Current data suggest that the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, can modulate immune and inflammatory responses, although a discrepancy is still present. Some recent studies have provided useful information explaining possible underlying reasons. Factors such as genetic variation, health status, disease, immune response stage, stimulation type, and possibly age, all contribute to the responsiveness to polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation in terms of immune function.
