Fatty acid desaturase genetic variations and dietary omega-3 fatty acid intake associate with arterial stiffness
1 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Aims: Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) generate diverse bioactive lipid mediators, which tightly regulate vascular inflammation. The effects of omega-3 PUFA supplementation in cardiovascular prevention however remain controversial. In addition to direct dietary intake, fatty acid desaturases (FADS) determine PUFA levels. Increased arterial stiffness represents an independent predictor of mortality...
