The impact of fatty acid desaturase genotype on fatty acid status and cardiovascular health in adults.

The Proceedings of the Nutrition Society - 1 Feb 2017

O'Neill Colette M, Minihane Anne-Marie

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this review was to determine the impact of the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) genotype on plasma and tissue concentrations of the long-chain (LC) n-3 PUFA, including EPA and DHA, which are associated with the risk of several diet-related chronic diseases, including CVD. In addition to dietary intakes, which are low for many individuals, tissue EPA and DHA are also influenced by the rate of bioconversion...
