Omega-3 Fatty Acid Effect on Alveolar Bone Loss in Rats

Beneficial effect of omega-3 fatty acids on bone metabolism.

Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation

Free fatty acids and the risk of sudden death • Elevated circulating free fatty acids have been reported to be a risk factor for sudden death. In the Paris Prospective Study reported by Jouven et al. [ 3 ], 5250 men were observed over a mean follow-up period of 22 years. The concept that omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may have potential health benefits has been supported by e...

Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acid in the Healing Process of Colonic Anastomosis in Rats

BACKGROUND The use of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids has been studied in the context of healing and tissue regeneration mainly due to its anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory and antioncogenic properties. Previous studies have demonstrated beneficial effects with the use of enteral immunonutrition containing various farmaconutrients such as L-arginine, omega-3, trace elements, but the in...

Hormonal and metabolic effects of polyunsaturated fatty acid (omega-3) on polycystic ovary syndrome induced rats under diet

Objective(s): PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) produces symptoms in approximately 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age (12–45 years old). It is thought to be one of the leading causes of female subfertility. This study aimed to confirm the role of nutrition containing omega-3 (polyunsaturated fatty acid) on control of experimental PCO induced by estradiol-valerat in rats. Materials and Method...

Influence of submandibulectomy on alveolar bone loss in rats.

BACKGROUND The incidence of dry mouth and its public health impact are increasing as the result of a progressively larger, medicated older population and because chronic diseases, like periodontitis, are prevalent pathologies among elderly patients. Periodontitis and continuous remodeling and rebuilding alveolar processes greatly affect the margin of the alveolar bone, and there is evidence ind...
