The anti-catabolic effects of n-3 fatty acids

The reversal of catabolic processes remains a significant challenge, partly related to the complexity of such processes and our incomplete understanding of the mechanisms involved.

Zusammenfassung:The reversal of catabolic processes remains a significant challenge, partly related to the complexity of such processes and our incomplete understanding of the mechanisms involved. The n-3 fatty acids may be able to attenuate catabolism. This review examines the potential sites of action for these fatty acids and the evidence that supports their anti-catabolic properties.
