Malerba G [25] also showed a significant correlation between FADS3 polymorphism (rs1000778) and PUFAs. In the present study, carriers of rs174460 C allele had a higher level of DGLA. In an earlier report, Kim OY [3] 18325633 showed a similar result in individuals with more features of metabolic syndrome and arterial stiffness. They proposed that impaired fatty acids metabolism may cause the accumulation of DGLA, possibly as a consequence of long-term metabolic disorders. This theory was based on reports by Warensjo et al. [6] and others [3]: LA and a ?linolenic acid (ALA, C18:3n-3) in plasma lipid esters reflect the dietary fatty acid intake 6? weeks before measurement. However, C16:1 and DGLA do not reflect the dietary intake of those fatty acids but are synthesized endogenously by a series of desaturation step. Several studies, including genome-wide association studies, showed associations between SNPs in the FADS gene cluster and lipid levels, such as HDL-C, LDL-C and TG [26,27]. Although our study also showed significant difference in lipid levels with SNPs between the two groups, the results were not fully consistent with previous reports, such as TC and LDL-C were Vadimezan biological activity decreased in CAD patients.
