We reviewed available evidence for cardiovascular effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid
(PUFA) consumption, focusing on long chain (seafood) n-3 PUFA, including their principal …

Much evidence shows that the marine omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and
docosahexaenoic acid have beneficial effects in various cardiac disorders, and their use is …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) are important structural
components of the central nervous system. These fatty acids are transferred across the …

Considerable research supports cardiovascular benefits of consuming omega-3 PUFA, also
known as (n-3) PUFA, from fish or fish oil. Whether individual long-chain (n-3) PUFA have …

While gap junctions support the exchange of a number of molecules between neighboring
cells, connexin hemichannels provide communication between the cytosol and the …

The aim of this review is to discuss the accumulating evidence that suggests that grape
extracts and purified grape polyphenols possess a diverse array of biological actions and …

In addition to interacting with functional proteins such as receptors, ion channels, and
enzymes, a variety of drugs mechanistically act on membrane lipids to change the …

Voltage-gated sodium channels open (activate) when the membrane is depolarized and
close on repolarization (deactivate) but also on continuing depolarization by a process …

Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) affect a wide variety of physiological processes.
Much attention has been given to the n-3 PUFAs and their role in the prevention and …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) act on most ion channels, thereby having significant
physiological and pharmacological effects. In this review we summarize data from numerous …
