摘要:
SCOPE: Published data support that fish oil and algae oil rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) protect against hyperlipidemia in mice. This study is aimed to explore the effects of fish oil and algae oil on high-fat diet (HFD) induced circadian intestinal microbes dysregulation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Male C57BL/6 mice are randomly divided into four groups, which are fed a normal chow diet (CON), a HFD, a HFD supplemented with fish oil (FO), and a HFD supplemented with algae oil (AO), respectively, for 12 weeks. At the end of the experiment, mice are sacrificed at 12 h intervals with the first one at zeitgeber time 0 (ZT0) and the second at zeitgeber time 12 (ZT12). FO and AO groups ameliorate diet-induced hyperlipidemia. The relative abundance of certain genera is improved in FO and AO groups according to 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) producing bacteria Butyricimonas and some of the genera in the Lachnospiraceae recover to the normal circadian rhythm in both FO and AO groups. CONCLUSION: The data show that FO and AO alleviate circadian gut microbiota dysregulation in mice caused by HFD, and support the further investigation of omega-3 PUFAs as a dietary intervention strategy for the prevention of hyperlipidemia.

摘要:
Our previous studies have found that fish oil rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 PUFA) protects against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in mice. This study was aimed to explore the effects of fish oil on high fat diet (HFD)-induced circadian bile composition chaos. Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups, a control group (CON), a HFD group and a fish oil (FO) group, which were fed a normal chow diet, a HFD, and a HFD supplemented with FO, respectively for 12 weeks. At the end of the experiment, liver tissue, blood and bile samples were processed at 12-h intervals with the first one at zeitgeber time 0 (ZT0) and the second at zeitgeber time 12 (ZT12). Metabolites in bile were determined using UPLC-QTOF-MS, screened using multivariate statistical analysis, and analyzed using KEGG database and Metaboanalyst. The expression levels of key proteins in bile acid metabolism were examined using western blot. Results of biochemical analysis and H&E staining illustrated that feeding of HFD induced NAFLD, which was ameliorated in FO group. The bile content of each group at ZT0 (CON, HFD, or FO group) was respectively higher than that at ZT12 (P<.05). The metabolic pathway analysis of differential metabolites showed that these differences were correlated with amino acid metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis and primary bile acid synthesis at ZT0. FO supplement could modify bile composition, which was related to the influence of its omega-3 PUFA on liver metabolism. omega-3 PUFA may also regulate the circadian rhythm of bile metabolism.

摘要:
Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a well-known food-borne pathogen that causes systemic listeriosis. Its biofilm-forming ability is known to be important for its antimicrobial resistance and persistence. Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) is the highest component of tea polyphenols in tea extracts and has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities. In this study, the efficacys of EGCG to inhibit biofilm formation and hemolytic activity of L. monocytogenes were determined. EGCG at 20 μg/mL, 40 μg/mL (less than compound's minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC) and 200 μg/mL (1 MIC) were tested. Crystal violet staining showed that sub-MIC and MIC of EGCG could significantly reduce the biofilm formation by L. monocytogenes on polystyrene microtiter plates at three temperatures (15 °C, 30 °C and 37 °C). EGCG reduced the sessile cell numbers present in biofilm at those temperatures. EGCG also significantly inhibited hemolytic activity of L. monocytogenes as measured by sheep red blood cells. Real time PCR assay was used to investigate the relative gene expression of L. monocytogenes grown at 37 °C and revealed that EGCG down-regulated virulence genes (inlA and hly), SOS response genes (recA and yneA) and quorum sensing gene (agrA). These results suggested the feasibility of using EGCG in food industry to control L. monocytogenes biofilm formation. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd

摘要:
Paenibacterin is a novel antimicrobial lipopeptide produced by Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus. The present study assesses the efficacy of paenibacterin in inhibiting Listeria monocytogenes biofilm formation and removing established biofilm. Paenibacterin at 1.7 μg/mL (less than compound's minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC) and higher concentrations (3.4 μg/mL, 6.8 μg/mL) were tested. Concentrations greater than the lipopeptide's MIC significantly inhibited the formation of L. monocytogenes biofilm on polystyrene microtiter plates at 30 °C and 37 °C. Paenibacterin also was added to established biofilm and its structure or removal was monitored by fluorescence microscopes after appropriate staining. Results show that paenibacterin could eliminate established biofilms formed at 30 °C for 72 h, whereas it could not disrupt stronger biofilms formed at 37 °C for 72 h. Motility of L. monocytogenes is important for its ability to form biofilm. Swimming assay confirmed that paenibacterin suppressed L. monocytogenes motility. Real time quantitative PCR data revealed that paenibacterin down-regulated L. monocytogenes critical biofilm-associated genes, prfA, agrA, flaA, fliG and flgE. These results suggested the feasibility of using paenibacterin in food processing environments to control L. monocytogenes growth and biofilm formation, or even for removal of some established biofilms. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd

