Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The World Health Organization estimates that cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the number one cause of death worldwide, and the residual risk after implementing all current therapies is still high. It is thus crucial that all health professionals make appropriate use of all the available intervention strategies to control risk factors. Although genetic factors and aging are important in determining the overall risk, a substantial proportion of CVD occurs in conjunction with a series of modifiable risk factors, such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes, susceptible to lifestyle modifications, which include dietary improvement, adequate physical activity and the use of functional foods, food supplements and drugs. Emerging research has explored the application of natural food-based strategies in disease management. With marine species comprising approximately half of the global biodiversity, the ocean offers a wonderful resource for novel compounds, which may serve to improve the health of the worldwide population. Many of the positive effects of fish, including those on dyslipidemia and heart disease, have been attributed to fish oil, and more specifically to n-3 PUFAs, i.e., EPA and DHA.
As with the first edition that was closed in 2021 (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/marinedrugs/special_issues/fish_oil), the aim of this Special Issue is to gather new information regarding the novel therapeutic applications of fish oil. In addition, this research topic intends to update information about the use of fish oil in CVD and other human diseases.
