Acidi grassi Omega-6 (indicato anche come ω-6 acidi grassi o acidi grassi n-6) sono una famiglia di acidi grassi polinsaturi pro-infiammatori e antinfiammatori che hanno in comune un doppio legame carbonio-carbonio finale in posizione n-6, Cioè, il sesto legame, counting from the methyl end.
The biological effects of the omega-6 fatty acids are largely produced during and after physical activity for the purpose of promoting growth and during the inflammatory cascade to halt cell damage and promote cell repair by their conversion to omega-6 eicosanoids that bind to diverse receptors found in every tissue of the body.
