20
Q

what is the 6th largest cause of preventable death in the US

A

def in omega 3 fatty acids

omega 3 reduces inflammation

21
Q

short chain vs long chain omega 3 sources

A

short- plant sources (omega-3 ALA)

Long- primarily form in fish (EPA and DHA)

22
Q

What does EPA and DHA omega 3s do

A

EPA- modulate prostaglandins controlling inflammation

DHA- neuroprotective

(trying to increase omega 3 and modulate omega 6-as its inflammatory)

23
Q

what foods can stabilize free radicals

A

fruits/veg

24
Q

what can free radicals do

A

bind to DNA, pros and lipids to cause oxidative damage

oxygen radicals can attack lipid membrane that are present in every cell membrane

25
Q

how can a lipid peroxy radical be quenced

A

quenched by vit c/e to form a stable vitamin radicle

26
Q

what happens if radicals are exposed to hydrogen

A

can form lipid hydro peroxide to cause prox or distal tissue damage

27
Q

omega 3 and infarction

A

29% reduction in overall mortality following infarction

28
Q

how much omega 3 is required (AHA, GISSI trial)
