3rd
European Symposium
on
Dietary Fatty Acids
and Health
03.-04. May 2007,
Frankfurt, Germany |
|
Some
impressions from the symposium:
Dear
colleagues,
we
kindly
invite you to join us in Frankfurt to discuss the current
knowledge on health
aspects of dietary fatty
acids. No other macronutrient seems to be of such importance for
health. We
have tried to unite experts from different fields to give a review on
their
importance for coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction.
Coronary risk
can be modified by different dietary fatty acids via changes of plasma
lipoprotein
concentration and composition, by the development of obesity as well as
by
effects on glucose homoeostasis. Which fatty acids and which amounts or
concentrations have positive or negative effects on these risk factors
of
cardiovascular disease? Obesity and diabetes are without doubt risk
factors for
many other diseases. Risk assessment is also required regarding the
development
of immune function, atopic disease and asthma. The actual situation of
trans-fatty acids in food and their potential impact on health as well
as
interesting and fascinating effects of omega-3 fatty acids will be
addressed.
We welcome abstracts for a selected number of free communications and
posters.
We would by very happy if you could join us for an interesting meeting,
which
has the aim to bring together speakers and audience with different
expertise to
create a critical and fruitful discussion.
