The omega-6/omega-3 fatty acid ratio: health implications
The Center for Genetics, Nutrition and Health, 2001 S Street, NW, Suite 530, Washington DC 20009 USA Abstract: Today, Western diets are characterized by a higher omega-6 and a lower omega-3 fatty acid intake, whereas during the Paleolithic period when human’s genetic profile was established, there was a balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Their balance is an...
متن کاملOmega-6 to Omega-3 Fatty Acid Ratio in Patients with ADHD: A Meta-Analysis.
OBJECTIVE Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids have been shown to be deficient in individuals with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder compared to controls (Hawkey & Nigg, 2014). Clinical trials of omega-3 and omega-6 supplements as treatment for ADHD have demonstrated minimal efficacy (Bloch & Qawasmi, 2011; Gillies, Sinn, Lad, Leach, & Ross, 2011; Hawkey & Nigg, 2014; Puri & Martins, 2014; So...
متن کاملDried blood spot omega-3 and omega-6 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid levels in 7–9 year old Zimbabwean children: a cross sectional study
BACKGROUND Omega-3 long chain-polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs)-docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)- and omega-6 LC-PUFA arachidonic acid (ARA), are essential for optimum physical and mental development in children. Prior to this study, the blood omega-3 LC-PUFA levels were unknown in Zimbabwean children, particularly in those aged 7-9 ye...
متن کاملOmega-6/omega-3 ratio and brain-related functions.
While the general public typically perceives lipids and fats as 'harmful' components of the diet (as in the popular slogan: 'fat kills'), the scientific story is in fact very different. Among the major scientific research efforts of the recent period, in the area of neuroscience, we find the recognition of the 'essential fatty acids' (EFA). The profound effects of various fatty acids, and equal...
متن کاملMental retardation is associated with plasma omega-3 fatty acid levels and the omega-3/omega-6 ratio in children.
There is evidence that alteration in plasma fatty acid composition may play a role in certain neurological disorders. This case control study was conducted to evaluate the association between plasma fatty acid levels and mental retardation in Korean children. Plasma phospholipid fatty acids, plasma lipids, dietary fatty acids and selected nutrients were measured in 31 mentally retarded boys (me...
