描述 | Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, lowers plasma triglyceride levels without raising low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and has potential beneficial effects on atherosclerotic plaques. EPA reduces levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines[3]. EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) may be more efficacious than DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in treating depression[4]. The addition of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) to statins further reduced cardiovascular events in clinical trials, JELIS and REDUCE-IT. EPA significantly suppressed arterial calcification in vitro and in vivo via suppression of inflammatory responses, oxidative stress and Wnt signaling[5]. The effects of EPA in reducing the risk of CVD (cardiovascular disease) could be mediated by biological action of PGI3 in addition to hypotriglyceridemic action of EPA. Compared with DHA, EPA administration increases the EPA/AA ratio and the (PGI2 + PGI3)/TXA2 (thromboxane A2)balance to a state that inhibits the onset and/or progression of CVD[6]. EPA had the most favorable molecular structure, likely contributing to membrane stability, improved lipoprotein clearance, and reduced inflammation[7]. |
