摘要: A menhaden oil diet, rich in eicosapentaenoic acid, protected female NZB X NZW/F1 mice from autoimmune nephritis. Only 15% of treated with the diet weaning had died severe renal disease at 19 months, versus 98% controls on a beef tallow diet. The also these when instituted 4 and 5 months age and, under conditions, levels anti-native DNA antibodies were similar both dietary groups. Our data suggest that may act primarily to reduce inflammation via ability acid alter production prostaglandins leukotrienes.
