Abstract

The balance between omega-3 (ω-3), omega-6 (ω-6) and omega-9 (ω-9) fatty acids (FAs) is very important because these types of oils constitute essential components for the formation of the cell membrane, also they are precursors for a large number of substances in the body. One of the most important strategies for improving the increment of polyunsaturated FAs in poultry and animal meat is the dietary administration of these FAs. Additionally, the different sources of ω-3 or 6 in the diet improve the performance, public health and physiological aspects including anti-oxidative properties and immunity. ω-3 FAs have anti-inflammatory characteristics due to their ability to reduce cytokines liberation. High-level of ω-6 FAs is always associated with an increased incidence of dangerous disorders like depression and heart disease. These FAs showed a tremendous series of beneficial impacts like improved cholesterol levels and a decreased occurrence of coronary heart diseases. This article includes some information on the use of ω-3, ω-6 and ω-9 FAs in animal and human diets. These oils are vital for the physiological and health aspects, and the information mentioned here will improve our understanding of the functions and roles of these FAs in the body.

摘要

omega-3 (ω-3)、omega-6 (ω-6) 和 omega-9 (ω-9) 脂肪酸 (FAs) 之间的平衡非常重要，因为这些类型的油构成了形成细胞膜，也是体内大量物质的前体。改善家禽和动物肉中多不饱和脂肪酸增量的最重要策略之一是这些脂肪酸的饮食管理。此外，饮食中 ω-3 或 6 的不同来源可改善性能、公共卫生和生理方面，包括抗氧化特性和免疫力。ω-3 FA 具有抗炎特性，因为它们能够减少细胞因子的释放。高水平的 ω-6 脂肪酸总是与抑郁症和心脏病等危险疾病的发病率增加有关。这些 FA 显示出一系列巨大的有益影响，例如改善胆固醇水平和降低冠心病的发生率。本文包括一些有关在动物和人类饮食中使用 ω-3、ω-6 和 ω-9 FA 的信息。这些油对生理和健康方面至关重要，这里提到的信息将提高我们对这些 FA 在体内的功能和作用的理解。
