Mechanisms of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids.
| Linoleic acid inhibits eicosapentaenoic acid incorporation from dietary fish oil supplements in human subjects |
| Linoleic acid increases low-density lipoprotein oxidation and severity of coronary atherosclerosis |
| As the omega-6/omega-3 ratio decreases, so does the platelet aggregation |
| Plasma omega-6/omega-3 ratio and inflammatory markers (the omega-6/omega-3 ratio is a strong negative correlate of IL-10) |
| Omega-3 fatty acids downregulate the expression of genes involved in inflammation and obesity |
| A Lower omega-6/omega-3 ratio as part of a mediterranean diet decreases vascular endothelial growth factor |
| Decreasing linoleic acid with constant α-linolenic acid in dietary fat increases eicosapentaenoic acid in plasma phospholipids in healthy men |
