Objectives

Narrative objectives1

With the aim of investigating the influence of long-term ingestion of krill oil on brain function, we use near-infrared spectroscopy to measure changes in the concentration of oxy-hemoglobin, which is an indicator of activation of brain function. We also record the event-related potential obtained from the analysis of electroencephalogram.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Before starting ingestion, at week 6 and 12,
1) the changes in the oxy-Hb concentration during calculation tasks, and results of performance
2) the changes in oxy-Hb concentration and ERP during memory tasks, and results of performance
3) psychological tests by using POMS, STAI, and the visual analog scale (VAS)

Key secondary outcomes

Before starting ingestion, at week 6 and 12,
1) height, weight, and blood pressure
2) results of blood test (white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit)
3) results of blood biochemical test (GOT, GPT, gamma-GTP, creatinine, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, HbA1c, and uric acid)
4) fatty acids in plasma (dihomo-gamma linorenic acid, arachidonic acid, EPA, and DHA)
5) results of urine test (occult blood, urinary protein, urinary sugar, and urobilinogen)
6) nutrient intake by food frequency method

Results

In the case of memory task, the changes in the oxy-Hb concentrations of the sardine oil and the krill oil groups were significantly greater compared with those of the placebo group at week 12. Regarding ERP, P300 latency of the krill oil group was significantly shorter than that of the placebo group at week 12. About the calculation task, in the krill oil group, the changes in the oxy-Hb concentrations were significantly greater at week 12 than those at week 0.
