Message definition (Omega-3 fatty acid)
Both omega−6 and omega−3 fatty acids are essential: humans must consume them in their diet. Omega−6 and omega−3 eighteen-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids compete for the same metabolic enzymes, thus the omega−6:omega−3 ratio of ingested fatty acids has significant influence on the ratio and rate of production of eicosanoids, a group of hormones intimately involved in the body's inflammatory and homeostatic processes, which include the [[prostaglandin]]s, [[leukotriene]]s, and [[thromboxane]]s, among others. Altering this ratio can change the body's metabolic and inflammatory state.
