Abstract:
In recent years, the role of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) in the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke has received widespread attention. Researches have shown that n-3 PUFAs can reduce the risk of stroke and improve stroke outcome through various mechanisms, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, improvement of endothelial function, promotion of angiogenesis, and anti-apoptotic effects, demonstrating potential in the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke. This article reviews the mechanism of action and clinical research of n-3 PUFAs in ischemic stroke.
