Omega-3 Versus Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in the Prevention and Treatment of Inflammatory Skin Diseases

Abstract: Omega-3 (ω-3) and omega-6 (ω-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are nowadays desirable components of oils with special dietary and functional properties. Their therapeutic and health-promoting effects have already been established in various chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases through various mechanisms, including modifications in cell membrane lipid composition, gene expression, cellular metabolism, and signal transduction. The application of ω-3 and ω-6 PUFAs in most common skin diseases has bee… Show more

“…They are considered essential nutrients for the skin, influencing the inflammatory response of the skin. ω-6 fatty acids play an important role in the structural integrity and barrier function of the skin, while topical application of certain ω-3 fatty acids lessens UV-induced photo damage, signs of skin aging and inflammatory skin responses [ 22 , 23 ]. Oils abundant in oleic acid are richer and heavier in consistency.…”

“…Psoriasis is a skin disease associated with a multifactorial profile, as immunological status, environment, and genetic patterns [61][62][63][64][65][66][67]. Nutrition holds a key role as different aliments interact for the development of psoriasis depicted in several studies implicating gut microbiota as well [66][67][68][69][70][71]. The Mediterranean diet (MD) seems to have a positive healthful impact in the development of psoriasis [72,73].…”
