Chronic administration of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid as ethyl esters reduced plasma cholesterol and changed the fatty acid composition in rat blood and organs
Fish oils rich in n-3 fatty acids have been shown to decrease plasma lipid levels, but the underlying mechanism has not yet been elucidated. This investigation was performed in order to further clarify the eff...

β-oxidation capacity of red and white muscle and liver in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)—Effects of increasing dietary rapeseed oil and olive oil to replace capelin oil
Post-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were fed six diets in which capelin oil was replaced with 0, 25, 50, 75, or 100% rapeseed oil (RO; low-erucic acid) or 50% olive oil (OO). The experimental diets were fed ...

Open AccessShort-term duodenal seal oil administration normalised n-6 to n-3 fatty acid ratio in rectal mucosa and ameliorated bodily pain in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
A high dietary intake of n-6 compared to n-3 fatty acids (FAs) may promote the production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines. In two recent studies, short-term (10-day) duodenal administration of n-...
