Serum N-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids And Exercise-Induced Myocardial Ischemia

Rationale: N-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), especially linoleic acid (LA), have been inversely associated with coronary heart disease (CHD). However, mechanisms underlying these associations are not fully known. We investigated the associations of the serum concentrations of total n-6 PUFA, LA, arachidonic acid (AA), gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), and dihomo -gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), with the odds for myocardial ischemia during exercise, a predictor of future cardiac events
