Possible Interaction: Fish Oils and Long Chain Fatty Acid

“CONCLUSIONS In NIDDM patients with hypertriglyceridemia, moderate amounts of fish oil induce a long-term significant reduction in plasma triglycerides, VLDL triglycerides, and NEFA and a significant enrichment in the erythrocyte phospholipid content of long-chain ω-3 fatty acids , without deteriorating blood glucose control.”

“ ish oil addition increased l ong-chain n-3 fatty acids yolk fat concentrations but decreased those of CLA, saturated and long-chain n-6 fatty acids.”

“In conclusion, FO alters ruminal lipid metabolism of growing cattle in a dose-dependent manner consistent with an inhibition of ruminal biohydrogenation, and enhances the amount of long-chain n-3 fatty acids at the duodenum, but the increases are marginal due to extensive biohydrogenation in the rumen.”

“The levels of longer chain n-3 fatty acids (i.e., C20:5n3 or C22:6n3) in chicks fed a diet containing fish oil (LNO + FO diet) were significantly increased compared to those fed linseed oil with a corresponding level.”

“These results suggest that ingestion of fish oil leads to increased formation of lipoxygenase-derived products of longer-chain n-3 fatty acids.”

“The levels of long-chain n-3 fatty acids , e.g., 20:5(n - 3), 22:5(n - 3) and 22:6(n - 3) were increased as the intake of fish oil increased.”
