AIM:To evaluate changes in the fatty acid composition of erythrocyte membrane phospholipids during severe and mild acute pancreatitis(AP)of alcoholic and nonalcoholic ***:All consecutive patients with a diagnosis of AP and onset of the disease within the last 72 h admitted to the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences between June and December 2007 were *** to the Acute Physiology and ChronicHealth Evaluation(APACHEⅡ)scale,the patients were subdivided into the mild(APACHEⅡscore<7,n=22)and severe(APACHEⅡscore≥7,n=17)AP *** individuals(n=26)were enrolled as *** samples were collected from patients on admission to the *** acids(FAs)were extracted from erythrocyte phospholipids and expressed as percentages of the total FAs present in the *** concentrations of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase were measured in ***:We found an increase in the percentages of saturated and monounsaturated FAs,a decrease in the percentages of total polyunsaturated FAs(PUFAs)and n-3 PUFAs in erythrocyte membrane phospholipids of AP patients compared with healthy ***(C16:0),palmitoleic(C16:1n7cis),arachidonic(C20:4n6),docosahexaenoic(DHA,C22:6n3),and docosapentaenoic(DPA,C22:5n3)acids were the major contributing factors.A decrease in the peroxidation and unsaturation indexes in AP patients as well as the severe and mild AP groups as compared with controls was *** concentrations of antioxidant enzymes in the mild AP group were lower than in the control *** severe AP of nonalcoholic etiology,the percentages of arachidic(C20:0)and arachidonic(C20:4n6)acids were decreased as compared with the control *** patients with mild AP of nonalcoholic etiology had the increased percentages of total saturated FAs and gama linoleic acid(C18:3n6)and the decreased percentages of elaidic(C18:1n9t),eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA,C20:5n3),DPA(C22:5n3),DHA(C22:6n3)as we
