沙棘籽油与现代生活习惯病的防治

Seabuckthorn seed oil in prevention of lifestyle-related disease

脂质营养与现代生活习惯病密切相关,亚油酸与α-亚麻酸作为必需脂肪酸对于维持机体正常生理功能必不可缺,而以两者为代表的n-3系列脂肪酸与n-6系列脂肪酸的摄取比例(n-3:n-6)失衡为诸多现代生活习惯病发生与恶化的重要危险因子。正确调整脂质摄取平衡对于防治现代生活习惯病至关重要。最新脂质营养理论倡导科学的摄取平衡应以n-3系列与n-6系列脂肪酸的比例接近1:1为适宜。沙棘籽油含有与脂质营养理论所倡导的亚油酸及α-亚麻酸的适宜比例,且含有一价不饱和脂肪酸、V-A、V-E及胡萝卜素等多种生理活性物质,对于防治现代生活习惯病具有广阔的应用前景。

The current scientific consensus recognizes both linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid as essential fatty acids in human. As more is known about the interrelationship of their metabolism, the need for an optimal balance between the n-6 to n-3 fatty acids is acknowledged. An inappropriate balance of these essential fatty acids is major risk factor for lifestyle-related disease including western-type cancers cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and allergic hyper-reactivity, while a proper balance helps maintain and even improve health. Some recommendation have made on the basis of the ratio of n-6 to n-3 fatty acids. An optimal balance between the two series should be kept 1 :1. Seabuckthorn seed oil contains the optimal balance between the two series of linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid, and rich in fat soluble vitamins and carotenoids, as well as other active constituents. Therefore, Seabuckthorn seed oil is useful for the prevention of lifestyle-related disease.
