Incorporación de ácidos grasos de aceite de calamar a lipoproteínas plasmáticas en ratas. / [Incorporation of squid oil fatty acids to plasma lipoproteins in rats]

ABSTRACT

There is clinical and epidemiologic evidence that long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids of the n-3 series, (AGPI n-3) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA 205 n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (226 n-3) decrease the incidence of heart attack, coronary restenosis and also platelet aggregation, leukotriene synthesis and arterial pressure. They also decrease significantly the severity of atherosclerosis in hyperlipidemic models. Some of these results are obtained after daily intake of 3g or more of AGPI n-3. Marine oils are very rich in AGPI n-3 but rarely the amount is larger than 20