摘要:
The present study aims to investigate the protective effects of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3PUFAs) against high-fat diet induced male mouse reproductive dysfunction and to explore circadian regulation mechanisms. Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups and fed a normal chow diet (control group, CON), a high-fat diet (HFD group) or a HFD supplemented with fish oil (FO group) for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks of feeding, the body weight and the ratio of perinephric and epididymal fat weight to body weight were significantly higher in the HFD group compared with the CON group. The supplement of fish oil rich in ω-3PUFAs only slightly reduced the HFD-induced obesity but remarkably ameliorated HFD-induced dyslipidemia, sexual hormones disorder, testicle lesions and germ cell apoptosis. Fish oil supplementation restored the expression of steroid synthesis associated genes in HFD fed mouse and flattened the HFD-induced oscillations in circadian genes’ expression. Fish oil supplementation prevented HFD-induced male mouse reproductive dysfunction and modified the rhythmic expression of testosterone synthesis related genes. © 2018 by the authors.

摘要:
Objective: To explore the toxicity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the liver lipid metabolism of offspring mice and the possible mechanisms involved. Method: Virgin female (16–18 g) and male (18–20 g) C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into two groups: Control group and Test group. After anesthesia with chloral hydrate, the mice were administered 50 μL saline or dust solution by intratracheal instillation (Control group: 50 μL saline; Test group: 15 mg kg−1 MWCNTs). Mice were injected with these doses once a week for 13 weeks. Then, male and female mice in the same group were allowed to mate to produce offspring. The pups were fed with normal diet until the end of the experiment (12 weeks old). The offspring mice were sacrificed by decapitation to detect the blood biochemistry and the expression of genes and proteins. Results: Compared with the Control group, MWCNTs significantly reduced the weight of offspring mice (male and female) and led to histopathological changes in the liver tissues. The expression of liver fat synthesis gene significantly increased (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The expression of genes and proteins involved in the inflammatory reactions appeared to be abnormal (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusion: Exposure of adult mice to MWCNTs can affect the expression of fatty acid synthesis genes in the liver tissues of offspring mice, leading to disruption of liver function and accumulation of lipid droplets in the hepatocytes. The imbalance between M1 and M2 liver macrophage phenotypes may be one of the underlying mechanisms of action of MWCNTs leading to disordered fatty acid synthesis in offspring mice.

Biomarkers of serum fatty acids;GC-MS;Hyperlipidemia
摘要:
Biomarkers of serum fatty acids in hyperlipidemia need to be elucidated. 90 SPF KM male mice were randomly divided into 18 groups (n = 5/group), control groups, and high fat diet (HFD) groups at 9 time points. On day 7, 10, 15, 18, 21, 24, 28, 31, and 35, the mice were sacrificed;blood was collected into tubes from the eyes, serum samples for clinical biochemistry assays and gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy were attained after centrifugation, and the contents of serum fatty acids were detected with GC–MS. Sections of livers were taken and stored in formalin solution for histological assessments. No species differences existed in all these groups. The contents of C16:1, C18:1, C22:6 were significantly different between HFD groups and the corresponding controls;meanwhile, the proportion of fatty acids, especially the monounsaturated degree, the polyunsaturated degree, changed significantly and regularly (P < 0.05). Thus the three unsaturated fatty acids C16:1, C18:1, C22:6 and the monounsaturated/polyunsaturated unsaturated degrees may be as potential biomarkers of hyperlipidemia. ©2017 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
Introduction The influences of dietary fatty acids on the progress of chronic liver diseases have attracted lots of attentions, but the mechanisms of the effects of lipids rich in saturated fatty acids or PUFAs on hepatic fibrogenesis remain unclear. Methods Female Fischer 344 rats were fed normal chow or chow plus 20% (w/w) of corn oil or lard, respectively, and injected CCl4 twice a week for 4 weeks to induce liver fibrosis. Masson's staining was adopted to illustrate the fibrosis level. The mRNA expression level of α-SMA and the DNA methylation level of its promoter region were analyzed. A 2-DE gel based proteomic approach was constructed to investigate the differential expression level of hepatic proteome between three diet groups. Results Histological evaluations and α-SMA expression analysis illustrated the high corn oil intake has no effects on hepatic fibrogenesis, but lard intake aggravated liver fibrosis, partly attributed to DNA demethylation of α-SMA promoter region. 2-DE Gel based proteomic study demonstrated excessive lard consumption elevated the expression of fibrosis related alpha-1-antitrypsin precursor, and endoplasmic reticulum stress related proteins such as heat shock cognate 71 kDa, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A1 and protein disulfide isomerase associated 3. Moreover, unlike corn oil rich in PUFAs, lard had no effects to elevate the expression of glutathione S-transferases, but decreased the expression of iron store related proteins heme binding protein 1 and ferritin. Conclusions Lard intake aggravates CCl4 induced liver fibrosis via enhancing the expression of fibrogenesis and ER stress related proteins, and disturbing the hepatic transmethylation reaction. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd and European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism

