Cardiovascular Protective Effects of n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids With Special Emphasis on Docosahexaenoic Acid
It is widely accepted that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) rich in fish oils protect against several types of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, or hypertension. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) may be the active biol...
