The particular physical and chemical properties of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, allow for numerous beneficial effects on the biochemical processes in the cell membrane, yet it also carries the risk of cell death and disease. Exploring the mechanism of omega-3 fatty acid function, this volume introduces the principles by which to assess its benefits and risks. It uses an integrative approach to explain the complex roles of DHA in the cell membrane, giving researchers in a variety of fields the building blocks to stimulate further study.
