چکیده
Objective: We prospectively evaluated the association between intakes of 1) Alpha-linolenic (ALA; 18:3n-3) [plant, like flax seed, omega-3] 2) Eicosapentaenoic (EPA; 20:5n-3) [fish omega-3] 3) Docosahexaenoic (DHA; 22:6n-3) [fish and cold water algae omega-3] 4) Linoleic (LA; 18:2n-6) [plant omega-6, like corn, sunflower, safflower, peanut, soy oils] 5) Arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4n-6) [animal omega-6, but often formed from plant omega-6s] and prostate cancer risk.

Dietary intake of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids and the risk of prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND Laboratory studies have shown that n-3 fatty acids inhibit and n-6 fatty acids stimulate prostate tumor growth, but whether the dietary intake of these fatty acids affects prostate cancer risk in humans remains unclear. OBJECTIVE We prospectively evaluated the association between intakes of alpha-linolenic (ALA; 18:3n-3), eicosapentaenoic (EPA; 20:5n-3), docosahexaenoic (DHA; 22:6n...
متن کاملBridging animal and human studies: what are the missing segments in dietary fat and prostate cancer?
Epidemiologic investigations have suggested an association of dietary fat intake with prostate cancer risk, especially risk of advanced prostate cancer. However, supporting evidence from animal studies is limited. Segments that would bridge animal and human studies on dietary fat and prostate cancer--which would determine the future directions of research--are missing. Such segments include 1) ...

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary n-3 to n-6 ratio on performance, immune response, blood parameters and fatty acids profile of broiler chickens. A total number of 192 one day old broiler chicks were randomly alloctted into 6 groups. Chicks of groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 were fed balanced corn-soybean diets containing n-3 to n-6 ratios of 1:1, 1:3, 1:5, 1:7, 1:9 and 1:...

متن کاملRelationship of Dietary Intake of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids with Risk of Prostate Cancer Development: A Meta-Analysis of Prospective Studies and Review of Literature
Objective. To determine the relationship between dietary omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) and omega-6 fatty acids (n-6 PUFA) with prostate cancer risk from meta-analysis of prospective studies. Design. The literature retrieved from electronic biomedical databases up to June 2011 was critically appraised. General variance-based method was used to pool the effect estimates at 95% confidence interva...
