Abstract
Dietary treatment with fish oil reduced the severity of adjuvant induced polyarthritis in Dark Agouti rats but enhanced disease severity in Wistar-Hooded rats. The difference in effects of fish oil between strains was not related to differences in severity of disease induced in untreated rats. Genetically determined factors may influence the effects of fish oil supplementation on severity of inflammatory diseases.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
