Omega-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...
متن کاملOmega-3 Fatty Acids and FFAR4
The beneficial roles of omega-3 fatty acids (ω3-FAs) on obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic diseases are well known. Most of these effects can be explained by their anti-inflammatory effects triggered through their receptor, free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4) activation. Although the whole mechanism of action is not fully described yet, it has been shown that stimulation of ω3-FA to F...
متن کاملOmega-3 fatty acids and blood pressure.
There is substantial evidence that omega-3 fatty acids reduce blood pressure, with a greater effect in hypertensive patients and those with high-normal blood pressure. The dose of omega-3 fatty acids required to achieve a blood pressure reduction is likely to be at least 3-4 g/day. However, the magnitude of the blood pressure change can be increased by salt restriction or when omega-3 fatty aci...
