Heterothermic mammals increase the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in their body fats prior to entering torpor. Because PUFA have low melting points, it is thought that they play an important role in maintaining the fluidity of depot fats and membrane phospholipids at low body ...
In this context, it is important that a brief review on the metabolism of AA is discussed. AA metabolism Essential fatty acids (EFAs) namely: cis-linoleic acid (18:2n-6) and α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3), are also designated as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) since they ...
Despite early interest in the health effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), there is still substantial controversy and uncertainty on the evidence linking PUFA to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). We investigated the effect of plasma concentration of omega-3 PUFA (i.e. docosahexaenoic acid (DH...
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are a category of fatty acids that contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which constitute a substantial portion of the Western diet and are vital for maintaining human wellness. The extent to which circulating PUFAs influence the effects of BMI on leukocyt...
Aim for a balanced intake of different types of fats, including monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and a moderate amount of saturated fats. A balanced fat intake supports optimal hormone function and overall well-being. 3. Moderation Fat is calorie-dense, so it’s important to consume it in moder...

To remedy this, the researchers established higher protein intakes (1.6-2.5 g / kg / day) and emphasize the consumption of leucine-rich foods.About 1/3 of your body fat should come from each type of fat (i.e. 1/3 saturated fat, 1/3 monounsaturated fat and 1/3 polyunsaturated fat)....
N-3 PUFA (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are a family of fatty acids mainly found in oily fish and fish oil supplements. The effects of n-3 PUFA on health are mainly derived from its anti-inflammatory proprieties and its influence on immune function. Lately an increased interest...
