Unsaturated fatty acids are in blood serum and erythrocytes of the patients with chronic form of ischemic heart disease
The sex changes of irreplaceable, unsaturated fatty acids (FA) of ω3 and ω 6 families were revealed in patients with chronic form of ischemic heart disease. The sum of ω3 and ratio of ω3/ω6 FA in blood serum were reduced in male. In female the total ω6 was reduced and the sum of ω3 was not change. In the erythrocytes single irreplaceable, unsaturated FA were detected in male (decrease of C20:5 FA ω3 and increase of C 20:3 ω6). Unidirectional increase of replaceable FA C18:1 (11) ω7 family in serum and erythrocytes, was revealed in patients of both sex. In female patients increasing of C16:1(19) ω7 and C18:1(9) ω9 families were also found out.
