Article Synopsis
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a major health issue for older adults, and current treatments do not include drugs; inflammation and fatty acid imbalances may play a role in its development.
- A study compared fatty acid levels in blood samples from 43 AAA patients and 52 healthy individuals, finding that AAA patients had lower levels of linoleic acid and increased production of arachidonic acid from linoleic acid.
- In a trial involving 30 AAA patients, omega-3 fatty acid supplementation showed promise by reducing inflammation markers and improving fatty acid profiles after 12 weeks of treatment.
