“…The eicosanoids are potent signaling molecules, and n-3 and n-6 eicosanoids act at selective receptor sites in nearly every tissue of the human body [5]. The cysteinyl leukotriene eicosanoids are potent bronchoconstrictors formed by 5-lipoxygenase and leukotriene C synthase after phospholipase releases the n-3 and n-6 HUFA precursors from tissue membrane phospholipids [19]. Both n-3 and n-6 leukotrienes can increase bronchopulmonary distress in asthma and COPD, however formation of n-6 LTC 4 is more intense than n-3 LTC 5 [20] [21].…”

Foods currently eaten by Americans have abundant amounts of essential omega-6 (n-6) nutrients and relatively few omega-3 (n-3) nutrients. The average omega 3-6 balance score of typical US foods is about −6. This imbalance causes the average American to accumulate tissue proportions of n-3 and n-6 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) with about 77% n-6 in HUFA. This HUFA balance links to many chronic health conditions that are made worse by overabundant actions of food-based omega-6 HUFA. Americans currently spend more on treating food-based health conditions than they spend on food. Less medication is needed to treat signs and symptoms when a key dietary cause of the signs and symptoms is prevented. Informed food producers can readily prepare and market new food products with more n-3 and less n-6 nutrients to reverse the current national nutrient imbalance and help people attain and maintain a healthy HUFA balance. New functional foods and nutraceuticals will help consumers shift their financial resources from treating signs and symptoms caused by HUFA imbalance to preventing the nutrient imbalance that causes the need to treat.

“…At present, epidemiological studies mainly focus on the side effects of saturated fat and the positive effects of unsaturated fatty acids. Studies have shown that the consumption of saturated fat is positively correlated with the mortality of coronary heart disease, and other studies believe that the consumption of sh oil is negatively correlated with the mortality of coronary heart disease (Krisetherton et al, 2002). However, the existing studies have not taken into account the body's real needs for fat, and most of them are short-term studies based on high fat or disease models(Gauze-Gnagne et al, 2020; Adil et al, 2018).…”

The effect of different oil-based diets on the blood index and the gut microbiota of rats was investigated. Rats in sample treatment groups were fed with stewed lard, refined lard, fish oil and soybean oil at a normal dose of 16.9% for 6 weeks. Compared with refined lard group, stewed lard treatment group showed reduced fasting blood sugar and blood lipid levels and improved nutrient absorption capacity of the intestine. The blood indexes of glucose (Glu), total cholesterol (TC) and total triglyceride (TG) in fish oil treatment group were relatively low. The abundance of Bacteroidetes in the fat-free group decreased, and the abundance of Firmicutes increased. The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio of the fish oil group was relatively low, and the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio of the stewed lard group and the soybean oil group was lower than that of the refined lard group. The abundance of Bacteroidaceae in the stewed pork fat group was increased. Research results show that fat-free diets will increase the risk of obesity to a certain extent; compared with refined lard, stewed lard, soybean oil and fish oil can reduce the risk of obesity to a certain extent; the addition and types of dietary fat will affect the abundance and diversity of rat intestinal flora.
