Abstract:
There are mounting evidences demonstrating that obesity and osteoporosis pose a daunting threat on global public health problem, given their morbidity and mortality. Ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids ,besides as a source of energy, may regulate the cellular signal transduction pathway to produce specific patterns of gene expression, and protect from complications of obesity and osteoporosis . This article reviewed the correlation between obesity and osteoporosis, and summarized the effects and potential mechanism of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on fat metabolism and bone metabolism from both animal experiments and epidemiological studies.
