| Research Abstract |
We have elucidated that the fraction of fatty acids was significantly associated with the known cardiovascular risks and the function of peripheral blood monocytes(inflammatory M1 type and anti-inflammatory M2 type) in Japanese patients with obesity and metabolic syndrome from 1050 subjects in the database of National Hospital Organization. In addition, we have clarified the anti-inflammatory effect and its mechanism of eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA) on unfavorable M1/M2-like phenotypes of monocytes in obesity. Now, we are elucidating the single nucleotide polymorphisms which affect the fraction of fatty acids and phenotypes of monocytes. Accordingly, these data suggests the usefulness of the measu rement of the fraction of fatty acids and phenotypes of monocytes for early detection of atherosclerosis and the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in obesity and metabolic syndrome.
