Association Between the Ratio of Omega-6/Omega-3 Fatty Acids Intake to Plasma Malondialdehyde Level in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis

One of several factors in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) is the generation of oxidative stress, inducing lipid peroxidation, and producing malondialdehyde (MDA). Omega-3 fatty acids have role in inhibiting the oxidative stress, but their levels are determined by the omega-6/omega-3 ratio. This study aims to investigate the association between the ratio of omega-6/omega-3 intake and plasma MDA level in knee OA patients. This study was...
