Shone on Disease-fighting Effect of Omega-3s
Recent research on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids has begun to bring them
into the realm of molecular medicine. Two years ago, Jing Kang revealed a transgenic
mouse engineered to convert omega-6 fatty acids into omega-3s. Since then, Kang’s
group and several other laboratories have begun to use the mice to study a variety
of diseases. Kang’s lab recently published two papers showing that higher
levels of omega-3 fatty acids in mice inhibit colitis and slow melanoma growth.

an educational focus on patient safety and professional responsibility
were maintained, it could be.
