Background: The omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) has positive benefits for cardiovascular risk, reducing inflammation and improving endothelial function. Evidence suggests that Icosapent ethyl, a purified form of EPA, can improve cardiovascular outcomes in at-risk patients. Veterans are at higher risk for vascular dysfunction, a risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD), thus improving vascular health may be pivotal for delaying or preventing AD among Veterans.

Omega-3 fatty acids reduce triglycerides and have several positive effects on different organs and systems. They are also found in the plasma membrane in variable amounts in relation to genetics and diet. However, it is still unclear whether omega-3 supplementation can reduce the occurrence of major cardiovascular events (MACEs).

Background: Ambient concentrations of the air pollutant, ozone, are rising with increasing global temperatures. Ozone is known to increase incidence and exacerbation of chronic lung diseases, which will increase as ambient ozone levels rise. Studies have identified diet as a variable that is able to modulate the pulmonary health effects associated with ozone exposure.

The lipoxygenase (LOX) activity of major tropical fish used for surimi production, including threadfin bream (TB), lizardfish (LZ), and goatfish (GF), was measured in the gills, skin, and muscle. The highest LOX activity was observed in the LZ samples (p < 0.05), with the gills exhibiting the greatest activity at 376.

Article Synopsis
  • Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk has traditionally focused on lowering LDL cholesterol, but this review highlights the significance of hypertriglyceridaemia as another critical risk factor.
  • Despite treating patients with LDL-lowering therapies, high triglyceride levels continue to pose a risk for ASCVD, especially when paired with low HDL cholesterol levels.
  • Recent studies show mixed results regarding triglyceride-lowering medications, with purified eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) showing promise, suggesting the need for updated clinical guidelines and further investigation into novel therapies targeting other ASCVD risk factors.
