We conclude that dietary changes can have a profound influence on prostaglandin and thromboxane synthesis of organ systems. A better insight into underlying mechanisms is necessary before more definite advice with respect to feeding a linolenic acid and very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids as found in fish oils can be given.
