THE ROLE OF OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS IN DETERMINING MONOCYTE AND MACROPHAGE PHENOTYPES IN EXPERIMENTAL ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, primarily eicosapentaenoate (EPA) and docosahexaenoate (DHA), attenuate chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis. However, fatty fish, the richest dietary source of omega-3 fatty acids, is consumed in low quantities in the U.S. Therefore, we sought to …

Dietary Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity and Anti-Tumorigenic Activity in Balb/c Mice
Two animal model systems were used to evaluate the effects of an increased consumption of 18:3n-3: cell-mediated cytotoxic (CMC) activity and tumor growth. The most likely mechanism by which dietary 18:3n-3 will alter CMC and tumor growth is through changes in eicosanoid production. One study …

The effect of apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype and long chain omega 3 fatty acids on body weight and inflammation
Obesity-associated adipose tissue (AT) inflammation is characterised by macrophage (ATM) infiltration and polarisation from anti-inflammatory (M2) towards pro-inflammatory (M1) phenotype. Long chain (LC) n-3 PUFA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), exert various beneficial …
