Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory oxylipins in older subjects are normalized by flaxseed consumption

摘要

Background and aims: Oxylipins, including eicosanoids, are highly bioactive molecules endogenously produced from polyunsaturated fatty acids. Oxylipins play a key role in chronic disease progression. It is possible, but unknown, if oxylipin concentrations change with the consumption of functional foods or differ with subject age.
