Mechanisms of action of (n-3) fatty acids.
(n-3) PUFA are a family of biologically active fatty acids. The simplest member of this family, α-linolenic acid, can be converted to the more biologically active very long-chain (n-3) PUFA EPA and DHA; this process occurs by a series of desaturation and elongation reactions, with stearidonic acid being an intermediate in the pathway. Biological activity of α-linolenic and stearidonic acids mos...
متن کاملAntiatherogenic effects of n-3 fatty acids - evidence and mechanisms
N-3 (omega-3) (polyunsaturated) fatty acids are thought to display a variety of beneficial effects for human health. Clues to the occurrence of cardiovascular protective effects have been, however, the spur for the first biomedical interest in these compounds, and are the best documented. Historically, the epidemiologic association between dietary consumption of n-3 fatty acids and cardiovascul...
متن کاملn-3 Fatty acids and the inflammatory response — biological background
Inflammation can be defined as the reaction of a living vascularized tissue to a localized damage, and plays a role in both normal repair reactions and in the pathogenesis of disease. Inflammatory phenomena are at the basis of a number of disease processes in virtually any systemic or organ-specific disease, ranging from classical rheumatic diseases to bronchial airway hyper-responsiveness, inf...
متن کاملPreventive 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...
