Campo de la invenciónField of the Invention

Esta invención tiene su aplicación dentro de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de medicamentos y en general en el campo de la medicina.This invention has its application within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of medicines and in general in The medical field.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

El síndrome de fatiga crónica (SFC) cuyo acrónimo en inglés es CFS, está reconocido como una enfermedad sistémica severa que se caracteriza por fatiga extrema, física y mental junto a otros síntomas que afectan a los sistemas inmunológico, endocrinológico y neurológico, fundamentalmente.Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) whose Acronym in English is CFS, it is recognized as a disease severe systemic characterized by extreme fatigue, physical and mental along with other symptoms that affect the systems Immune, endocrinological and neurological, fundamentally.

El diagnóstico de la enfermedad se basa en la aplicación de unos criterios internacionalmente aceptados (conocidos como de Fukuda o del CDC).The diagnosis of the disease is based on the application of internationally accepted criteria (known as Fukuda or CDC).

Si bien al principio se pensó que se trataba de la secuela de una enfermedad viral aguda, actualmente se hipotiza al respecto de una patogenia multifactorial en la que pueden tener gran valor las reactivaciones de virus latentes y otros microorganismos, predominantemente intracelulares.While at first it was thought that it was about the aftermath of an acute viral disease, is currently hypotized about a multifactor pathogenesis in which they can have great value the reactivations of latent and other viruses microorganisms, predominantly intracellular.

La relación de síntomas y signos de tipo neuro-inmune-endocrinológico del síndrome sería exhaustiva, pero algunos de ellos se repiten de forma estadísticamente significativa en muchos afectados, de forma que adquieren un especial valor.The relationship of symptoms and type signs neuro-immune-endocrinological syndrome would be exhaustive, but some of them recur from statistically significant in many affected, so They acquire a special value.

Por el momento, no existe un tratamiento causal de la enfermedad y se buscan métodos y técnicas que permitan la clasificación de la gravedad de la fatiga (y de la enfermedad en general) y que puedan orientar un pronóstico de la misma y una expectativa de tratamiento enfocado a las moléculas diana (especialmente implicadas) de la enfermedad.At the moment, there is no causal treatment of the disease and methods and techniques that allow the classification of the severity of fatigue (and of the disease in general) and that can guide a forecast of it and a treatment expectation focused on the target molecules (especially involved) of the disease.

Entre otras muchas, se ha constatado una disminución de la proporción de ácidos grasos, en concreto del Ácido Giberélico (AG3) de la familia de los llamados Omega-3, en la membrana del hematíe.Among many others, a decrease in the proportion of fatty acids, specifically Gibberellic Acid (AG3) of the so-called family Omega-3, in the red blood cell membrane.

Este ácido graso, presente en muchas otras estructuras de la economía corporal (sobre todo membranas neurales), desempeña importantes papeles y puede explicar muchos síntomas típicos del síndrome de fatiga crónica y permitiendo una vía de tratamiento eficaz.This fatty acid, present in many others body economy structures (especially membranes neural), plays important roles and can explain many typical symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and allowing a Effective treatment route.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

El suplemento alimenticio basado en la utilización de ácidos grasos Omega-3 (DHA y EPA) para el tratamiento del síndrome de fatiga crónica que la invención propone, mejora de forma sustancial la calidad de vida de los enfermos sometidos a su tratamiento.The nutritional supplement based on the use of Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) for the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome that the invention proposes, substantially improves the quality of life of Patients undergoing treatment.

De forma más concreta, el suplemento alimenticio basado en la utilización de ácidos grasos Omega-3 (DHA y EPA) para el tratamiento del síndrome de fatiga crónica objeto de la invención, está constituido a partir de la selección de un grupo de pacientes con síndrome de fatiga crónica, diagnosticados según los citados criterios internacionales, descartándose de presión mayor mediante la aplicación de la MINI- Entrevista Neuropsiquiátrica Internacional.More specifically, the supplement food based on the use of fatty acids Omega-3 (DHA and EPA) for the treatment of the syndrome of chronic fatigue object of the invention, is constituted to from the selection of a group of patients with syndrome chronic fatigue, diagnosed according to the aforementioned criteria international, discarding greater pressure through the MINI application - Neuropsychiatric Interview International.

El protocolo del trabajo y el objetivo, consistía en comprobar si la suplementación dietética del ácido graso AG3 podía mejorar la funcionalidad física y psicológica de los pacientes y verificar si esta mejoría se contrastaba con variación de parámetros analíticos, como por ejemplo la actividad de la vía 2-50AS, PKR, elastasas, neopterina y escalas de valoración neurocognitiva y función física.The work protocol and the objective, was to check if dietary acid supplementation fatty AG3 could improve the physical and psychological functionality of patients and verify if this improvement was contrasted with variation of analytical parameters, such as activity of the 2-50AS, PKR, elastase, neopterin and Neurocognitive assessment scales and physical function.

Como quiera que se aplica un protocolo que aborda varias especialidades, el estudio se diseñó también para evaluar el consumo de oxígeno frente al esfuerzo (con equipos configurados como el de la banda rodante, la bicicleta de esfuerzo o con equipos de valoración segmentaria de brazos y piernas), relacionando el consumo de oxígeno con la IGF-1 y otras valoraciones hormonales (Cortisol en sangre y Orina, ACTH, Prolactina, Testosterona, Estrógenos e IGF-1 y si procedía, test de secreción de GH tras estimulación) y enzimáticas (ATPasa).However a protocol is applied that addresses several specialties, the study was also designed to evaluate oxygen consumption versus effort (with equipment configured as the treadmill, the exercise bike or with segmental assessment equipment of arms and legs), relating oxygen consumption with IGF-1 and Other hormonal assessments (Cortisol in blood and urine, ACTH, Prolactin, Testosterone, Estrogens and IGF-1 and yes proceeded, GH secretion test after stimulation) and enzymatic (ATPase).

Para la valoración se utilizó la escala de impacto de fatiga, el SF-36, Actimetría mediante Actímetros y la batería neuropsicológica Luria Nebraska (WPS-000).For the assessment, the scale of fatigue impact, the SF-36, Actimetry through Actimeters and the neuropsychological battery Luria Nebraska (WPS-000).

Se determinaron ácidos grasos en plasma y en membrana eritrocitaria, antes, durante y después del estudio.Fatty acids were determined in plasma and in erythrocyte membrane, before, during and after the study.

Los pacientes tomaron un suplemento diario de ácidos grasos Omega-3 consistente en 1 gr./día de ácido graso poliinsaturado docosahexaenoico (DHA) y 1 gr./día de Ácido Eicosapentanoico (EPA) distribuido en las tres principales comidas diarias y preparado en forma oleoil, aunque podría suministrarse en otras formulaciones.The patients took a daily supplement of Omega-3 fatty acids consisting of 1 gr./day of docosahexaenoic polyunsaturated fatty acid (DHA) and 1 gr./day of Eicosapentanoic Acid (EPA) distributed in the three main daily meals and prepared in oil form, although it could be supplied in other formulations.

Los pacientes tomaron esta suplementación durante seis meses y fueron evaluados antes, durante y después (tres meses después) del tratamiento.The patients took this supplementation for six months and were evaluated before, during and after (three months later) of the treatment.

El tratamiento estadístico de los datos evidenció una mejoría significativa tanto en los parámetros físicos como neuropsicológicos, verificándose la hipótesis de normalidad de la muestra.The statistical treatment of the data evidenced a significant improvement in both physical parameters as neuropsychological, verifying the hypothesis of normality of the sample.
