...Shigemasa Tani; Kazuhiro Imatake; Yasuyuki Suzuki; Tsukasa Yagi; Atsuhiko Takahashi Introduction: N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), abundant in oily fish, exert anti-inflammatory cardiovascular protective effects. We aimed to investigate the association between fish-derived n-3 PUFAs...

...Sunyoung Jo; Won-Suk An; Yongsoon Park Background: There is inconsistent epidemiologic evidence for an association between tissue levels of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the risk of type 2 diabetes. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether erythrocyte levels of n-3...

...Ae Li Lee; Yongsoon Park Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common autoimmune diseases that result in chronic inflammation of the joints. n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis and clinical course of RA. The purpose...

...Yongsoon Park; Malgeunsinae Kim; Dawon Baek; Seok-Hyeon Kim Background/Aims: Low intake or tissue levels of n–3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been associated with an increased risk of depression, but some studies do not support the association. The purpose of the present study...

...Hyoun-Jung Moon; Tae-Hee Kim; Dong-Won Byun; Yongsoon Park Background: Osteoporosis, a major health problem among postmenopausal women, is influenced by dietary factors. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the hypothesis that erythrocyte levels of n–3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA...

...Mei-Huei Lin; Shao-Chun Lu; Po-Chao Huang; Young-Chau Liu; Shyun-Yeu Liu This study was designed to investigate the response to a high-cholesterol, n–3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) or n–6 PUFA diet in rats and hamsters. Animals were fed n–3 or n–6 PUFA with a cholesterol-free diet...

...Mei-Huei Lin; Shao-Chun Lu; Po-Chao Huang; Young-Chau Liu; Shyun-Yeu Liu This study was designed to investigate the effects of the interaction between dietary (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and different dietary cholesterol content on plasma and liver cholesterol in hamsters. Male Syrian...

...Young-Chau Liu; Shyun-Yeu Liu; Mei-Huei Lin This study was conducted to determine whether psyllium is known to alter cholesterol metabolism modulate the hypercholesterolemic effect of a high cholesterol, n–3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) diet in hamsters. Concentrations of plasma, hepatic...

...Andres Arend; Mihkel Zilmer; Tiiu Vihalemm; Gunnar Selstam; Ennu Sepp As previously shown, dietary n–3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n–3 PUFAs) suppress connective tissue proliferation in the rat liver wound concurrent with an elevated level of lipid peroxidation. The present study was undertaken...
