Dietary fish-oil supplementation in humans reduces UVB-erythemal sensitivity but increases epidermal lipid peroxidation.

TLDR
Dietary omega-3 fatty acids produce a pronounced reduction in UVB-erythemal sensitivity, although susceptibility of skin to lipid peroxidation is increased, suggesting that fish oil may act as an oxidizable buffer, protecting more vital structures from free radical damage.

Nutritional protection against skin damage from sunlight.

TL;DR: Dietary protection is provided by carotenoids, tocopherols, ascorbate, flavonoids, or n-3 fatty acids, contributing to maintenance resistance as part of lifelong protection.

Omega 3 fatty acids for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease

TL;DR: It is not clear that dietary or supplemental omega 3 fats alter total mortality, combined cardiovascular events or cancers in people with, or at high risk of, cardiovascular disease or in the general population, and further high quality trials are needed to confirm suggestions of a protective effect of omega3 fats on cardiovascular health.

A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.

Omega-3 fatty acids in health and disease and in growth and development

TL;DR: Omega 3 fatty acids decrease the number and size of tumors and increase the time elapsed before appearance of tumors, which is essential for the normal functional development of the retina and brain, particularly in premature infants.
