Fatty acid composition of wild edible mushrooms species: A comparative study (2009, background): “Beyond these, many works showed that they can also decrease the total amount of fat in blood (cholesterol), reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases [7,30–32].”
A comparative study on the effect of fish meal substitution with three different insect meals on growth, body composition and metabolism of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) (2020, neutral): “The lowering effect of EPA and DHA on cholesterol is well established in mammals (Connor, 2000; Phillipson et al., 1985).”
Effects of dried algae Schizochytrium sp., a rich source of docosahexaenoic acid, on growth, fatty acid composition, and sensory quality of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus (2009, background): “There is strong scientific evidence that n-3 fatty acids, especially n-3 long-chainpolyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), play important roles in the modulation and prevention of human diseases, particularly coronary heart disease (Simopoulos, 1991, 1999; Connor, 2000).”
Chemical compositions and fatty acid profiles of three freshwater fish species (2011, background): “The fats are also needed in diets to absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K from food; and for regulating body cholesterol metabolism (Connor, 2000; Kris-Etherton, Harris, & Appel, 2003).”
Lipid Content and Fatty Acid Composition of 15 Marine Fish Species from the Southeast Coast of Brazil (2007, background): “The potential of these compounds in the prevention of certain cardiovascular conditions [2] and other diseases has been documented [3, 4].”
A review of fatty acid profiles and antioxidant content in grass-fed and grain-fed beef (2010, background): “More recent research has established that EPA and DHA play a crucial role in the prevention of atherosclerosis, heart attack, depression and cancer [40,42].”
