| Abstract |
Experiments in animals and humans established that fish oils control heart diseases and the active components responsible are the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Several investigations have proved that fish oils have hypocholesterolemic and hypotriglyceridemic effects and can influence platelet aggregation and blood clotting. Incorporation of n-3 PUFA in cell mebranes changes their properties and plays a major role in controlling ventricular fibrillation and subsequent mortality. n-3 PUFA and the lipoprotein fractions containing them are susceptible to oxidation and antioxidants like vitamin E can counter this effect. |
