[HTML][HTML] The biochemistry of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids* 210
DB Jump - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002 - ASBMB
Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) 1 have effects on diverse physiological
processes impacting normal health and chronic disease, such as the regulation of plasma
lipid levels (1–4), cardiovascular (5–7) and immune function (8), insulin action (9, 10), and
neuronal development and visual function (11)(see Table I, supplemental material).
Ingestion of n-3 PUFA will lead to their distribution to virtually every cell in the body with
effects on membrane composition and function, eicosanoid synthesis, and signaling as well …
