With aging and vascular disease, arterial elasticity diminishes, bringing with it increased risk of hypertension, stroke and cardiovascular mortality. The consumption of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), both long-chain docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and medium-chain alpha-linolenic acid, has modest blood pressure-lowering effects, but there is limited information about their effects on arterial elasticity. In a […]
Various studies have implicated low fish consumption or reduced blood levels of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAS) in the occurrence of various psychiatric disorders, alcoholism and among substance abusers. It has been known since 1996 that n-3 PUFAs, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), are reduced in major depression. A recent post-mortem analysis reported significantly lower […]
