📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Asthma is a chronic lung disorder marked by recurring episodes of airway obstructi- on accompanied especially by wheezing and coughing and by a sense of constriction in the chest, and triggered by hyperreactivity to various stimuli.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Very long chain fatty acids are the substrates for cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase and give rise to media- tors that often have different biological actions or potencies than those formed from arachidonic acid.

Abstract

Asthma is a chronic lung disorder marked by recurring episodes of airway obstructi- on accompanied especially by wheezing and coughing and by a sense of constriction in the chest, and triggered by hyperreactivity to various stimuli. Its pathophysiology involves mucus hypersecretion, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, smooth muscle hypertrophy and airway obstruction. Current therapeutic modalities of asthma have not been proved to be successful in reversing the already established chronic changes in airways. Ultimately, an important part of the treatment will aim at immunomodu- lation and preventing the chronic irreversible changes in asthma. For this reason interventions including dietary changes before the sensitization and remodelling peri- od would be beneficial in terms of preventing those changes. Very long chain fatty acids are the substrates for cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase and give rise to media- tors that often have different biological actions or potencies than those formed from arachidonic acid. This paper provides a short synopsis of the immunological patho- logy of asthma and discusses potential targets for omega-3 fatty acids.

Özet

Astım hışıltı, öksürük, göğüste sıkışma hissi ile karakterize, pek çok uyaran ile tetik- lenen hiperreaktivitenin olduğu yineleyen ataklarla seyreden kronik bir akciğer hastalığıdır. Etiyolojisinde genetik ve çevresel etkenler suçlanmaktadır. Patofizyolo- jisinde mukus aşırı-sekresyonu, bronş aşırı-yanıtı, düz kas hipertrofisi ve hava yolu tıkanıklığı vardır. Şu an astım tedavi yöntemlerinin hava yollarında oluşmuş olan kronik değişiklikleri geriye çevirmede ispatlanabilmiş bir etkisi yoktur. Bu nedenle immunmodülasyon ve geri dönüşümsüz kronik değişiklikleri engellemek üzerinde durulmaktadır. Duyarlanma ve hava yolu yeniden yapılanması oluşmadan diyetteki değişiklikleri de içeren müdahaleler yararlı olabilir. Çok uzun zincirli yağ asitleri siklooksijenaz enzimi için substrat olur ve araşidonik asitten farklı biyolojik aktivite ve potansiyelde mediatörler ortaya çıkar. Bu yazıda astım immunopatolojisine kısa bir bakış yapılmakta ve omega-3 yağ asitlerinin potansiyel hedefleri tartışılmaktadır.
