The role of polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1986
The physical properties of polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids are compared in relation to melting points and fluidity. The role of polyunsaturated fatty acids on membrane fluidity and membrane bound enzyme activity is discussed. The influence of the environment, particularly temperature, on poikilothermic animals is considered in relation to ...

Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Neuro-Inflammation

2006
Inflammation is an active defense reaction against diverse insults that aims at neutralizing noxious agents. Although inflammation serves a protective function in controlling infection and promoting tissue repair, it can also cause tissue damage. Inflammatory mediators include complement, adhesion molecules, products of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes ...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids and cardiac arrhythmia

Biochemical Society Transactions, 1990
lschacmic heart disease is a major cause of death in the western world. The manifestation of this disease can be chest pain, heart attack or sudden cardiac death. Coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality is positively related to dietary saturated fat [I] . Such diets are correspondingly low in polyunsaturated fatty acids, in particular linoleic acid [2].

Polyunsaturated fatty acids and rheumatoid arthritis

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2001
Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by infiltration of T lymphocytes, macrophages and plasma cells into the synovium, and the initiation of a chronic inflammatory state that involves overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines and a dysregulated T-helper-1-type response.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids

Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2011
Eicosapentaenoic 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 ...
