The n-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid (AA; 20: 4n-6) gives rise to eicosanoid mediators that
have established roles in inflammation and AA metabolism is a long recognised target for …

Long chain fatty acids influence inflammation through a variety of mechanisms; many of
these are mediated by, or at least associated with, changes in fatty acid composition of cell …

The n–6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, arachidonic acid, is a precursor of prostaglandins,
leukotrienes and related compounds that have important roles as mediators and regulators …

Inflammation plays a key role in many common conditions and diseases. Fatty acids can
influence inflammation through a variety of mechanisms acting from the membrane to the …

Inappropriate, excessive or uncontrolled inflammation contributes to a range of human

The n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid gives rise to the eicosanoid family of
mediators (prostaglandins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes and related metabolites). These …

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are n‐3 fatty acids found in
oily fish and fish oil supplements. These fatty acids are able to inhibit partly a number of …

The immune system is involved in host defense against infectious agents, tumor cells, and
environmental insults. Inflammation is an important component of the early immunologic …

Abstract Omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are
precursors of potent lipid mediators, termed eicosanoids, which play an important role in the …

The n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
