Proper membrane physiology requires maintenance of biophysical properties, which must
be buffered from external perturbations. While homeostatic adaptation of membrane fluidity …

Abstract (n-3) PUFA are a family of biologically active fatty acids. The simplest member of
this family, a-linolenic acid, can be converted to the more biologically active very long-chain …

Background Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n3-PUFAs) may exert beneficial effects
on the immune system of patients with viral infections. This paper aimed to examine the …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can be classified in n− 3 fatty acids and n− 6 fatty acids,
and in westernized diet the predominant dietary PUFAs are n− 6 fatty acids. Both types of …

Numerous effects of n-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA on functional responses of cells involved
in inflammation and immunity have been described. Fatty acid-induced modifications in …

Lipid rafts are cholesterol-and sphingomyelin-enriched microdomains that provide a highly
saturated and viscous physico-chemical microenvironment to promote protein-lipid and …

The immune system, including its inflammatory components, is fundamental to host defence
against pathogenic invaders. It is a complex system involving interactions amongst many …
