Effet des acides gras polyinsaturés N-3 sur la modulation in vitro des lymphocytes T et le statut redox chez les femmes obèses hypertendues

ObjectivesDeepen our knowledge of the immune system alterations associated with obesity-related hypertension and demonstrate that polyunsaturated fatty acids can enhance the proliferation and their profile oxidant/antioxidant and subsequently involved in the strategy prevention and treatment in obese hypertensives.MethodsT cells are isolated from the blood of the control and obese women with hypertension the University Hospital of Tlemcen (Algeria), these cells are incubated in the presence of a synthetic mixture of PUFA to 30 μM (DHA/EPA/LA) and stimulated by mitogens for 48 hours. The cells are counted and used to assess intracellular oxidative status. The biochemical parameters are determined by the use of plasma.ResultsIn obese women with hypertension, a significant increase in plasma levels of (glucose, uric acid, creatinine, urea, total cholesterol and triglycerides) compared to controls. In addition, decreased cell proliferation, basal or stimulated by Con A was observed in obese women with hypertension compared with controls. The mixture of PUFA to 30 μM reduced lymphoproliferation as well in obese women with hypertension than in controls. The rates in malondialdéhyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl lymphocytes are elevated in hypertensive obese women. PUFA supplementation to 30 μM seems correct this redox status in hypertensive obese since rates in protein carbonyl, are similar to those of controls.ConclusionThe mixture of PUFA (n-3 and n-6) can modulate the activity of T lymphocyte proliferation and correct the intracellular redox status in hypertensive obese women.
