Background: Omega-3 but not omega-6 fatty acids are thought to promote cardiovascular
health by increasing membrane fluidity. Methods: The actions of acute application of omega …

We investigated the mechanisms whereby omega‐3 and‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acids
(PUFAs) cause cell death of mouse thymocytes using flow cytometry, focusing on the …

We investigated the effects of lipids on thymocyte function. The effects of application of
cholesterol or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a C22, omega‐3 (n‐3) polyunsaturated fatty …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are rapidly cytotoxic to isolated murine thymocytes, and
the degree of cell death has been correlated with changes in membrane fluidity, elevation of …

Membrane fluidity is a central aspect of cell physiology that can be modulated by fatty acid
(FA) intake. Increasing dietary omega‐3 fatty acids (n‐3 FA) increases n‐3 FA in membrane …

The effects of various saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (FAs) on the proliferative
response and phospholipase D (PLD) activity of rat thymocytes were investigated. When …

We investigated the relative effects of n− 3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20∶ 5n− 3) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22∶ 6n− 3) on the plasma membrane fluidity of endothelial …

To better understand the mode of action of ω3 fatty acids in cell membranes, human foreskin
fibroblasts were grown in serum‐free medium supplemented with 50 μM oleic acid linoleic …

Dietary n-3 PUFAs have been shown to attenuate T-cell-mediated inflammation. To
investigate whether dietary n-3 PUFAs promote activation-induced cell death (AICD) in …
