This thesis investigates the extent to which dietary arachidonic acid alters the production of eicosanoid compounds and their subsequent effect on blood coagulation and thrombogenesis. It was found that increased levels of dietary arachidonic acid caused a rise in thrombosis potential, but this trend was reversed by the simultaneous consumption of omega-3 fatty acids.
