Possible Interaction: Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Becaplermin

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

EPA (10–100 µM) exhibited dose-related inhibition of PDGF-BB- and EGF-stimulated ET-1 secretion.
Moreover, 50 µM EPA significantly attenuated PDGF-BB- and EGF-stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation into mesangial cells.
These results indicate that EPA potentially inhibits mesangial cell ET-1 production, when stimulated by PDGF-BB or EGF.
This inhibitory effect of EPA could be related to the attenuation of mesangial cell proliferation via inhibition of the binding of PDGF-BB or EGF to their receptors due to alteration of the physicochemical characteristics of the cell membrane.
