Efficacy of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid in Depression
Omega-3 PUFAs are the essential fatty acids used to produce Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) from EPA, they then synthesize DHA. EPA can decrease the production of arachidonic acid by inhibiting delta-5-desaturase activity. In the cyclooxygenase enzyme system, EPA may compete with arachidonic acid for phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and help block the process of proinflammatory eicosanoid synthesis from […]
