Dietary Effects of Eicosapentaenoic and Docosahexaenoic Acid Esters on Lipid Metabolism and Immune Parameters in Sprague-Dawley Rats

Dietary Effect of .ALPHA.-Tocopherol and Tocotrienols on Lipid Metabolism and Immune Function of Aged Sprague-Dawley Rats.

“…Effect of dietary tocopherol and tocotrienol without fasting on their levels in various tissues of Sprague-Dawley rats. has also been reported that oral administration of the n-3 unsaturated fatty acids ␣-linolenic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids decreases LTB 4 -releasing activity of rat PEC by decreasing arachidonic acid level in young Wistar (Matsuo et al, 2000) and SD rats (Hung et al, , 2000. In the present study, we showed that a significant decrease of LTB 4 -releasing activity of PEC isolated from aged SD rats fed ␣-Toc or T3 was induced without decreasing arachidonic acid level.…”

Dietary docosahexaenoic acid is more optimal than eicosapentaenoic acid affecting the level of cellular defence responses of the juvenile grouper Epinephelus malabaricus

“…Similarly DHA consumption, in the absence of EPA, does not inhibit many of the lymphocyte functions when total fat intake is low and held constant [22]. In contrast, studies with animal and human models using diets rich in fish oil or (n-3)PUFA, especially EPA and DHA, show that the dietary lipids are associated with suppression of T-cell proliferation [49][50][51][52]. T-cell proliferation is also suppressed in Atlantic salmon when the fish were fed a high (n-3)PUFA diet [3].…”

Comparative Study of EPA-enriched Phosphatidylcholine and EPA-enriched Phosphatidylserine on Lipid Metabolism in Mice

“…Dietary EPA supplementation in high-fat fed mice showed a higher accumulation of DHA in liver 29,45,46 . Shirouchi et al investigated the effect of n-3 PUFAs EPA,12.0 ; DHA, 28.1 containing PC on obesity-related disorders, which also showed that EPA and DHA levels were markedly increased by n-3 PUFAs-PC diet, compared with the egg-PC diet 47 .…”
