Health Implications of High Dietary Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids [PDF]
Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2012 Omega-6 (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (e.g., arachidonic acid (AA)) and omega-3 (n-3) PUFA (e.g., eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)) are precursors to potent lipid mediator signalling molecules, termed “eicosanoids,” which have important roles in the regulation of inflammation.
