Summary (comments, future direction)Introduction\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Health-related importance of n-3 fatty acids:1. Anti-inflammatory agent2. Neurological health Introduction and My Research Question\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Fish is an abundant source of nutrients include:a.n-3 fatty acidsb.Fat soluble vitamins (vitamin A, D, E,)c.Water soluble vitamin (B12, folate)d.Amino acids (cysteine, arginine)e.Ironf. Choline Limitation of current studies on n-3 ad fish intake\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Only focused on n-3 as the only factor that contribute to such benefits\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Other studies on individual nutrients such as choline show similar health benefits\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Never investigate whether these health benefits are contributed by single nutrient or multiple nutrientsResearch Questions\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Do people with high fish intake have high intake of nutrients other than n-3 fatty acids?\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Are the health benefits of fish intake contributed by single nutrient or multiple nutrients?MethodsSubjects and Design:Low Meat IntakeHigh Meat IntakeLow Fish IntakeGroup 1 Group 2High Fish IntakeGroup 3 Group 4- Compare the differences intake of chosen nutrients among these 4 groupsStatistical Analysis- Tukey\u00E2\u0080\u0099s multiple comparison test was used to detect significant differences in intake of chosen nutrients among women grouped by fish intake.Nutrients that differed among the 4 groups(low fish, low meat)(low fish, high meat)(high fish, low meat)(high fish, high meat)EPA (g) 0.04 0.05 0.15 0.16DHA (g) 0.07 0.08 0.27 0.32Arginine (g)2.35 3.36 3.24 4.05Cysteine (g)0.89 0.73 0.69 0.86Vit-D (mg)206.69 253.41 317.36 336.81Vit-B12 (mcg)4.28 4.59 5.84 6.76Total Choline (mg)298.74 353.36 483.22 492.83Discussion/Comments- Compared to group 1 and 2 with group 3 and 4 generally have a higher intake of the following:1.n-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA)2.Arginine3.Vitamin D, B124.CholineDiscussion/Comment- n-3 fatty acids are not the only nutrients- Recall: Other nutrients also have anti-inflammatory effect- Choline intake is associated with neurological development Discussion/Comment\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Answers to my research questions:1. Do people with high fish intake also have high intake of nutrients other than n-3 fatty acids?A: YES2. Are the health benefits of fish only contributed by n-3 fatty acids? A: ehhh\u00E2\u0080\u00A6most likely NOConclusion- Other than n-3:- Fish intake also correlates to high intake of choline, vitamin B12, D, arginine- The health benefits of high fish intake may be multiple factorialTHANKS TO\u00E2\u0080\u00A6\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Dr. Innis for the opportunity\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Russell for continuing guidance\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Mohammad for some of the technical help\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Lizzy and Michelle for the powerpoint!"@en .
