Evaluation of the Relationship between Endometriosis and Omega-3 and Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
Background: Endometriosis is a common chronic inflammation causing major problems including infertility. The role of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as their potential anti-inflammatory effects in endometriosis needs to be further explored. The objective of this study was to compare serum phospholipid fatty acid profile in endometriosis patients with controls, and to explore the correlation of ...
متن کاملOmega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and cardiovascular diseases.
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (omega-3 PUFA) therapy continues to show great promise in primary and, particularly in secondary prevention of cardiovascular (CV) diseases. The most compelling evidence for CV benefits of omega-3 PUFA comes from 4 controlled trials of nearly 40,000 participants randomized to receive eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) with or without docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in stu...
متن کاملOmega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Heart Rate Variability
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) may modulate autonomic control of the heart because omega-3 PUFA is abundant in the brain and other nervous tissue as well as in cardiac tissue. This might partly explain why omega-3 PUFA offer some protection against sudden cardiac death (SCD). The autonomic nervous system is involved in the pathogenesis of SCD. Heart rate variability (HRV) can be use...
متن کاملOmega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and vegetarian diets.
While intakes of the omega-3 fatty acid α-linolenic acid (ALA) are similar in vegetarians and non-vegetarians, intakes of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are low in vegetarians and virtually absent in vegans. Plasma, blood and tissue levels of EPA and DHA are lower in vegetarians than in non-vegetarians, although the clinical significance of this is unknown. Vegetaria...
متن کاملOmega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and cardiac rhythm: an introduction
The effective management of cardiac arrhythmias, either of atrial or of ventricular origin, remains a major challenge for the cardiologist. Sudden cardiac death most frequently due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias (Hinkle and Thaler, 1982; Bayes de Luna et al., 1989; Greene, 1990) remains the leading cause of death in industrially developed countries, accounting for between 300,000 and 500,000 d...
