Abstract
Cardiovascular disease continues to have an enormous impact on the world's health and economy, making it all the more urgent that health-care practitioners find and implement low-cost prevention strategies. Dietary intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), specifically the n-3 PUFAs found in fish (commonly known as omega-3s), could serve as a perfect solution, but the lack of understanding of how PUFAs work--and continuing controversy over whether they really do work--has made it nearly impossible to properly implement their use in the clinic. Here, Anderson and Taylor determine how n-3 PUFAs function in normal metabolism in order to develop proper therapeutic paradigms and to clarify their effectiveness in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
