ethyl ester/obesity

EPA and DHA are not biologically equivalent; however, their individual activity on B cells is unknown. We previously reported fish oil enhanced murine B-cell activity in obesity. To distinguish between the effects of EPA and DHA, we studied the ethyl esters of EPA and DHA on murine B-cell function

Inducing testosterone deficiency, as the standard treatment of prostate cancer, may cause metabolic disorders including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, central obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and type 2 diabetes. This study measured responses to testosterone deficiency in high-carbohydrate,

BACKGROUND The effects of dietary fatty acid supplementation on lipoprotein fatty acid composition have rarely been described. METHODS Sixty-one overweight and obese adults with dyslipidemia and insulin resistance were randomized to placebo, 2g/day extended-release nicotinic acid (ERN), 4g/day

Increased arterial stiffness is associated with enhanced risk of cardiovascular disease in obese individuals. Whether n3 fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE) supplementation improves arterial stiffness in obese participants on a weight loss diet has not yet been investigated. The objective of the study was

Obesity induces chronic inflammation and is an established risk and progression factor for triple-negative breast cancers, including basal-like (BL) and claudin-low (CL) subtypes. We tested the effects of dietary supplementation with ethyl esters of the marine-derived anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty

Dysregulated VLDL-TAG (very-low-density lipoprotein triacylglycerol) metabolism in obesity may account for hypertriacylglycerolaemia and increased cardiovascular disease. ω-3 FAEEs (omega-3 fatty acid ethyl esters) decrease plasma TAG and VLDL concentrations, but the mechanisms are not fully

BACKGROUND Dysregulated chylomicron metabolism may account for hypertriglyceridemia and increased risk of cardiovascular disease in obese subjects. Supplementation with ω-3 fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE) decreases plasma triglyceride. However, its effect on postprandial chylomicron metabolism in

BACKGROUND Obesity has been associated with a chronic low degree inflammatory response, characterized by an increase of inflammatory adipocytokines like tumoral necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6) as well as the synthesis of acute phase reactants such as haptoglobin. OBJECTIVE To

The precise mechanisms by which omega-3 fatty acids improve fat metabolism are not completely understood. This study was designed to determine the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) ethyl ester administration on the expression levels of several muscle, liver and adipose tissue genes involved in

OBJECTIVE To test the effect of atorvastatin (ATV) and ATV plus ω-3 FAEEs on VLDL-TG metabolism in obese, insulin resistant men. METHODS We carried out a 6-week randomized, placebo-controlled study to examine the effect of ATV (40 mg/day) and ATV plus ω-3 FAEEs (4 g/day) on VLDL-TG metabolism in 36

Previous studies have demonstrated that the n-3 fatty acid EPA improves insulin resistance induced by high-fat diets. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of visfatin and apelin in the insulin-sensitising effects of EPA ethyl ester. The effects of EPA on muscle and

Calanus oil (COil) is a natural product extracted from marine zooplankton Calanus finmarchicus found in the North Atlantic Ocean. This oil is rich in wax esters of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and has been projected as the best alternative to fish oil because its production cannot keep pace

We investigated the effect of long-term administration of highly purified eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (EPA-E), an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid derived from fish oil, in comparison to lard on the development of hypertension and insulin resistance in Dahl salt-sensitive (Dahl-S) rats fed a

OBJECTIVE Prescription omega-3 acid ethyl esters (P-OM3) and extended release niacin (ERN) both have beneficial effects on plasma lipids and lipoproteins. The purpose of this study was to describe the effects of mono- and combination (Combo) therapy of these agents in patients with the metabolic

We investigated the effect of long-term administration of highly purified eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (EPA-E), an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid derived from fish oil, in comparison to the effects of lard, olive oil, safflower oil, or distilled water as the control on the development of
