Anti-inflammatory effects of omega 3 and omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome

Abstract: A lipid excess produces a systemic inflammation process due to tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein synthesis. Simultaneously, this fat excess promotes the appearance of insulin resistance. All this contributes to the development of atherosclerosis and increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). On the other hand, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (omega 3), and arachidonic acid (omega 6) have shown anti-inflammator… Show more

“…Introduction Persistent inflammation is a major factor that contributes to the development and progression of many chronic diseases (Laveti et al, 2013). Diet, particularly the amount and type of dietary fatty acids consumed, plays a significant role in the development, progression, prevention, and reversal of several inflammatory diseases (Jho et al, 2004;Poudyal et al, 2011;Sijben and Calder, 2007;Tortosa-Caparros et al, 2017;Tur et al, 2012;Zarate et al, 2017). Epidemiological studies indicate an inverse association between inflammatory disease and the intake and tissue concentrations of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) (Jew et al, 2009).…”

“…Our finding that moderate intake of n-6 PUFA actually reduced non-isolated IFG provides additional support for some of the beneficial effects of this type of PUFA. More research exists regarding the impact of n-3 PUFA on diabetes or blood glucose (57) ; however, these findings should generate further discussion about the possible health benefits of n-6 PUFA and their role on blood glucose regulation as well as overall disease risk, which is still poorly understood (58) .…”

“…Ruderalia, Punica granatum, Rosa micrantha, and Trifolium angustifolium ( Table 2). Both fatty acids have important roles in human growth and development, as well as in the prevention and treatment of coronary artery diseases, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, other inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, and cancer [40][41][42][43][44]. So, the presence of ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids in edible flowers could be a way to promote their consumption and inclusion in the human diet.…”
