Figure 6. Antiarrhythmic effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids. n-3 PUFAs show several potential antiarrhythmic properties: (1) membrane potential stabilization by decreasing transmembrane io trafficn; (2) inhibition of the activity and expression of connexins, decreasing the conductivity of myocardial tissue; (3) increase in vagal tone, decreasing heart rate, conductivity and myocardial excitability. NCX: sodium-calcium exchanger; Cx43: connexin-43; PUFA: polyunsaturated fatty acids
