and DHA"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>We meet again to bring you the latest news and tips to achieve well-being and a better quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>This time we have echoed some messages that we received through our email and through them we bring you a very current topic and what you have been asking us about: omega-3 fatty acids and DHA.<\/p>\n<p>As part of our active listening policy, we have decided to offer you a special edition of OMEGA-3 + DHA.<br \/>\nIn this article we will clarify <strong>why these fatty acids are so important, what their benefits are and we will introduce <a href=\"http:\/\/salengei.com\/active-omega-3-dha\">ACTIVE \u03a93 DHA<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h1>  What are long-chain fatty acids?<\/h1>\n<p>Long-chain fatty acids are polyunsaturated structures (PUFAs).<br \/>\nIn our body, PUFAs fulfill a structural function as they are part of the phospholipids of cell membranes.<br \/>\nThey are also substrates for the synthesis of various physiological mediators.  <\/p>\n<p>Within this group of fatty acids we find two main groups: omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids.<br \/>\nBoth are essential since the human body does not possess the enzymes necessary for biosynthesis.<br \/>\nTherefore, they must be incorporated through the diet.  <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 class=\"rtecenter\">  Omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids are essential for the body and should be incorporated through the diet<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Within the subgroup of omega-3 fatty acids we find \u03b1-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).<br \/>\nALA can be found in plant sources such as chia, flaxseed, or pumpkin seeds.<br \/>\nThe remaining two, EPA and DHA, are found in significant amounts in fats obtained from cold-water fish and shellfish.<br \/>\nThey can also be obtained from the intake of nutritional supplements.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h1>  Why are Omega-3s so important?<\/h1>\n<p>ALA acts as a precursor, by a hepatic metabolic pathway through the enzymes enlongase and desaturase.<br \/>\nThis gives rise to the synthesis of EPA and subsequently DHA.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, <strong>the biosynthesis of DHA from ALA is estimated to be less than 1%.<\/strong><br \/>\nThis would be why people with major dietary restrictions, such as vegans and strict vegetarians, would have a much lower concentration of EPA and DHA than an individual without these restrictions.     <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 class=\"rtecenter\">\n\t\t<span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Vegans and vegetarians have a lower concentration of EPA and DHA<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/salengei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1_0.jpg\" style=\"width: 505px; height:

analyses showed that vegan diets lack DHA and vegetarian diets that include dairy foods and eggs only provide about 0.02g of DHA\/day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a

rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.plefa.2009.05.013<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Several studies carried out on humans have confirmed the results obtained.<br \/>\nIn ALA metabolism there is no dose-response dependent relationship for the biosynthesis of EPA and DHA from this precursor.<br \/>\nA 2006 study in healthy subjects who received a diet enriched with ALA based on flaxseed oil for 4 weeks (14 g\/day) showed a significant increase in plasma ALA levels, while EPA levels increased slightly and DHA levels remained unchanged.  <\/p>\n<p>DOI: <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00394-006-0621-z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10.1007\/s00394-006-0621-z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Both fatty acids, EPA and DHA, are rapidly incorporated into the phospholipids of cell membranes after being ingested.<br \/>\nThere they can be catalyzed by lipooxygenase and cyclooxygenase, giving rise to different products with powerful cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h1>  What are the benefits of your omega-3 intake?<\/h1>\n<p>The anti-inflammatory properties of these fatty acids could be explained by the generation of anti-inflammatory agents, such as resolvins or neuroprotectin D-1 (NPD-1), in the case of neurons.<br \/>\nIt has also been conjectured that it could be due to the blockade of pro-inflammatory agents.   <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/salengei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/adobestock_47651029.jpeg\" style=\"height: 193px; width: 300px; float: right;\"><\/p>\n<p>Another theory posits that NPD-1s are released by feedback through three actions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>  The increase in oxidative stress caused by H2O2,<\/li>\n<li>  Increased tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1) and interleukin-1-beta (IL-1 \u03b2)<\/li>\n<li>  The mechanism of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 class=\"rtecenter\">  Omega-3s have anti-inflammatory properties<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DHA is a fatty acid of a very unique nature due to its highly unsaturated structure.<br \/>\nIt has six double bonds, being the fatty acid with the highest unsaturation in the body and especially in cell membranes.<br \/>\nAs it is mostly concentrated in the sn-2 position of phospholipids, it provides great flexibility to these cell structures.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/978-3-319-73799-7_5\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/978-3-319-73799-7_5<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>And why is all this important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>  Omega-3s and their relationship to the control of inflammation<\/h2>\n<p>Changes in the fatty acid compositions of the cell membrane can modify membrane fluidity, cell signaling leading to altered gene expression, and the pattern of production of lipid mediators of inflammation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The cells involved in the inflammatory response are typically rich in arachidonic acid (AA),<\/strong> which is also a component of the structure of cell membranes.<\/p>\n<p>AA is released from phospholipids by activation of the enzyme phospholipase A2 in the early stages of inflammatory processes.<br \/>\nSubsequently, lipooxygenase and cyclooxygenase metabolize it, generating bioactive eicosanoids, including prostaglandins, leukotrienes and thromboxanes.<br \/>\nAmong these prostaglandins, E2 (PGE2) is a potent mediator of inflammation, pain, fever, and increased vascular permeability.<br \/>\nThe second AA pathway involves the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase and with it the formation of different leukotrienes, including B4, C4 and D4, which are powerful pro-inflammatory agents that increase vascular permeability, the activity of immune cells, and <strong>stimulate the release of inflammatory cytokines.<\/strong>   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3>  Can inflammation be improved with Omega-3s?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(77, 77, 77); font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 300;\">The content of AA and omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA can be altered by oral administration of EPA and DHA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>EPA and DHA give rise to resolvins, which are anti-inflammatory proteins and that, precisely, hence their name, &#8220;resolve&#8221; inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>Increased EPA and DHA content in the membrane results in a modified pattern of eicosanoid and resolvin production.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 class=\"rtecenter\">  The inflammatory pattern can be helped to correct by consuming omega-3s<\/h4>\n<div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The change in the fatty acid composition of the cells involved in the inflammatory response also affects the production of inflammation-mediating peptides (adhesion molecules, cytokines, etc.).<br \/>\nTherefore, the fatty acid composition of the cells involved in the inflammatory response influences their function and the content of AA, EPA and DHA seems to be especially important. <\/p>\n<p>

cardiovascular disease.<\/strong>  That is why EPA and DHA fatty acids would have anti-inflammatory effects and play a primary role in the management of oxidative stress by improving cell function through changes in gene expression.<\/p>\n<p>This was studied in a group of healthy adults supplemented with DHA and EPA in contrast to another group supplemented with high-oleic sunflower oil.<br \/>\nThe result was that a high intake of EPA + DHA changed the expression of 1040 genes, while the intake of high-oleic sunflower oil changed the expression of only 298 genes involved in inflammatory processes.<br \/> DOI: <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3945\/ajcn.2009.27680\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10.3945\/ajcn.2009.27680<\/a> <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 class=\"rtecenter\">  Omega-3
