Marine animals, especially shrimp species, have gained interest in research, due to the fact that they contain a plethora of biomolecules, specifically lipids, which have been proven to possess many health benefits in various diseases linked to chronic inflammation or other exogenous factors. This review refers to the lipid composition of a large number of shrimp species, as well as the effects that can alternate the lipid content of these crustaceans. Emphasis is given to the potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antithrombotic properties of shrimp bioactives, as well as the effects that these bioactives hold in other diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and more. The various health-promoting effects deriving from the consumption of shrimp lipid bioactives and the usage of products containing shrimp lipid extracts are also addressed in this study, through the exploration of several mechanisms of action and the interference of shrimp lipids in these biochemical pathways. Nevertheless, further research on this cultivatable edible species is needed, due to their existing limitations and future prospects which are discussed in this paper.
海洋动物，尤其是虾类，因其含有大量生物分子，特别是脂质，而在研究中受到关注。这些脂质已被证明在与慢性炎症或其他外部因素相关的各种疾病中具有诸多健康益处。本综述涉及大量虾类的脂质组成，以及能够改变这些甲壳类动物脂质含量的影响因素。重点阐述了虾类生物活性物质强大的抗炎、抗氧化和抗血栓特性，以及这些生物活性物质在其他疾病（如癌症、糖尿病、神经退行性疾病等）中的作用。通过探索几种作用机制以及虾类脂质在这些生化途径中的干扰作用，本研究还探讨了食用虾类脂质生物活性物质以及使用含有虾类脂质提取物的产品所产生的各种促进健康的效果。然而，鉴于本文所讨论的现有局限性和未来前景，仍需对这种可养殖的食用物种进行进一步研究。
