Omega-3 fatty acids in atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have emerged as possible protective factors associated with a decreased risk for myocardial infarction in populations with a high marine food intake, which may relate to effects on lipid metabolism, thrombosis and inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids decrease triglyceride levels and also compete as substrates for enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of lipid med...
متن کاملIntake of Fish and n3 Fatty Acids and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease Among Japanese
Background—Onceor twice-weekly consumption of fish (or a small amount of fish intake) reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac death in Western countries. It is uncertain whether a high frequency or large amount of fish intake, as is the case in Japan, further reduces the risk. Methods and Results—To examine an association between high intake of fish and n3 polyunsaturated ...
متن کاملOmega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Coronary Heart Disease Prevention
The interest in Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and coronary heart disease has arisen only over the course of the past 25 years. In the 1970s, Danish investigators studied heart disease rates in native peoples of Greenland and discovered significantly lower levels of acute myocardial infarction in Eskimos compared with ageand sex-matched Danes. On further investigation, Bang and Dyerberg co...
متن کامل[Quality of fat intake, atherosclerosis and coronary disease: effects of saturated and trans fatty acids].
Epidemiological, clinical and metabolic research has shown a strong association between dietary fatty acids intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and clinical events. Saturated fatty acids (SFA) and trans fatty acids (TFA) derived from industrial hydrogenation of oils have been associated with an increased prevalence of CVD. However experimental results on the relationship betwee...
متن کاملUse and misuse of dietary fatty acids for the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease.
In the recent years, the health effects of fish (and n-3 fatty acids) have attracted considerable scientific interest. The present consensus is that the cardioprotection of very long chain n-3 fatty acids (also called EPA and DHA) at the low dosage used in recent secondary prevention trials primarily results from an effect on the ischemic myocardium and probably not from an effect on blood lipi...
