Serum Eicosapentaenoic Acid/Arachidonic Acid Ratio Is Low in Patients with Pulmonary Thromboembolism

Association of a Low Serum Eicosapentaenoic Acid/Arachidonic Acid Ratio with the Risk of Acute Venous Thromboembolism

Low serum eicosapentaenoic acid / arachidonic acid ratio in male subjects with visceral obesity

BACKGROUND Visceral fat accumulation is caused by over-nutrition and physical inactivity. Excess accumulation of visceral fat associates with atherosclerosis. Polyunsaturated fatty acids have an important role in human nutrition, but imbalance of dietary long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially low eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) / arachidonic acid (AA) ratio, is associated with increased...

Serum eicosapentaenoic acid to arachidonic acid ratio is associated with cardio-healthy exceptional longevity.

Serum concentration of eicosapentaenoic acid is associated with cognitive function in patients with coronary artery disease

BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is associated with reduced risk of cognitive impairment and coronary artery disease (CAD); however, it is currently unknown whether reduced serum n-3 PUFA is associated with cognitive impairment in patients with CAD. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated cognitive function with the mini-mental state exa...

Serum CA125 level in patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism

Background and Aims: Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) have been found elevated in many diseases other than ovary carcinoma. This study is to investigate the relationship between CA125 level and severity stratification of acute pulmonary thromboembolism. Methods: A total of 77 patients suffering from acute pulmonary thromboembolism were enrolled into our study. These patients were divided into 3...
