supplement:

Fish Oils

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Interestingly, the use of FO alongwith 5-FU also significantly declined the expression of drug transporters (ABCB1,ABCC5) and consequently resulted in an increased cellular uptake of 5-FU and its metabolite, 5-FdUMP at target site (colon).
The observations revealed that expression of CSCs markers was remarkably reduced after using fish oil along with 5-FU in carcinogen-treated animals.

The increased pro-apoptotic effect by synergism of 5-fluorouracil and fish oil may be attributed to the incorporation of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in membrane, which alters membrane fluidity in cancer cells.

A significant increase in mitochondrial membrane depolarisation was observed after the combination of 5-FU or IRI with FOE in HT-29 but not in LS174T cells (P <0·05).
In contrast to SOE, co-treatment with FOE enhanced significantly the pro-apoptotic and cytotoxic effects of 5-FU , OX or IRI in HT-29 but not in LS174T cells (two-way ANOVA, P <0·01).

Additionally, FO ameliorated hematologic depression, gastrointestinal, hepatic and renal toxicity caused by 5-FU as substantiated by a marked improvement in structural and functional alterations of these organs.
ConclusionThe supplementation of FO is potentially a promising option for increasing the therapeutic potential and mitigating the side effects of 5-FU.
ResultsIn the present study, 5-FU in combination with FO increased the survival rate in carcinogen-treated animals.
Synergism of 5-FU and FO was also reflected in significant inhibition in tumor growth and serum sialic acid levels in DMH/DSS model.
