Abstract:The linoleic acid (LA)‐arachidonic acid (ARA)‐inflammatory axis suggests dietary LA lowering benefits health because it lowers ARA and ARA‐derived endocannabinoids (ECB). Dietary LA reduction increases concentrations of omega‐3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and DHA derived ECB. The aim of this study was to examine targeted reduction of dietary LA, with and without EPA and DHA, on plasma EPA and DHA and ECB (2‐arachidonoyl glycerol [2‐AG], anandamide [AEA], and docosahexaenoyl ethan… Show more
