“These results suggest that genetic variation influencing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid levels may be important abuse liability loci, and that dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids may be an important environmental modulator of the behavioral response to ethanol.”
“Since diets rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids are a requirement for the development of alcoholic liver disease, we hypothesized that polyunsaturated fatty acids could synergize with ethanol to promote Kupffer cell activation and TNFα production, hence, contributing to liver injury.”

“PGs, LXs, resolvins, and NPD1 precursor supplies are limited; therefore, when ethanol consumption is substantial, tissue concentrations of PUFAs decline, leading to a fall in the synthesis of various PGs, LXs, resolvins, and NPD1.”
“The ingestion of polyunsaturated fatty acids can also increase the damaging effects of alcohol on the liver, as has been demonstrated in rats subjected to continuous intragastric infusion of alcohol.”

“Dietary lipids were unrelated to risk, but polyunsaturated fat intake appeared to modify the effects of alcohol and toenail selenium on melanoma risk.”
“CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that a high intake of al ohol an d a decreased P/S ra tio contribute to the risk of glucose intolerance in contemporary Japanese.”
“The presence of ethanol in the perfusate was also associated with a significant reduction (P<….05) in the clearance of H2(18)O. These results suggest that the presence of ethanol at a concentration of 2mg/ml may reduce the availability of polyunsaturated fatty acids to the developing fetus.”
