Omega-3 fatty acids influence gene expression to augment the expression of health. Some of the mechanisms include direct interactions in changing the composition of cell membranes and membrane function, activating or suppressing signaling molecules, interacting directly with DNA as well as with proteins that affect the processing of transcription factors, and affecting enzyme activities and vesicular endoplasmic reticulum–Golgi trafficking. |
