RESUMEN

PROBLEM: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can be endogenously converted into mediators with pro-inflammatory (eg, leukotriene B4/LTB4) or anti-inflammatory/pro-resolving activities (eg, resolvin D1/RvD1 and maresin 1/MaR1). Recent data indicate an imbalance of LTB4 and MaR1 levels in pre-eclampsia (PE), but the relative production of these mediators, including RvD1, and the role of these mediators in the disease pathogenesis remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the plasma levels of LTB4, RvD1, and MaR1 in pregnant women with or without PE and non-pregnant controls and their association with clinical/laboratory parameters of PE women. METHOD OF STUDY: LTB4, RvD1, and MaR1 plasma levels were measured by competitive enzyme immunoassay in 19 non-pregnant, 20 normotensive pregnant, and 21 PE women. RESULTS: Plasma concentrations of LTB4 were higher and RvD1 were lower in PE women than in normotensive pregnant women, who presented higher levels of LTB4 and similar levels of RvD1 to non-pregnant women. MaR1 levels did not differ among the groups. Pre-eclampsia women had decreased RvD1/LTB4 and MaR1/LTB4 ratios. Considering only the PE group, positive correlations were observed among all the mediators tested, between LTB4 and white blood cell count and between RvD1 and creatinine levels. However, all lipid mediators correlated negatively with body mass index before pregnancy. LTB4 also correlated negatively with maternal age. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the PE state results in systemic overproduction of LTB4 in relation to RvD1 and MaR1, and that these lipid mediators may be involved with the disease pathogenesis.
