cells and in tissues is associated with
better health

• Many different compartments
• Many chemical forms in those compartments
• Within one compartment (e.g. blood) there will be
many pools (e.g. red cells, white cells, platelets,
TGs, PLs, CEs, NEFAs …)
• The content of EPA and DHA varies in different
compartments and pools

• Increased intake of EPA and DHA (to increase levels in
different body compartments) should improve development,
function, health and well-being
• First lets look at pattern of incorporation of EPA and DHA –
we know there are dose and time dependent effects

Study design
• 5 group, parallel design, stratified by age and gender
• Control
• “1 portion oily fish” per week (2.8 g EPA+DHA on ONE day = 2.8 g/week)
• “2 portions oily fish” per week (2.8 g EPA+DHA on TWO days = 5.6 g/week)
• “2 portions oily fish” per week (taken daily – 5.6 g/week as 0.8 g/day)
• “4 portions oily fish” per week (2.8 g EPA+DHA on FOUR days = 11.2 g/week)
• 210 subjects (105 at each centre)

Summary chronic studies
1. EPA and DHA are incorporated in a dose, time and pool dependent fashion
from ALL formulations
2. With regard to incorporation of EPA and DHA into the plasma some studies
report:
TG > EE and TG > FFA > EE
But some studies report no difference between TG and EE
3. Differences between findings might be due to the exact pool being studied,
background fat intake, sample size, dose, exact mix of EPA vs DHA, other
factors

New study:
Annette West and Philip Calder (unpublished)
• In situ emulsification of EE (as used by Qin et al)
• N = 80 healthy subjects
• 4 groups
• SMEDS EPA-EE vs EPA-EE
• SMEDS DHA-EE vs DHA-EE
• Total EPA+DHA matched across all groups (1.3 g per day)
• EPA and DHA tracked in plasma for 24 hours after single dosing
without a meal
• EPA and DHA tracked in plasma, white blood cells and red blood
cells for 12 weeks with repeated daily dosing prior to breakfast

Summary
• The omega-3s EPA and DHA act on cells to alter their behaviour in away that
optimises cellular responsiveness
• Epidemiological studies and RCTs show that higher intake of omega-3s is
linked with improved health
• We now know quite alot about how blood and blood cells, and to a lesser
extent tissues, respond to different amounts of omega-3s
• Over a period of days to weeks to months, EPA and DHA are incorporated in a
dose, time and pool dependent fashion from ALL formulations
• With regard to long term incorporation of EPA and DHA into the plasma and
RBC, some studies report differences among formulations (TG > FFA > EE) but
not all studies (including ours) show such differences
• Some, but not all, studies show improved incorporation of EPA and DHA from
krill oil which provides some of the omega-3 in phospholipid form
• Pre-emulsification and in situ emulsification may offer advantages to promote
EPA and DHA incorporation – so far only tested in one not yet published
chronic study

SEAWEED IS NATURALLY RICH IN IODINE
• Natural iodine source versus artificial source
• Natural iodine from seaweed is retained longer in the body with slower release
• Clinical trials on-going in supplements and pizzas

SEAWEED & FAT ABSORPTION• Newcastle University study
• On whole seaweed and extracts (alginates)
• Investigating lipase activity – responsible for fat digestion
Differing alginate sources & fractions, & their impact on inhibiting lipasei.e. the more inhibition, the less fat is digested and so the less absorbed
![Page 68: R&D Forum 1 - Vitafoods Europe · Is more better? Improved bioavailability of Omega-3 for improved health Speaker: Prof. Philip C. Calder, Professor of Nutritional Immunology, Human](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053003/5f07a7ef7e708231d41e133e/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
SEAWEED & FAT ABSORPTION
• Comparison of seaweed homogenate and drug Orlistat. • When polyphenols were removed (pellet), the production of glycerol was higher than when present,
therefore indicating polyphenols have an impact of the breakdown of fats, and thus production of glycerol (i.e. reduced polyphenols = more glycerol = more fat digestion)
• Can conclude polyphenols limit fat digestion and subsequent absorption as well as seaweed derived polysaccharides

So why are antioxidants important?
• Cell damage is linked to states of chronic inflammation, a symptom of many diseases
• In populations with poor nutritional intake, exogenous sources of antioxidants can be limited

situation is exacerbated

Astaxanthin’s antioxidant properties
• Has been reported to possess a greater antioxidant function than other phytochemicals
• Suggested to be 10 times more effective than β-carotene and 100 times greater than vitamin E.

Evidence from Mice Exercise Models
• 3-5 weeks of astaxanthin supplementation
• ↑ fat oxidative capacity
• ↓ glycogen depletion
• ↑ endurance exercise performance

• There needs to be more carefully controlled, large sample sized human studies
• Careful consideration of the participant demographic
• Exercise protocol sensitivity
• Athletes prefer independently batch tested supplements

Key considerations of human exercise
experimental models
www.edgehill.ac.uk
[Shanks et al., 2009. Pilos Ethics Humanit Med 4:2]
• Bioavailability between models
is not always the same
• Regulating dietary intake is
easier in an animal model
• Human exercise performance
trials have more variability
