This decline in PAL was significantly associated with an increase in airflow obstruction (shown by a decline in FEV1) and an increase in total score on the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire, which measures the
impact of obstructive airway
disease on overall health,
daily life, and perceived well - being.
We suggest these observations will have therapeutic implications for skeletal myopathies and systemic
diseases such as diabetes and obesity and for the aged population, in which reduced endurance
impacts mortality and activities
of daily living (57); as well as societal implications in terms
of altering athletic performance.

One serving, in fact, contains 22 percent

daily intake (RDI)
of vitamin C, one
of the most important antioxidants on Earth, and a whopping 272 percent
of our RDI

impact of free radicals, thereby guarding us from cancer and degenerative
diseases such as macular degeneration and cystic fibrosis.

The therapeutic dotential
of dietary precursor modulation by a fish - oil - supplemented diet (n - 3 fatty acids), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (C20: 5,n - 3) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22: 6,n - 3) in the therapy
of ulcerative colitis has been shown to result in a 35 % to 50 % decrease in neutrophil production
of LTB4.28 Significant improvement in symptoms and histologic appearance
of the rectal mucosa has been observed in several small series
of patients with Crohn's
disease and ulcerative colitis given fish oil at 3 to 4 g
daily for 2 to 6 months in uncontrolled studies.29 However, a larger, randomized, double - blind trial comprising 96 patients with ulcerative colitis failed to reveal any benefit in remission maintenance or treatment
of relapse on 4.5 g
of eicosapentaenoic acid
daily, despite a significant reduction in LTB4 synthesis by blood peripheral polymorphonuclear cells.30 It should be emphasized, however, that the anti-inflammatory actions
of the fish oils, in addition to inhibition
of LTB4, include suppression
of IL - 1 and platelet activating factor synthesis and scavenging
of free oxygen radicals.30 The
impact of increased lipid peroxidation after fish oil supplementation should be considered when altering the n - 6: n - 3 fatty acid ratio.31 Antioxidant supplementation may be able to counteract the potentially adverse effects
of n - 3 fatty acids.
Additionally, the number
of cats impounded by shelters in most communities is far too low to have any meaningful

of diseases (e.g., cancer).