ER stress;fibronectin;necrosis;nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
摘要:
Fibronectin containing extra domain A (EDA+ FN), a functional glycoprotein participating in several cellular processes, correlates with chronic liver disease. Herein, we aim to investigate the expression and secretion of EDA+ FN from hepatocytes in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the underlying mechanisms. Circulating levels of EDA+ FN were determined by ELISA in clinical samples. Western blotting and flow cytometry were performed on L02 and HepG2 cell lines to analyze whether the levels of EDA+ FN were associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related cell death. Circulating levels of EDA+ FN in NAFLD patients were significantly higher than those in control subjects, and positively related with severity of ultrasonographic steatosis score. In cultured hepatocytes, palmitate up-regulated the expression of EDA+ FN in a dose-dependent manner. Conversely, when the cells were pretreated with 4-phenylbutyrate, a specific inhibitor of ER stress, up-regulation of EDA+ FN could be abrogated. Moreover, silencing CHOP by shRNA enhanced the release of EDA+ FN from hepatocytes following palmitate treatment, which was involved in ER stress-related cell damage. These findings suggest that the up-regulated level of EDA+ FN is associated with liver damage in NAFLD, and ER stress-mediated cell damage contributes to the release of EDA+ FN from hepatocytes. © 2017, Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

摘要:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most prevalent chronic liver diseases worldwide. Recent studies have indicated that fish oil supplementation has benefits against NAFLD. Our previous transcriptomic study has validated the effect of fish oil supplementation on altering hepatic gene expression in a NAFLD rat model. In the current study, we examined the effects of fish oil on the expression of hepatic microRNAs. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a lab chow (CON), high-fat high-cholesterol diet (WD), or WD supplemented with fish oil (FOH), respectively. Small RNAs were extracted from livers for RNA-sequencing. A total of 79 miRNAs were identified as differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) between FOH and WD groups, exemplified by rno-miR-29c-3p, rno-miR-30d-5p, rno-miR-33-5p, rno-miR-34a, and rno-miR-328a-3p. Functional annotation of DEMs predicted target genes suggested that the altered hepatic miRNAs contributed to fish oil modification of hepatic lipid metabolism and signaling transduction. Integrative analysis of DEMs and differentially expressed genes suggested that the expression difference of Pcsk9, Insig2, Per3, and Socs1/3 between FOH and WD groups may be due to miRNA modification. Our study reveals that fish oil supplementation alters hepatic expression of miRNAs, which may contribute to fish oil amelioration of NAFLD in rats. © 2017 Hualin Wang et al.

摘要:
BACKGROUND: Understanding the metabolic and transcription basis of pumpkin seed oil (PSO) intervention on metabolic disease (MD) is essential to daily nutrition and health. RESULTS: This study analyzed the liver metabolic variations of Wistar rats fed normal diet (CON), high-fat diet (HFD) and high-fat plus PSO diet (PSO) to establish the relationship between the liver metabolite composition/transcript profile and the effects of PSO on MD. By using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy together with multivariate data analysis, it was found that, compared with CON rats, HFD rats showed clear dysfunctions of choline metabolism, glucose metabolism and nucleotide and amino acid metabolism. Using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), it was found that, compared with HFD rats, PSO rats showed alleviated endoplasmic reticulum stress accompanied by lowered unfolded protein response. CONCLUSION: These findings provide useful information to understand the metabolic alterations triggered by MD and to evaluate the effects of PSO intervention. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry

