Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to regulate gene transcription and expression, thus altering enzyme synthesis. They have also been shown to modify several risk factors for coronary heart disease, including a reduction of serum triglycerides and blood pressure. In addition, both epidemiological and clinical trials have demonstrated an inverse relationship between Omega-3 and heart disease.
Furthermore, fatty acids are required for maintaining the structure of cell membranes and permeability of the skin. They are also precursors of eicosanoids, such as prostaglandins and thromboxanes, and are essential components in cholesterol transport and metabolism.
