Omega-3 fatty acids, zinc and probiotics supplements in cystic fibrosis
In humans, the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) linoleic acid (18:2 omega-6, or n-6) and alpha-linolenic (18:3 omega-3, or n3) are ’essential’ for normal growth and function; the only source is dietary. Research into the omega-3 series of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids stems from the observation that the native Inuit (Eskimo) of Greenland (who consume a traditional diet rich in fish oi...
متن کاملOmega-3 fatty acids for cardioprotection.
The most compelling evidence for the cardiovascular benefit provided by omega-3 fatty acids comes from 3 large controlled trials of 32,000 participants randomized to receive omega-3 fatty acid supplements containing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or to act as controls.
