Omega 3 Fatty Acid Inhibits the Onset of Acute Dyslipidemia

By Kyle J. Norton

Fat including cholesterol and triglycerides consists of hydrocarbon molecules.

Dyslipidemia is a condition of abnormal levels of lipids in their blood.

Hyperlipidemia is a medical condition characterized by abnormally high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream.

Overexpression of cholesterol levels in the bloodstream has been linked to plaques accumulation on the arterial walls, a major cause of some forms of heart disease and stroke.

Cholesterol is the type of fat produced by the liver or from fat intake playing a critical role in the building of strong cell walls, production of vitamin D and steroid hormones and bile acid to aid digestion in the small intestine.

Cholesterol produced by the liver in a healthy individual is returned to the liver by high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

The healthy ratio of HDL/LDL cholesterol is any numbers that are less than 1/4.

On the other hand, triglyceride is fat in the blood that comes from the outside source used by the body to convert to energy.

Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.

The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Triglyceride is stored in the fat cells used to produced energy between meals and in the case when food is scarce.

Compared to cholesterol, triglycerides in high levels also associated with the risk of heart disease, particularly in people with high levels of LDL and low levels of HDL.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of diseases associated with high blood cholesterol, researchers examined the Omega 3 fatty acid activity in the management of hypertriglyceridemia.

According to the results of the study,
* Omega 3 fatty acids lowered LDL cholesterol and reduce CV risk.

* Omega 3 fatty acid also lowered triglyceride (TG) levels and elevated the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels.

* Omega3 fatty acid inhibited the elevated TG levels that increased risk of CV events and very high TG levels are associated with acute pancreatitis.

Collectively, researchers said, " This review focuses on the clinical practice guidelines for the management of hypertriglyceridemia and the role of prescription omega-3 fatty acids in preventing pancreatitis and CV disease in individuals with high and very high TG levels".

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
