Citation | Cell Line | Concentration of EPA or DHA (µM) | Assay | Exposure (Hours) | Effect on Markers of Apoptosis * |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Schley, Jijon, Robinson and Field [29] | MDA-MB-231 | 60 EPA + 40 DHA | Caspase Detection Kit | 72 | ↑29% activated caspases |
45 EPA + 30 DHA + 75 LA | ↑22% activated caspases |
EPA = eicosapentaenoic acid, DHA = docosahexaenoic acid; LA = linoleic acid; “↑” denotes significant increase (p < 0.05); “%” = percent change from control condition; * Relative to control condition.
