Abstract

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with long hydrocarbon chains (usually C12-22). Dietary fats are used to build every cell in the body and cell membranes are made of a variety of individual fatty acids. The essential fatty acids from marine fish haveprotective mechanisms against coronary heart disease, which became apparent in the investigations of the health status of Greenland Eskimos who consumed diets very high in fat from seals, whales, and fish, and yet had a low rate of coronary heart disease events.
