We have previously suggested that the ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA) may in part function by enhancing membrane lipid phase separation into lipid …

Obesity is a growing problem that threatens the health and welfare of a large proportion of
the human population. The n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are dietary factors that …

In recent years, there has been growing public awareness of the potential health benefits of
dietary fatty acids, and of the distinction between the effects of the ω6 and ω3 …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic
acid (ARA), play fundamental roles in mammalian physiology. Although PUFA imbalance …

n− 3 PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids), ie DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), found in fish oil,
exhibit anti-inflammatory properties; however, the molecular mechanisms remain unclear …

Adipose tissue has a key role in the development of metabolic syndrome (MS), which
includes obesity, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia, hypertension and other disorders. Systemic …

Omega-3 (or n-3) fatty acids are fats found within foods and body tissues. They are unique
because of the following characteristics: Structurally they appear as a long hydrocarbon …

Abstract (n-3) PUFA are a family of biologically active fatty acids. The simplest member of
this family, a-linolenic acid, can be converted to the more biologically active very long-chain …

PUFAs are known to regulate cholesterol synthesis and cellular uptake by multiple
mechanisms that do not involve SFAs. Polymorphisms in any of the numerous proteins …
