Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent the leading cause of global mortality with 1.7 million deaths a year. One alternative systems to drug therapy minimize risk CVDs is represented by alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty omega-3 series, known for its cholesterol-lowering effect. The main purpose this review analyze effects ALA and investigate relevant omega-6/omega-3 ratio in order maintain functionally beneficial effects. Concerning lipid-lowering preventive effects, may favorably affect values LDL-C triglycerides both adult pediatric populations. Furthermore, has shown protective against hypertension, contributing balancing blood pressure through customary diet. According 2009 EFSA statement, dietary contribute reducing CVDs, thanks anti-hypertensive, anti-atherosclerotic cardioprotective

Prevalence of obesity among infants and children below 5 years age is rising dramatically, early childhood a forerunner obesity-associated diseases in adulthood. Childhood hence one the most serious public health challenges today. Here, we have identified mother-to-child lipid signaling that protects from obesity. We found breast milk-specific species, so-called alkylglycerol-type (AKG-type) ether lipids, which are absent infant formula adult-type diets, maintain beige adipose tissue (BeAT) impede transformation BeAT into lipid-storing white (WAT). Breast milk AKGs metabolized by macrophages (ATMs) to platelet-activating factor (PAF), ultimately activates IL-6/STAT3 adipocytes triggers development infant. Accordingly, lack AKG intake infancy leads premature loss increases fat accumulation. specific for inactivated However, obese tissue, ATMs regain their ability metabolize AKGs, reduces In summary, signals essential healthy development.

The role of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic (AA) in neurogenesis brain development throughout the life cycle is fundamental. DHA AA are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) vital for many human physiological processes, such as signaling pathways, gene expression, structure function membranes, among others. deposited into lipids cell membranes that form gray matter representing approximately 25% total content acids.

Studies on variations genecluster provided some first examples for marked gene–diet interactions modulating complex phenotypes, such as asthma, cognition.
