the crucial role of dietary omega-6 fatty acids in excess adipose tissue development relationships childhood obesity this is an observational study but the conclusions are that the more linoleic acid the moms eat the fatter their kids are hmm isn't that scary furthermore an emerging risk factor for obesity does disequilibrium polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism contribute to excess adipose tissue development i would say yes it probably does signalling pathways stimulated by arachnonic acid probably include phospholipase and or cyclooxygenase activation activation that may be linked to relatively low intake of omega-3 an excessive dietary linoleic acid one factor potentially contributing to oversight about the apparent role of dietary omega-6 pufa that is polyunsaturated fatty acids in adipose tissue development is historical overestimation of linolei requirements linoleic acid requirements and the enthusiasm of higher intake of essential fatty acids i would say it's enthusiasm higher intake of fatty acids that lower ldl cholesterol these being seed oils which are a big problem for humans in general so could this be linked to obesity yes it absolutely could be linked to obesity
