The physical-chemical properties of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA enable it to facilitate biochemical processes in the membrane. This effect has numerous benefits, yet DHA also carries risks that can lead to cellular death and disease. This volume explores the roles of omega-3 fatty acids in cellular membranes and develops a principle by which to assess their benefits and risks. Reflectingthe increased public interest that has emerged over the years, the book uses an integrative approach to explain the complex roles of omega-3s in the membrane. Incorporating principles from numerous disciplines, it gives researchers in a variety of fields the building blocks to stimulate further study.
