eicosapentaenoic acid/fever

Muscle atrophy in a number of acute wasting conditions is associated with an increased activity and expression of the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway. Although different initiators are involved, it is possible that the intracellular signalling events leading to upregulation of this pathway

The present study was designed to determine the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on the susceptibility of tumor cells to treatments that kill the cells by lipid peroxidation. Using AH109A carcinoma, a rat liver cancer, we measured EPA content, levels of antioxidants, and degree of lipid

BACKGROUND The objective of the investigation was to explore in a prospective study the associations between dietary intake of fatty acids, antioxidants and hay fever manifestation in adulthood. METHODS Three hundred and thirty-four hay fever cases with adult onset of clinical symptoms from the

OBJECTIVE To evaluate inhibitory effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on DNA synthesis in combination with hyperthermia in vitro. METHODS A suspension of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (EAT) was mixed with DHA or EPA in a glass tube, heated at 37 degrees C, 40 degrees

OBJECTIVE Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) has been shown to suppress immune cell responses, such as cytokine production and downstream PG production in vitro. Studies in vivo, however, have used EPA as a minor constituent of fish oil with variable results. We investigated the effects of EPA on systemic

Knowledge concerning the genetic defects underlying malignant hyperthermia (MH) has expanded rapidly in recent years. In contrast, our understanding of the accompanying physiological changes is less clear. In this regard, the aim of this study was to determine whether normal swine and swine

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) has been shown to attenuate muscle atrophy in cancer, starvation and hyperthermia by downregulating the increased expression of the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway leading to a reduction in protein degradation. In the current study EPA (0.5 g/kg) administered to

The three sets of studies that we have described support the notion that leukotrienes play a role in the nasal inflammatory response to allergen challenge. Strong inhibition of both leukotrienes and symptoms by A-64077, a trend toward inhibition of both leukotrienes and symptoms by SC-45662, and a

Hepatocarcinoma is responsible for approximately 1 million deaths annually. It is usually discovered at an advanced stage and, if inoperable, has a poor prognosis. New therapies combining chemotherapy, hyperthermia, radiotherapy and immunomodulators have been recently attempted with various levels

Arachidonic acid (AA), a representative ω6-polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), is a precursor of 2-series prostaglandins (PGs) that play important roles in inflammation, pain, fever, and related disorders including cardiovascular diseases. Eating fish or supplementation with the ω3-PUFAs such as

METHODS Fish oil-derived n-3 PUFA may improve cardiometabolic health through modulation of innate immunity. However, findings in clinical studies are conflicting. We hypothesized that n-3 PUFA supplementation would dose-dependently reduce the systemic inflammatory response to experimental
