The influence of fish consumption on polyunsaturated fatty acid status

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have an important role in immune function(1), cardiovascular health(2) and foetal development(3). Participants consuming two portions of fish per week had significantly higher concentrations of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and total n-3 P...

Description
Summary:Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have an important role in immune function(1), cardiovascular health(2) and foetal development(3). Participants consuming two portions of fish per week had significantly higher concentrations of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and total n-3 PUFA than those consuming one portion or zero portions.
