PUFA oils containing omega-6 fatty acids constitute most of the oils consumed in the US . Heating can damage the protein and may cause lypolysis ( breakdown of fat into fatty acids ) , both of which may lower quality . Fish oil has shown distinct promise for treating hypertriglyceridemia , and a slightly modified form of fish oil ( ethyl-omega-3 fatty acids ) has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) as a treatment for this condition . More specifically , I am researching whether DHA or EPA ( omega-3 fatty acids ) in the diet can induce ovulation in rats . Omega-3 Fatty Acids Do Not Lower Cancer RiskTaking dietary supplements containing fish oil ( omega-3 fatty acids ) or regularly consuming fish does not appear to reduce a person 's risk of developing cancer , according to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association . Foods high in trans fatty acids include french fries , donuts , crackers , and cookies . During times of energy abundance ( eg , after a meal ) , the liver takes up glucose and nutrients that it can convert into glucose ( primarily amino acids , galactose , fructose , lactate , pyruvate , and glycerol — but not fatty acids ) from the bloodstream and converts these nutrients to glycogen . It can convert Omega-6 - - a group of fatty acids abundant in the Western diet with the potential to promote inflammation - into Omega-3 , another class of fatty acids that decreases inflammation , helping keep vessel walls smooth and blood free-flowing . Saponification of cell membrane fatty acids causes cell disruption and death .
