202512 citationsOpen accessUniversity of Cape Town

Abstract

We find no convincing evidence of a simple pro- and anti-inflammatory dichotomy regarding the function of n-6 and n-3 PUFAs. Further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms underlying the effects of PUFAs on specific immune biomarkers.
