What is Fatty Acid Composition of Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue and Gastric Mucosa: Is There a Relation with Gastric Ulceration? about?
## Background: Both in vitro and epidemiological studies indicate that dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids may play a protective role against peptic ulcer in humans. adipose tissue fatty acid composition is thought to reflect dietary fatty acid intake. the aim of the present study is to investigate adipose and gastric mucosa fatty acid levels in relation to gastric ulceration status. ## Methods: Fifty two adult outpatients undergoing upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy participated in the study. adipose tissue samples were taken from the abdomen and buttock during the endoscopy procedure and samples from gastric tissue were taken from a subsample of 30 subjects. the presence of helicobacter pylori was determined using the clo test. capillary gas chromatography was used for the extraction of 36 and 42 adipose tissue and gastric mucosa lipids respectively. ## Results: The monounsaturated fatty acids (mufas) c18:1n-12c, c16:1n-5, c16:4n-1 and the polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) c16:3n-4, c20:3n-3, c20:4n-6, c21:5n-3 and c18:2n-9c,12t of the gastric mucosa were present in higher proportions in ulcer negative patients. these unsaturated fatty acids, however, each contributed less
