Several sources of information suggest that human beings evolved on a diet with a ratio of
omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA) of∼ 1 whereas in Western diets the ratio is …

Several sources of information suggest that man evolved on a diet with a ratio of ω6 to ω3
fatty acids of∼ 1 whereas today this ratio is∼ 10: 1 to 20–25: 1, indicating that Western diets …

In the past 2 decades, views about dietary n− 3 fatty acids have moved from speculation
about their functions to solid evidence that they are not only essential nutrients but also may …

Consumption of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) is associated with a reduced
incidence of coronary arterial diseases. Dietary n-3 PUFAs act via several mechanisms …

Background: Epidemiologic studies, studies of mechanisms of action, and many animal
studies indicate that dietary intake of ω-3 fatty acids has antiatherosclerotic potential. Few …

The mechanisms by which dietary fatty acids can modulate atherogenesis and inflammation
are poorly understood. Induction in endothelial cells of adhesion molecules for circulating …

Background—Once-or twice-weekly consumption of fish (or a small amount of fish intake)
reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac death in Western countries. It …

The interaction of genetics and environment, nature, and nurture is the foundation for all
health and disease. In the last two decades, using the techniques of molecular biology, it …

Abstract Dietary omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids have a variety of anti-inflammatory and immune-
modulating effects that may be of relevance to atherosclerosis and its clinical manifestations …

ContextSome prospective studies have shown an inverse association between fish intake
and risk of stroke, but none has examined the relationship of fish and omega-3 …
