Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to this Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences: “Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Health and Diseases." Omega-3 fatty acids have gained much recognition and research interest over the last decade because of their importance in health and disease. For example, dietary omega-3 fatty acids have been identified as a protective factor for coronary heart disease and are also known to play a critical role in immune responses, gene expression, and intercellular communications, just to name a few. In particular, omega-3 fatty acid deficiency may be the cause of many disorders, such as depression, inability to concentrate, excessive mood swings, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, dry skin, and many more. This Special Issue is intended to present the latest findings related to omega-3 fatty acids in health and disease. Original research and review articles on all topics related to omega-3 fatty acids in health and disease are invited. I have the pleasure of inviting research scientists and clinicians from all relevant fields to submit their papers for this important and timely Special Issue. Please accept my sincere thanks for choosing to publish in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. I look forward to your submissions for this highly interesting, relevant, and important Special Issue.
Dr. Cenk Suphioglu
