Description
Summary:A very high omega-6/omega-3 ratio promotes pathogenesis of many chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases whereas reduced omega-6/omega-3 ratio suppresses the effect. Secondary prevention studies have demonstrated a decline in disease progression or reversal of symptoms with decline in ratio; however the optimal level varies with the disease under consideration. We have evaluated the circulating levels of omega-6/omega-3 ratio and its effect on cardiovascular risk markers in India.
