The n-3 or omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are a promising dietary preventive therapy for cardiovascular disease. The main dietary source of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids comes from sea fish. During recent years, the subject of antiarrhythmic role of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids has been investigated extensively. A great deal of evidence has shown that the antiarrhythmic effect of n-3 ...

Patterns of polyunsaturated fatty acids of serum phospholipids were measured for groups of alcoholics without cirrhosis, alcoholics with cirrhosis, cirrhotics without alcoholism, and a control population. Alcoholics without cirrhosis showed increased polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from linoleic and linolenic acids, but in cirrhotics these products were decreased. Alcoholism accentuated the...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate whether omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are able to modify platelet responsiveness to dual antiplatelet therapy in stable coronary artery disease patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND Although previous studies have suggested antiplatelet properties of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, it ...

background and aim: omega 3 of essential fatty acids, especially in fish oil form plays an important role in structural, functional, and biological aspects in body. omega 3 deficiency can have devastating effects on the nervous system and auditory. this study aimed to evaluate auditory threshold in n-3 fatty acid-deficient rat pups following supplementation of fish oil consumption during the suc...

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...

conclusions our results showed that vitamin e plus omega free fatty acids decrease the severity of mastodynia better than vitamin e alone. results vitamin e plus omega free fatty acids are more effective than the use of vitamin e alone in decreasing mastodynia. significant difference was seen between the cardiff breast score (cbs) of the vitamin e group compared to vitamin e - omega group (p < ...

In humans, the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) linoleic acid (18:2 omega-6, or n-6) and alpha-linolenic (18:3 omega-3, or n3) are ’essential’ for normal growth and function; the only source is dietary. Research into the omega-3 series of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids stems from the observation that the native Inuit (Eskimo) of Greenland (who consume a traditional diet rich in fish oi...
