The omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA), are found in seafood (especially fatty fish), supplements and concentrated …

EPA and DHA appear to be the most important n-3 fatty acids, but roles for n-3
docosapentaenoic acid are now also emerging. Intakes of EPA and DHA are usually low …

Abstract Recently, omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAs) have
gained substantial interest due to their specific structure and biological functions. Humans …

Many clinical and animal studies demonstrate the importance of long-chain polyunsaturated
fatty acids (LCPUFA) in neural development and neurodegeneration. This review will focus …

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 …
