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 …

Inflammation underlies many common conditions and diseases. Fatty acids can influence
inflammation through a variety of mechanisms, including acting via cell surface and …

Abstract (n-3) PUFA are a family of biologically active fatty acids. The simplest member of
this family, a-linolenic acid, can be converted to the more biologically active very long-chain …

Background Epidemiological and clinical evidence suggests that an increased intake of long-
chain n-3 fatty acids protects against mortality from coronary artery disease. We aimed to test …

The present review aims to illustrate current knowledge about the efficacy of omega-3 long-
chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n− 3 LC-PUFAs) in treating/preventing several metabolic …

Numerous effects of n-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA on functional responses of cells involved
in inflammation and immunity have been described. Fatty acid-induced modifications in …

Atherosclerosis has an important inflammatory component and acute cardiovascular events
can be initiated by inflammatory processes occurring in advanced plaques. Fatty acids …

Background N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from oily fish protect against death
from cardiovascular disease. We aimed to assess the hypothesis that incorporation of n-3 …

Background: Epidemiologic studies, studies of mechanisms of action, and many animal
studies indicate that dietary intake of ω-3 fatty acids has antiatherosclerotic potential. Few …

Long chain n–3 PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) are found in fatty fish and in fish oils.
Substantial evidence from epidemiological and case-control studies indicates that …
