1 BACKGROUND: Several studies have reported that the intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) or fish is inversely associated with serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations, but few studies have evaluated the relations between serum CRP concentrations and consumption of n-3 PUFAs derived from marine products in populations with a diet rich in marine products. Fatty Acids, Omega-3 C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
2 BACKGROUND: Several studies have reported that the intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) or fish is inversely associated with serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations, but few studies have evaluated the relations between serum CRP concentrations and consumption of n-3 PUFAs derived from marine products in populations with a diet rich in marine products.

3 CONCLUSIONS: Greater intake of n-3 PUFAs derived from marine products, as measured with a self-administered questionnaire, was independently related to a lower prevalence of high CRP concentrations in this older Japanese population with a diet rich in marine products. Fatty Acids, Omega-3 C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
4 Our findings suggest that even very high intakes of n-3 PUFAs may lower serum CRP concentrations. Fatty Acids, Omega-3 C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
