Fatty acid desaturase genetic variations and dietary omega-3 fatty acid intake associate with arterial stiffness

Abstract

Taken together, these findings point to FADS1 genotype-dependent associations of omega-3 PUFA intake on subclinical cardiovascular disease. These findings may have implications for identifying responders and non-responders to omega-3 PUFA supplementation and open up for personalized dietary counselling in cardiovascular prevention.
