Effects of DHA and EPA on the growth of lung cancer A549 cells. (A) Cell viability (%). DHA (50 µg/ml) and EPA (60 µg/ml) were administered to A549 cells for 24 h and each agent significantly suppressed the proliferation of the A549 cells compared with the control cells (**P<0.01 vs. control). (B) LDH optical density. All experimental groups treated with 50 µg/ml DHA or 60 µg/ml EPA possessed a significantly higher optical density compared with the control group (**P<0.01 vs. control). (C) LDH activity (U/l). Compared with the control cells, LDH activity was evidently higher in the experimental groups. DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; U/l, units per liter.
