News Finding: Of these patients, 35 told the researchers that they use fish oil regularly and 13 used omega-3 fatty acid supplements, according to the study.
Paper Finding: Herein we show that fish oil contains substantial levels of 16: 4(n-3), a fatty acid with potent chemotherapy-negating effects in preclinical models, and that intake of low doses of fish As can be seen by the quantities of 16:4(n-3) contained in the ingested fish portions (shown in parentheses in the panel labels), mackerel and herring contained high levels, and salmon and tuna contained low levels.
News Context: Of these patients, 35 told the researchers that they use fish oil regularly and 13 used omega-3 fatty acid supplements, according to the study. The researchers found that all tested fish oils, herring and mackerel contained a chemotherapy-negating fatty acid. "After ingestion of these fish oils or fishes, 16:4(n-3) was rapidly taken up in the plasma of human volunteers," the researchers wrote.
Paper Context: Thus, consumption of fish rich in 16:4(n-3) enhanced plasma levels of this PIFA. Herein we show that fish oil contains substantial levels of 16: 4(n-3), a fatty acid with potent chemotherapy-negating effects in preclinical models, and that intake of low doses of fish As can be seen by the quantities of 16:4(n-3) contained in the ingested fish portions (shown in parentheses in the panel labels), mackerel and herring contained high levels, and salmon and tuna contained low levels. oil interferes with chemotherapy activity in mice.
