Hypothesized molecular effects of n-3 PUFAs on the cell membrane. Reproduced with permission [1].

In an Final Year Project (FYP) of the Academic Year 2022-23, I had the luck and honour to work with 3 amazing final year students, now UL graduates in Food Science and Health:
Cliodhna, Anna and Ellen
on a project focusing on the cardioprotective properties of omega-3 PUFAs and polar lipids (PL).
In our work, we have been focusing on PL for a number of years as PL are more labile in human organism and they can reach the bloodstream within 3-4 hours (data in house).
This paper is the fruit of this FYP:
Cardiovascular Diseases and Marine Oils: A Focus on Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Polar Lipids
We present all the relevant literature to prove that omega-3 PUFAs don't lower the cardiovascular risk; therefore bying omega-3 pills at your chemist is a waste of money!

I am grateful to Cliodhna, Anna and Ellen and my colleagues and friends Constantina (Angie) and Ronan!
Well done everyone!
Best of Luck in whatever you are doing and planning to do!
Keep up the good work!
Carpe Diem!
Ioannis
