Abstract
This study examines the differences in circulating levels of cytokines among Japanese in Japan (JJ), Japanese Americans (JA), and whites and their associations with obesity and marine n-3 fatty acids (FA) in a cross-sectional population-based study of 297 men aged 40-49 (100 JJ, 99 whites, and 98 JA). Experimental studies show that cytokines are associated with obesity positively and marine n-3 FA inversely. Serum interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha), IL-1 receptor agonist (IL-1ra), IL-4, IL-8, IL-10, inducible protein-10 (IP-10), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and marine n-3 FA were determined. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and computed tomography-measured visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues were determined. The JJ had significantly lower levels of IL-1alpha, IL-4, IL-8, MCP-1, and TNF-alpha than whites and JA. Whites and JA had similar levels of IL-1alpha, IL-4, and IL-8 whereas whites had significantly higher levels of MCP-1 and TNF-alpha than JA. The JJ were least obese (BMI (kg/m(2)), mean +/- standard deviation) 23.6 +/- 2.8, 27.9 +/- 4.6, and 27.9 +/- 4.5 for JJ, whites, and JA, respectively. The JJ had marine n-3 FA about 100% higher than whites and JA ...Continue Reading
