Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2011Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are naturally occurring omega (ω)-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which are found in highest quantities in oily fish such as sardines and mackerel. Epidemiological studies of the association between fish intake, ω-3 PUFA intake or blood ω-3 PUFA levels and colorectal cancer ...

Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Their Health Benefits
Annual Review of Food Science and Technology, 2018Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) include α-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3 ω-3), stearidonic acid (SDA; 18:4 ω-3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5 ω-3), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA; 22:5 ω-3), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6 ω-3). In the past few decades, many epidemiological studies have been conducted on the myriad health benefits of omega ...

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and brain aging
Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2015The literature on the influence of dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (ω-3 PUFA) on brain aging has grown exponentially during the last decade. Many avenues have been explored but no global picture or clear evidence has emerged. Experimental studies have shown that ω-3 PUFA is involved in many neurobiological processes that are involved in ...

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the treatment of hypertriglyceridaemia
International Journal of Cardiology, 2013Hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease; high-risk patients with HTG, such as those with metabolic syndrome or diabetes, may benefit from hypolipidaemic therapies. Several lipid-lowering drugs act by reducing triglyceride (TG) levels, including fibrates, nicotinic acid and omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Cancer
2021Naturally occurring fatty acids can be classified into three categories based on the number of double bonds in side-chain. These are saturated fatty acids, (no double bonds), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs, a single double bond), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs, ≥2 double bonds).

Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Depression: A Review of the Evidence
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2009Brain lipids contain a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which are a main component of cell membranes. Omega-3 (omega-3) PUFA eicosapentaeoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are the most common PUFA in the brain.
