this study was conducted to investigate the correlation between lipid-lowering and bone-protective effects of eicosapentaenoic acid on steroid-induced bonechanges in rats. twenty-one male 10-week-old wistar rats were divided into 3 groups (n = 7 each) and treated with 0.9% nacl sc (group 1) or methylprednisolone 7 mg/kg sc once a week (group 2) or methylprednisolone 7 mg/kg sc once a week + eic...

abstract background: migraine is a primary headache disorder that affects the neurovascular system. recent studies have shown that consumption of some fatty acids such as omega‑3 fatty acids improves migraine symptoms. the aim of the present study is to assess the association between usual intake of fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (epa), docosahexaenoic acid (dha), and saturated fatty...

conclusions there was no difference between the effects of 2 g of epa or dha supplementation for 12 weeks on the levels of total cholesterol, ldl-c, hdl-c, tc/hdl-c, tg/hdl-c, and ldl-c/hdl-c; however, it had a desirable effect on the level of tg in a way that the effect of dha was clearer. results from 105 included patients, 97 (31 in epa, 33 in dha, and 33 in control groups) completed the stu...

helicobacter pylori infection, the most common chronic bacterial infection in the world, and an important cause of gastrointestinal disorders, may be involved in the pathogenesis of some extra-gastrointestinal disturbances, as well as an increase in blood levels of certain inflammatory markers. anti-bacterial activity against helicobacter pylori and anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty...

in this study, seasonal variations of fatty acid amounts in muscle tissues of capoeta caelestis were investigated. we have found that the ω3 contents of c. caelestis in spring, summer, autumn and winter were 17.43%, 15.29%, 17.54%, 13.63% in female and 16.96%, 19.25%, 18.66%, 14.76% in male, respectively. the amounts of ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were higher than those of ω6 polyunsaturated...

The effects of eicosapentaenoic acid and oleic acid on lipid synthesis and secretion by HepG2 cells were examined to identify fatty acid specific changes in lipid metabolism that might indicate a basis for the hypolipidemic effect attributed to eicosapentaenoic acid and related n-3 fatty acids. Cellular glycerolipid synthesis, as determined by [3H]glycerol incorporation, increased in a concentr...

PURPOSE Eicosapentaenoic acid has been tested in bladder cancer as a synergistic cytotoxic agent in the form of meglumine-eicosapentaenoic acid, although its mechanism of action is poorly understood in this cancer. The current study analyzed the mechanisms by which eicosapentaenoic acid alters T24/83 human bladder cancer metabolism in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS T24/83 human bladder cancer c...
