Background and Purpose—We hypothesized that total marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty
acids (PUFA), in particular eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) …

α-Linolenic acid (αLNA; 18: 3n-3) is essential in the human diet, probably because it is the
substrate for the synthesis of longer-chain, more unsaturated n-3 fatty acids, principally EPA …

Background Habitual intake of long‐chain omega‐3 fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic
and docosahexaenoic acid (EPA+ DHA) from fish, has been associated with a lower risk of …

Epidemiologic studies have shown a beneficial association between polyunsaturated fatty
acid (PUFA), specifically linoleic acid (C18: 2, n-6), intake and cardiovascular disease …

Objective: To investigate the effects of increased alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)-intake on intima–
media thickness (IMT), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) antibodies, soluble …

Background and aims There are few prospective studies on fatty acid status in relation to
incident stroke, with inconsistent results. We assessed the associations of plasma n-6 and n …

Background The benefit of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) supplementation for
mortality and cardiovascular events after myocardial infarction is well documented, but the …

ObjectiveRecent research indicates that n–3 fatty acids can inhibit cognitive decline,
perhaps differentially by hypertensive status. DesignWe tested these hypotheses in a …

Background and aims Higher intake of fish or n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has
been associated with reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). However, it is unclear …

The outcome of a total dietary approach using a wide range of n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty
acids (PUFA) enriched food items on cardiovascular diseases called for further investigation …
