Dietary long-chain (n-3) fatty acids facilitate immune cell activation in sedentary, but not exercise-trained rats.

Abstract excerpt

Dietary long-chain (n-3) fatty acids from fish oil and low intensity exercise have been reported, independently, to inhibit tumor growth in rats. The mechanism for these effects is not known but may be related to diet and exercise-induced alterations in immune function. To study the individual and combined effects of these interventions on anticancer immune responses, healthy Fischer 344 rats were fed, for 4 wk,...
