Tumour weight
downin mice1
N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids decrease tumour weight in mice (-42% (p = 0.02)).
“weight by 42% (p = 0.02) compared to mice fed n-6 PUFA.”

NCOA4
downin mouse cells1
N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids decrease NCOA4 in mouse cells.
“n-3 PUFAs downregulated NCOA4 expression by inactiviting the LGR5/β-catenin signaling pathway.”

Cellular senescence
downin mice1
N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids inhibit cellular senescence in mice.
“the optimized composition of PUFAs in the TG mice had a significant impact on delaying IVDD and cellular senescence of intervertebral disc (IVD).”

Intervertebral disc degeneration
downin mice1
N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids protect against intervertebral disc degeneration in mice.
“the optimized composition of PUFAs in the TG mice had a significant impact on delaying IVDD and cellular senescence of intervertebral disc (IVD).”
