To further understand potential mechanisms underlying the protective effects of
eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) against atherosclerosis, J774 macrophages were used to …

The interaction between lymphocytes, cytokines, and endothelial cells (EC) is a key step in
the inflammatory process. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pleiotropic cytokine in its effects, seems to …

Eicosapentaenoic acid, which is one of the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), is
reported to exert its antithrombotic and anti-atherogenic effect partly through the modulation …

Macrophages have several roles in host defence, in the inflammatory response and in
regulating the immune response. These roles involve phagocytosis and the production of …

Accumulating evidence demonstrates that dietary intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
(PUFAs) is associated with reduced incidence of cardiovascular events. However, the …

Abstract Prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs) derived from arachidonic acid (AA) are
potent mediators of inflammation and cell proliferation. Dietary intake of eicosapentaenoic …

The cardioprotective effects of food rich in omega-3 (ω-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)
on cardiovascular risk has been of interest from the moment when a low rate of coronary …

There is evidence that long chain n-3 PUFA (such as from fish oils) provide atheroprotection
through, in part, changes in macrophage function although it has not been fully determined …

The interaction between lymphocytes, cytokines, and endothelial cells (EC) is a key step in
the inflammatory process. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) a pleiotropic cytokine in its effects, seems to be …

Background and aims Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are
major components of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) which inhibit …
