چکیده

Many epidemiologic, observational and randomized human clinical trials have demonstrated beyond doubt the protective cardiovascular effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Cardiac myocytes protection by omega-3 PUFAs involves several mechanisms which might have a synergistic effect. This review provides a summary of the in vitro and in vivo effects of omega-3 PUFAs on cardiac myocytes health and reports the outcome of a number of clinical trials in patients consuming omega-3 PUFAs.

New facts on the cardioprotective role of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids

There is already important evidence regarding the beneficial effects of omega 3-polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega 3-PUFAs) on cardiac protection. Initial epidemiological observations on people who consumed large quantities of fish revealed higher life-expectancy and fewer cardiovascular events in comparison with subjects who consumed less fish. This possible link between fish consumption and c...

Zooplankton and their protective effects on cardiovascular diseases

In the world-wide cardiovascular diseases are the most common. And mortallities are high. Many modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases have been identified. One of them is diets. In diet polyunsaturated fatty acids such omega-3 and omega-6 have protective effects on cardiovascular health. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are essentials for humans, have taken from foods...

The effect of omega- 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on endothelial tight junction occludin expression in rat aorta during lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation

Objective(s): Occludin is essential for proper assembly of tight junctions (TJs) which regulate paracellular endothelial permeability. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Ω-3 PUFA) protect endothelial barrier function against injury. Materials and Methods: We examined anti-inflammatory effect of Ω-3 PUFA intake (30 mg/kg/day for 10 days) on expression and location of occludin in the aorta of ...

[Antiarrhythmia effects of omega-3 fatty acids. A review].

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have been effective in reducing cardiovascular mortality in the recent GISSI-Prevenzione study. In a post-hoc analysis of this study an important observation has been the reduction of sudden cardiac death. The hypothesis that a protection from sudden death occurs because of antiarrhythmic effects of omega-3 fatty acids is supported by studies on cellular and ...

Omega-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...
