Serum Omega‐6 Fatty Acids and Immunology‐Related Gene Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis in Healthy Children

Scope Some studies suggest that a high dietary intake of omega‐6 fatty acids is pro‐inflammatory. However, whether omega‐6 fatty acids actually cause pathogenic inflammation in humans is debated. Therefore, the associations between expression of immunology‐related genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and serum total omega‐6 PUFA status are investigated. Methods and results Serum fatty acid profile and expression of 460...
