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

Serum Eicosapentaenoic and Arachidonic Acids Concentration and Cognitive Function in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Introduction: Recent studies have shown that Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs), including Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), and Arachidonic Acid (AA), are associated with cognitive functions in patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Nevertheless, controversial results have been reported, too. The current study aimed to clarify the association of serum EPA and AA levels with cognitive decline...

The ratio of serum eicosapentaenoic acid to arachidonic acid is associated with renal impairment and diabetic macroangiopathies in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.

A low ratio of serum eicosapentaenoic acid to arachidonic acid (EPA/AA) has been reported to correlate with coronary heart disease (1–3), and no previous studies have investigated serum polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels exclusively in patients with diabetes, in whom atherosclerotic diseases are commonly found. We therefore examined the association between serum EPA/AA ratio and the preva...

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...

The ratio of serum eicosapentaenoic acid to arachidonic acid and risk of cancer death in a Japanese community: The Hisayama Study

BACKGROUND Whether the intake of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or arachidonic acid (AA) affects the risk of cancer remains unclear, and the association between the serum EPA:AA ratio and cancer risk has not been fully evaluated in general populations. METHODS A total of 3098 community-dwelling subjects aged ≥40 years were followed up for 9.6 years (2002-2012). The levels of the serum EPA:AA rat...
