Possible Interaction: Arachidonic Acid and Fatty Acids, Omega-3

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Much of the literature on omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids suggests that desirable effects of omega-3 fatty acids are in part related to depletion of arachidonic acid (AA).
Prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and essential fatty acids  •  2002  |  View Paper
Marine n-3 PUFAs (eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) found in oily fish and fish oils decrease the ARA content of cells involved in immune responses and decrease the production of inflammatory eicosanoids from ARA.
British Journal of Nutrition  •  2012  |  View Paper
Omega-3 fatty acids exert potent anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic actions by interfering with the metabolism of arachidonic acid , modifying lipid composition (mainly lowering triglycerides), improving hemodynamics and reducing cardiac hypertrophy.
Current vascular pharmacology  •  2007  |  View Paper
Consumption of long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids decreases the amount of arachidonic acid in cell membranes and so available for eicosanoid production.
Prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and essential fatty acids  •  2006  |  View Paper
n-3 fatty acid supplementation has been shown to suppress the synthesis of the n-6 series of leukotrienes by competing and inhibiting the metabolism of arachidonic acid.

Since n-3 fatty acids also antagonise the production of inflammatory eicosanoid mediators from arachidonic acid , there is potential for benefit in asthma and related diseases.

Although the mechanism of this effect remains unclear, we have reasoned that by altering arachidonic acid metabolism and prostaglandin synthesis, omega-3 fatty acids could change tumor protein breakdown rates and inhibit the proliferation potential of these tumors.

In the in vitro experiment, a platelet-inhibiting effect of omega-3 fatty acids was shown by an arachidonic acid agonist in MEA .
The Journal of international medical research  •  2018  |  View Paper
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may compete with AA for CYP450-dependent bioactive lipid mediator formation.
Nutrients  •  2018  |  View Paper
Supplementation with n-3 fatty acids is known to alter arachidonic acid metabolism and reduce the formation of the lipid peroxidation products F2-isoprostanes, but the effect of n-3 fatty acids on 20-HETE has not been studied.