At present, NPs are widely used in traditional consumer and industrial products, however, the properties and safety of NPs are still unclear and there are concerns about their potential environmental and health effects. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential toxicity of ZnO NPs on testicular cells using both in vitro and in vivo systems in a mouse experimental model. Methods: ZnO NPs with a crystalline size of 70 nm were characterized with various analytical techniques, including ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The cytotoxicity of the ZnO NPs was examined in vitro on Leydig cell and Sertoli cell lines, and in vivo on the testes of CD1 mice injected with single doses of ZnO NPs.Results: ZnO NPs were internalized by Leydig cells and Sertoli cells, and this resulted in cytotoxicity in a time- and dose-dependent manner through the induction of apoptosis. Apoptosis likely occurred as a consequence of DNA damage (detected as γ-H2AX and RAD51 foci) caused by increase in reactive oxygen species associated with loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. In addition, injection of ZnO NPs in male mice caused structural alterations in the seminiferous epithelium and sperm abnormalities.Conclusion: These results demonstrate that ZnO NPs have the potential to induce apoptosis in testicular cells likely through DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species, with possible adverse consequences for spermatogenesis and therefore, male fertility. This suggests that evaluating the potential impacts of engineered NPs is essential prior to their mass production, to address both the environmental and human health concerns and also to develop sustainable and safer nanomaterials.

摘要:
Background: Intake of fish oil rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is believed to be beneficial against development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study was to gain further understanding of the potential mechanisms of the protective effects of fish oil against NAFLD. Methods: Ten male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a control diet (CON), a Western style high-fat and high-cholesterol diet (WD), or a WD diet containing fish oil (FOH) for 16 weeks respectively. The development of liver steatosis and fibrosis were verified by histological and biochemical examination. Hepatic transcriptome were extracted for RNA-seq analysis, and particular results were confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: The consumption of fish oil significantly ameliorated WD-induced dyslipidemia, transaminase elevation, hepatic steatosis, inflammatory infiltration, and fibrosis. Hepatic RNA-Seq analysis showed that long-term intake of fish oil restored the expression of circadian clock-related genes per2 and per3, which were reduced in WD fed animals. Fish oil consumption also corrected the expression levels of genes involved in fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism, such as Srebf1, Fasn, Scd1, Insig2, Cd36, Cyp7a1, Abcg5, Abcg8 and Pcsk9. Moreover, the expression levels of pro-inflammation genes Mcp1, Socs2, Sema4a, and Cd44 in the FOH group were lower than that of WD group, implying that fish oil protects the liver against WD-induced hepatic inflammation. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates fish oil protects against WD-induced NALFD via improving lipid metabolism and ameliorating hepatic inflammation. Our findings add to the current understanding on the benefits of n-3 PUFAs against NAFLD. © 2016 Yuan et al.

摘要:
Recent experimental studies and clinical trials have shown that hepatic cholesterol metabolic disorders are closely related to the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The main goal of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the perilla oil rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) against NASH and gain a deep insight into its potential mechanisms. Rats were fed a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet (HFD) supplement with perilla oil (POH) for 16 weeks. Routine blood biochemical tests and histological staining illustrated that the perilla oil administration improved HFD-induced hyperlipidemia, reduced hepatic steatosis, and inhibited hepatic inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis. Perilla oil also increased fecal bile acid and cholesterol excretion. Hepatic RNA-Seq analysis found that the long time perilla oil supplement notably modified the gene expression involved in cholesterol metabolism. Our results implicate that, after long-term high level dietary cholesterol feeding, rat liver endogenous synthesis of cholesterol and cholesterol-rich low density lipoprotein uptake was significantly inhibited, and perilla oil did not modulate expression of genes responsible for cholesterol synthesis but did increase cholesterol removed from hepatocytes by conversion to bile acids and increased fecal cholesterol excretion. © 2016 Ting Chen et al.

摘要:
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains are one of the most important recently emerged groups of food borne pathogens. This study investigated the prevalence of molecular markers for STEC and characteristics of E. coli O157 isolates from foods sold at retail markets in Wuhan, China. A total of 489 samples (350 meat products and 139 raw vegetables) were purchased from 22 large scale markets between July of 2011 and September of 2013. The meat samples consisted of frozen chicken products, raw pork, raw beef, frozen fish products and processed duck products. The raw vegetable samples consisted of lettuce, bok choy, radish, spinach, cucumber, and tomato. Shiga toxin genes (stx1 and stx2) and an O-group marker of the seven main pathogenic STEC serogroups (O157, O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145) were detected in the samples by using PCR. 100% agreement was obtained between the results of the PCR targeting for wzyO157 and the PCR targeting for rfbEO157 gene. The result demonstrated that PCR assay targeting for wzyO157 gene can be employed as an effective screening method for E. coli O157 in food sample. In the study, E. coli O157 and non-O157 STEC were detected in 55 (11.2%) and 75 (15.3%) samples by PCR screening, respectively. There was significant difference in the occurrence of STEC contamination between supermarkets (19/127, 15.0%) and open markets (111/362, 30.7%) (P < 0.05). Out of 489 samples, 5 samples carried O45, 1 sample carried O145 and 1 sample carried O111. Markers for O103, O26 and O121 were not detected. This result differed from other reports. Immunomagnetic separation based cultivation technique was used to isolate E. coli O157 from 27 food samples collected in 2013. Finally 7 E. coli O157 isolates were obtained. Among the 7 isolates, the prevalent stx genotype was stx1a and stx2a. Four E. coli O157 strains exhibited toxic effects on Vero cells, while 3 isolates had no detectable cytotoxicity effects even though they contained stx genes. All E. coli O157 isolates were sensitive to the 12 antimicrobials tested except for roxithromycin. There are some inconsistencies between the PCR screening and culture results. Characteristics of STEC isolates should be evaluated and considered for monitoring STEC contamination in foods. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

