Omega-3 Fatty Acids: All the Same, or Different from One Another?

Monday, May 1, 2023
2:25 PM – 4:30 PM MDT
Room:203

There is ongoing debate regarding the omega-6–omega-3 ratio. A talk will explore the impact of an omega-3 diet using a hamster model and suggest that the balance of omega-3 sources should be considered. Another presenter will focus on marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids and their role in anti-inflammatory action. Also, a new omega-3 fatty acid in canola oil is safe, effective, and has a positive environmental impact. A recent in vitro study comparing linolenic acid (ALA), stearidonic acid (SDA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) found that EPA and DHA had stronger anti-inflammatory action than ALA and SDA.
