The modulatory effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on platelet arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism were applied to an in vitro model of oxidant stress. Unstimulated normal human blood platelets were first treated with a thiol-oxidizing agent, azodicarboxylic acid bis(dimethylamide) (diamide) (1

Free eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) was found to inhibit dose dependently the chemiluminescence of human neutrophil granulocytes phagocytosing zymosan and their chemotaxis induced by C5a-containing zymosan-activated serum (ZAS) and platelet-activating factor. Rigidification of plasma membranes in the ZAS-treated cells could be

This study was conducted to evaluate the chronic effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on fatty acid and glucose metabolism in human skeletal muscle cells. Uptake of [14C]oleate was increased >2-fold after preincubation of myotubes with 0.6 mM EPA for 24

Flaxseed oil is a rich source of 18:3n-3 (alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA), which is ultimately converted to 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA), a fatty acid important for the development of the infant brain and retina. The objective of this study

Skin aging can be attributed to photoaging (extrinsic) and chronological (intrinsic) aging. Photoaging and intrinsic aging are induced by damage to human skin attributable to repeated exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and to the passage of time, respectively. In our
