Omega-3 fatty acids upregulate adult neurogenesis.
Omega-3 fatty acids play crucial roles in the development and function of the central nervous system. These components, which must be obtained from dietary sources, have been implicated in a variety of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, the presence of omega-6 fatty acids may interfere with omega-3 fatty acid metabolism. The present study investigated whether changes in ...
متن کاملThe role of omega-3 fatty acids in adult hippocampal neurogenesis
Neurogenesis is the process of generation of new neurons from neuronal precursor cells, and was first described in adult mammals in 1965, where it was identified in rodents (Altman and Das, 1965). Adult neurogenesis has subsequently been shown to occur in two specific regions of the adult brain, the subventricular zone of the olfactory bulb and the subgranular layer of the hippocampal dentate g...
متن کاملOmega-3 Fatty Acids and Heart Disease
The potential for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease through increased dietary intake of omega-3 (ω-3) fish oils is not a recent scientific discovery. A historically important study in 1980 reported that high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the diet of the Inuit people of Greenland were linked to a lower rate of death from acute myocardial infarction compared to the Danish ...
متن کاملDietary Sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
As for saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, the omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are chemically linked to fat structures known as triglycerides in the various foods and oils that are consumed. The natural triglyceride or fat structure consists of a 3-carbon glycerol backbone onto which 3 long-chain fatty acids of varying types and structures are linked or 'esterified...
متن کامل[Omega-3 fatty acids in psychiatry].
The brain is one of the organs with the highest level of lipids (fats). Brain lipids, formed of fatty acids, participate in the structure of membranes, for instance 50 % fatty acids are polyunsaturated in the gray matter, 1/3 are of the omega-3 family, and are thus of dietary origin. The omega-3 fatty acids (mainly alpha-linolenic acid, ALA) participated in one of the first experimental demonst...
