The Effect of Marine Derived n-3 Fatty Acids on Adipose Tissue Metabolism and Function

Adipose tissue function is key determinant of metabolic health, with specific nutrients being suggested to play a role in tissue metabolism. One such group of nutrients are the n-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3). Results from studies where human, animal and cellular models have been utilised to investigate the effects of EP...

Gender-Specific Associations of Marine n-3 Fatty Acids and Fish Consumption with 10-Year Incidence of Stroke

BACKGROUND There is some evidence that the association of fish and marine fatty acids with stroke risk differs between men and women. We investigated the gender-specific associations of habitual intake of the marine fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) plus docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and fish on incident stroke in a population-based study in the Netherlands. METHODS We prospectively follow...

Preventive use of N-3 fatty acids.

To the Editor: In the editorial “N-3 fatty acids: priority for post–myocardial infarction clinical trials,” Dr Scott Grundy1 (somewhat cautiously) endorsed the need for a trial to test the hypothesis that -3 fatty acid (FA) supplements will reduce risk for coronary death in patients randomized in the immediate post–myocardial infarction period. We support this recommendation, but we differ with...
