Current evidence suggests that at least part of the cardioprotective benefits of consumption of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) relates to their incorporation into the phospholipids of cardiac cell membranes. Dietary supplementation with purified extracts of n-3 PUFAs derived from fish oil rapidly alters the composition of fatty acids in blood cell membranes and in other tissues. The present review summarises the time-course and dose-dependent incorporation and washout of n-3 PUFAs in the clinical setting and discusses the implications of these pharmacokinetic data in terms of biological effects.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.
