Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: To determine any association between dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) intake by Sudanese women attending the Radiation and Isotope Center in Khartoum and the incidence of breast cancer (BC). Methodology: Sixty BC patients (mean age 44 years) and 60 controls (mean age 39 years) participated. Dietary PUFAs intake was measured by Platelet PUFAs. Results: Patients had higher platelets Linoleic Acid (LA) levels but lower Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), Eiocosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Decosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) levels compared with the controls; all differences were highly significant (P=0.000; 0.001; 0.000 respectively). Conclusion: High platelets LA and low ALA, EPA and DHA might be possible factors associated with BC among Sudanese women.
