Decreased Dietary n‐6/n‐3 PUFA Ratio by Supplementing 18:3 and long chain n‐3 PUFA Protected Rats from Fructose‐Induced Adipose Tissue Dysfunction and Insulin Resistance
Abstract:Impact of dietary n‐6/n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) ratio on the fructose‐induced visceral obesity and adipose tissue dysfunction was not studied previously. Here we studied the effect of diets containing n‐6 PUFA & α‐linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3 n‐3 PUFA) and n‐6 PUFA & long chain n‐3 PUFA (docosahexanoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, DHA and EPA) in the ratio of 2:1 and 5:1 respectively on fructose‐induced metabolic syndrome in the rats.Weanling Wister rats were divided in to four groups and … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
