Fish Oils in Human Health
نویسنده
چکیده
Fish oils, rich in n-3 PUFA, give rise to an altered balance of eicosanoids involved in haemostatic regulation. Accordingly they lead to reduced platelet sensetivity to aggregating agents in vitro. Observational studies in man using cross-sectional studies, clinical studies and secondary prevention trials have shown that moderate intakes of fish oil reduces risk of death from coronary heart disease but not necessarily from major coronary heart disease but not necessarily from major coronary events. Improved vasodilation may be involved. Fish oils may also lower post-prandial response to fat ingestion.

Review Article: The importance of Omega-3 fatty acids in fish on human health
Heart failure (HF) incidence increases worldwide and is affected by various risk factors such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. Dietary recommendations for patients with HF have generally focused on sodium restriction; however, different nutritional approaches are considered in patients with a high risk of malnutrition due to the diuretic drugs they use. Omega-3 f...
متن کاملMercury, selenium and fish oils in marine food webs and implications for human health
Humans who eat fish are exposed to mixtures of healthful nutrients and harmful contaminants that are influenced by environmental and ecological factors. Marine fisheries are composed of a multitude of species with varying life histories, and harvested in oceans, coastal waters and estuaries where environmental and ecological conditions determine fish exposure to both nutrients and contaminants....
متن کاملDietary sources, current intakes, and nutritional role of omega-3 docosapentaenoic acid
Fish oils and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids are well recognized for their critical role in human diets. Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA, 22 : 5n-3) has always been a part of healthy nutrition, since infants obtain almost as much DPA as DHA from human milk. Fish oil supplements and ingredients, oily fish, and grass-fed beef can serve as the primary DPA sources for the general population. Although th...
متن کاملSubstitution of dietary fish oil with plant oils is associated with shortened mid intestinal folds in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
BACKGROUND Fish meal and fish oil are increasingly replaced by ingredients from terrestrial sources in the feeds for farmed salmonids due to expanding production and reduced availability of marine feed raw material. Fish oil that is rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is considered beneficial to human health in general and to prevent intestinal inflammation and carcinogenesis in particular....
متن کاملAlternative Sources of Omega-3 Fats: Can We Find a Sustainable Substitute for Fish?
Increasing demand for eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) containing fish oils is putting pressure on fish species and numbers. Fisheries provide fish for human consumption, supplement production and fish feeds and are currently supplying fish at a maximum historical rate, suggesting mass-scale fishing is no longer sustainable. However, the health properties of EPA and DH...
