Feeding docosahexaenoic acid to pigs reduces blood triglycerides and induces gene expression for fat oxidation

2011-12-01

Abstract excerpt

The essential fatty acids required in diets of humans are linoleic acid (18:2n-6:LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n-3: ALA), and these can be elongated and desaturated to form long-chain omega-6 or omega-3, respectively. Even though not considered essential, consumption of long-chain omega-3 fatty acid is recommended for health benefits, including protection against cardiovascular disease. The omega-3 fatty acid,...
