Özet: Fish oil supplementations play major roles in the biological processes, essential dietary omega-3 fatty acids. The lower consumption of EPA and DHA are suggested to be in connection with improve inflammatory activities likewise as defective fetal development, overall cardiovascular health, and risk of formation of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Fish oils from salmon, mackerel, herring and sardine species are the only source that is very rich in EPA and DHA. These can be obtained from one whole fish about 1.5 and 3.5 g. Intake of 1 g of fish oil capsule per day could supply almost 300 mg omega-3 fatty acids. Daily consumption of n-3 PUFAs is around 100 mg. Omega-3 fatty acids which are EPA and DHA are regarded as dietary fats that consists variety of benefits to health. EPA and DHA are molecular antecedents to a family of eicosanoids which possess anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, antiarrhythmic, and vasolidatory properties. LA is transformed into AA, and it’s the antecedent to a separate category of eicosanoids which have proinflammatory and prothrombotic properties. This contention is biologically essential due to the fact that eicosanoids are obtained from these two essential fatty acids that are n-6 and n-3. EPA and DHA have a directly contrary effect. The growth of fetus brain experience acceleration in the second trimester of pregnancy and this increase in growth continues throughout the first year of life until several years. The quantity of omega 3-fatty acids required of pregnant women is higher over normal women, as this will help to support fetal growth, especially of the brain and eyes.