摘要:
Recent advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology radically changed the way we diagnose, treat, and prevent various diseases in all aspects of human life. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most vital and fascinating nanomaterials among several metallic nanoparticles that are involved in biomedical applications. AgNPs play an important role in nanoscience and nanotechnology, particularly in nanomedicine. Although several noble metals have been used for various purposes, AgNPs have been focused on potential applications in cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this review, we discuss the synthesis of AgNPs using physical, chemical, and biological methods. We also discuss the properties of AgNPs and methods for their characterization. More importantly, we extensively discuss the multifunctional bio-applications of AgNPs; for example, as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and anti-cancer agents, and the mechanism of the anti-cancer activity of AgNPs. In addition, we discuss therapeutic approaches and challenges for cancer therapy using AgNPs. Finally, we conclude by discussing the future perspective of AgNPs. © 2016 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

摘要:
The free radical scavenging ability of fullerenols is their most exploited property in biomedical studies. The antioxidant properties and associated mechanisms of fullerenol have been previously investigated, but less research has been done to examine the hepatoprotective effects of fullerenol nanoparticles on alcohol-induced oxidative stress. This study examined the antioxidant effects in rat liver primary hepatocyte exposure to fullerenols dissolved in ethanol. In this study, liver primary hepatocytes of Wistar rats were divided into nine experimental groups that were exposed to ethanol (0.1, 1.0 and 10%), fullerenol dissolved in ethanol (0.1, 1.0 and 10%) and controls (PBS;PBS + fullerenol;Vitamin C (Vc) in 10% ethanol). The results demonstrated that fullerenol nanoparticles in 400 μmol L<sup>-1</sup>exhibited excellent ROS scavenging abilities. This contributed to the anti-inflammatory effects involving reduced alcoholic oxidative damage and the regulated promotion of the tumor necrosis factor. The intracorporeal metabolism of rat-intake fullerenol was also evaluated by examining precision-cut rat slices of liver and kidney. All results demonstrated the potential hepatoprotective effects of fullerenol nanoparticles in the preventive treatment of alcoholic hepatopathy.<br/> ©The Royal Society of Chemistry 2016.

摘要:
The effects of n3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on cardiovascular disease are controversial. We currently explored the effects of various ratios of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on high-fat-induced atherosclerosis. In model apoE(-/-) mice, high-fat diets (HFD) were partially replaced with fish and algal oils (DHA/EPA 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2) and/or plant oils enriched in linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids with an n6/n3 ratio of 4:1. PUFA supplementation significantly reduced the atherosclerotic plaque area, serum lipid profile, inflammatory response, aortic ROS production, proinflammatory factors and scavenger receptor expression as compared to those in the HFD group. However, plant oils did not have a significant effect on the following: serum HDL-C level; aortic ABCA1, ABCG1 and LAL mRNA expression; and CD36 and LOX-1 protein expression. Compared to the plant-oil-treated group, the DHA/EPA 1:1 group had a smaller atherosclerotic plaque area, higher serum HDL-C levels and lesser CD36 and MSR-1 mRNA expression; the DHA/EPA 2:1 group had lower serum TC, LDL-C and TNF-a levels and lower aortic ROS levels. Our study suggested that n3 PUFA from animals had more potent atheroprotective effects than that from plants. Supplementation involving higher DHA/EPA ratios and an n6/n3 ratio of 4:1 was beneficial for reducing serum "bad cholesterol" and a 1:1 DHA/EPA ratio with an n6/n3 ratio of 4:1 was beneficial for improving serum "good cholesterol" and inhibiting ox-LDL uptake. Our results suggest that achieving an n6/n3 ratio of 4:1 in the diet is also important in addition to having an optimal DHA/EPA ratio. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
