Omega-3 fatty acids are involved in biochemical pathways that decrease the inflammation and are associated with a reduction in depression.

The body is unable to produce omega-3 fatty acids on its own. Since they are an essential fat, they are required for survival. The foods we eat provide us with the omega-3 fatty acids we require.

The synthesis of chemicals and substances associated with inflammation, such as inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines, can be decreased by omega-3 fatty acids.

It was shown that the prostaglandin hormones that cause inflammation are produced by the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is inhibited by omega-3 fatty acids.

It has been discovered that omega-3 fatty acids have antidepressant effects in people with major depressive disorder as defined by the DSM (MDD).

Which statement correctly describes cancer formation?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Cancer is formed when there are mutations in a number of genes.

Explanation:

Malignant tumors are gene diseases which do not mean that cancer is necessarily an inherited disease (only in 5-10% of cases the cancer is inherited) because the vast majority of other tumors are the result of somatic, ie secondary, mutations that lead to malignant transformation.

Only 2% of human diseases are monogenic (caused by a change in one gene). The remaining 98% of the disease is either polygenic (caused by a change in several genes at the same time) or epigenetic (caused by non-genetic or post-genetic disorders of cellular molecules).
