Details and patient eligibility

About

Patients with Cystic Fibrosis have increased oxidative stress and impaired antioxidant systems. Under certain conditions, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intake may have a favorable role in reducing redox status.

In this randomized, double-blind, cross-over study, DHA (Pro-Mind) and placebo (sunflower oil) capsules, will be given, daily to 10 patients, 5 mg/kg for 2 weeks then 10 mg/kg for the next 2 weeks. Biomarkers of lipid peroxidation and vitamin E levels will be measured. Plasma and platelet lipid compositions will be determined.

10 participants in 2 patient groups, including a placebo group

Docosahexaenoic acid
Experimental group
Description:
Each capsule of DHA contains 100 mg DHA in triglycerides from algal oil, 0.125 mg alpha-tocopherol and 0.125 mg ascorbic acid. Subjects receive an orally and daily ingestion of DHA capsules (5mg/kg for 15 days followed by 10 mg/kg for another 15 days without interruption between the 2 periods).
Treatment:
Drug: Docosahexaenoic acid
Sunflower oil
Placebo Comparator group
Description:
Placebo capsules contain the same quantities of antioxidants and triglycerides of sunflower oil. Subjects receive an orally and daily ingestion of placebo capsules for 28 days.
Treatment:
Drug: Sunflower Oil
