Omega-3 fatty acids, genetic variants in COX-2 and prostate cancer.

Journal of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics - 1 Jan 2009

Reese Adam C, Fradet Vincent, Witte John S

Abstract excerpt

Dietary intake of fish and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 PUFAs) may decrease the risk of prostate cancer development and progression to advanced stage disease. This could reflect the anti-inflammatory effects of PUFAs, possibly through mediation of cyclooxygenase (COX), a key enzyme in fatty acid metabolism and inflammation. Despite promising experimental evidence, epidemiological studies have...
