Role of Omega-3 fatty acids

Abstract: Fatty acids are a fundamental component of the human diet, particularly poly-

unsaturated fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The importance of omega-3 fatty acids has been studied in the context of many diseases due to their pleiotropic effects,

focusing on the anti-inflammatory effects of EPA and DHA. Currently, the results of these acids in non-communicable diseases are being increasingly assessed in a broader context than just inflammation.

However, the mechanisms underlying the modulatory and anti-inflammatory effects of omega-3 fatty acids remain the subject of intensive research. Therefore, we reviewed the literature covering articles from the last decade to assess not only the anti-inflammatory but, above all, the modulatory effect of EPA and DHA acids on noncommunicable diet-related diseases.
