...Mono Saito This study was undertaken to compare the effects of three major dietary n-3 fatty acids, i.e. α-linolenic acid (C18:3, n-3; LN), eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5, n-3; EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6, n-3; DHA), on liver microsomal mixed-function oxidase activities with and without...

... determined using capillary gas chromatography. The fish oil diet significantly enhanced the relative amounts of n-3 fatty acids (i.e., eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) in all tissues examined. In the heart, liver and kidney, the increases in n-3 fatty acids were compensated by decreases...
