Abstract
Fish and plant seed fatty acids have antiinflammatory and immunomodulating properties that make them of potential use in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. A better understanding of their effects on the immune system ultimately may lead to the development of more benign therapy for rheumatoid arthritis patients.
