Investigation of the mechanisms underlying the vascular relaxation mediated by n-3 PUFAs (fish oils), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), in resistance and conduit arteries
2019-01-01
Abstract excerpt
There is extensive evidence demonstrating the protective effects of fish oils or omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) against cardiovascular diseases. It is widely accepted that the main n-3 PUFAs involved with these therapeutic effects are DHA and EPA. These PUFAs have been reported to reduce blood pressure by improving various vasodilation pathways. However, most of these studies focus on either DHA o...
