“The comparative reductions of the plasma lipids and lipoproteins by dietary polyunsaturated fats: Salmon oil versus vegetable oils. The effects of dietary omega 3 fatty acids on platelet composition and function in man: a prospective, controlled study.”

“The research on dietary fats found that they are not associated with major cardiovascular disease, but higher fat consumption was associated with lower mortality; this was seen for all major types of fats (saturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, and monounsaturated fats), with saturated fats being associated with lower stroke risk.”

“Participants received two health checkups six years apart. The researchers measured omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fats in the participants' blood and collected data on body weight, medication use, physical activity, and other lifestyle factors.”

“This study used canola oil which is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) as are other vegetable oils such as soy and corn. PUFAs are prone to oxidation which was shown to be the mechanism causing damage in this study.”

“The trial investigated whether replacing saturated fat with vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid (a polyunsaturated fat) reduced coronary heart disease and death by lowering serum cholesterol.”

“Many people with depression do not respond to antidepressant therapies. A new study suggests that omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial in treating symptoms of depression. Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats that are essential for human health.”

“Promoting lipogenesis (fat storage) by increasing fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis, while inhibiting lipolysis (fat breakdown). Stimulating amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle and inhibiting protein breakdown.”

“Interestingly, the researchers found that severely restricting the TXNIP-deficient animals’ glucose intake by feeding them a ketogenic diet for five weeks mitigated the stress-induced deficit in mitochondrial function and reversed the detrimental changes to the polyunsaturated fat content of their mitochondrial membranes.”

“Findings from a 2016 study showed that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), increased hypothalamic neurogenesis in mice. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid found in the human brain and the meat of fatty fish.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest that women who take omega-3 fatty acids are 1.5 times more likely to conceive than those who do not. Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats that play critical roles in human health throughout the lifespan.”
