Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been found to reduce accelerated cell growth. To study the underlying molecular mechanisms, we evaluated the effects of the n-3 PUFAs eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) compared with the n-6 PUFA arachidonic acid (AA) on ce

## Abstract To date, epidemiologic studies investigating intake of nβ3 and nβ6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and risk of colorectal cancer are limited, and results remain inconsistent. This is the first prospective study to show the association by subsite (proximal colon, distal colon, rectum). To cl
## The production of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in transgenic plants Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) now have a proven role in human health and nutrition, including the n-3 forms normally found in fish oils. Unfortunately, global fish stocks are now more than ever s
## Abstract Several human and animal studies have shown that nβ3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) might be associated with a decreased risk, whereas other studies showed that nβ6 PUFA may be associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. However, results from these studies are not consis
