may indicate the tissues needs for DHA are being met.

Nutrition has an open access mirror journal Nutrition: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Founded by Michael M. Meguid in the early 1980''s, Nutrition presents advances in nutrition research and science, informs its readers on new and advancing technologies and data in clinical nutrition practice, encourages the application of outcomes research and meta-analyses to problems in patient-related nutrition; and seeks to help clarify and set the research, policy and practice agenda for nutrition science to enhance human well-being in the years ahead.
