Low dietary fish-oil threshold for myocardial membrane n-3 PUFA enrichment independent of n-6 PUFA intake in rats
Long chain n-3 PUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is important for heart and brain function. Investigations of biologically plausible mechanisms using animal models associate cardioprotection with DHA incorporation into myocardial membranes that are largely derived from supra-physiological fish oil (FO...
