N-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, Body Fat and Inflammation
BACKGROUND Based on animal studies, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been suggested to lower the risk of obesity and inflammation. We aimed to investigate if, among humans, intake of n-3 PUFAs was associated with i) total body fat, ii) body fat distribution and iii) obesity-related inflammatory markers. METHODS The study population consisted of 1,212 healthy individuals with infor...
متن کاملn-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids, inflammation and obesity-related disease.
Obese individuals are at increased risk from a range of metabolic diseases, including insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and hypertension. Adipose tissue is an important endocrine organ, secreting a range of inflammatory mediators, including tumour necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 6. Circulating concentrations of these cytokines are increased in obesity and may contribute to the pathogenesi...
متن کاملn-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, inflammation, and inflammatory diseases.
Inflammation is part of the normal host response to infection and injury. However, excessive or inappropriate inflammation contributes to a range of acute and chronic human diseases and is characterized by the production of inflammatory cytokines, arachidonic acid-derived eicosanoids (prostaglandins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes, and other oxidized derivatives), other inflammatory agents (e.g., r...
متن کاملn-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and cancer.
n-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids are promising molecules in cancer prevention and the potentiation of cancer treatment. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of their interactions with other food components. Their effects on tumor growth depend upon background levels of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, and this could account for previously inconsistent results in experi...
متن کاملPolyunsaturated fatty acids and inflammation.
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 of inflammation. Consuming increased amounts of long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (found in oily fish and fish oils) results in a partial replacement of the arachidonic acid in cell membranes by eicosapentaenoic...
