S1 E5, PUFAs and infection, Part 4: Relevance to human health

Episode 5, part 4 – Will talks about why the results from this study are relevant to our everyday lives.

DePaolo Lab ultimately found that the presence of omega-6 polysaturated fatty acids (arachidonic acid was used in this project) worsens inflammation when challenged with virus or bacteria. So, a diet high in omega-6 fatty acids can weaken the immune response to a viral or bacterial infection. Will and I also get into a little discussion about immunity as well as what the lab found when looking at omega-3 fatty acids using the same assays that were used to study omega-6 fatty acids.
