TL;DR: Body composition, the composition of depot triglyceride, body fat distribution and insulin resistance were all influenced by the type of fat in the diet, demonstrating the potential impact which dietary fat composition can have on metabolism and body weight regulation.
Abstract: The amount of fat in the diet is known to influence body weight and body composition, but it is not clear whether dietary fat composition can affect body composition independently. We studied the effects of six months of feeding diets containing lard (L), corn oil (CO), fish oil (FO) or medium chain triglycerides (MCT) on body weight and body composition in adult male Wistar rats. Although FO fats ate slightly less total energy than the other groups, there were no differences among groups in body weight at any time during the study. However, body composition, the composition of depot triglyceride, body fat distribution and insulin resistance were all influenced by the type of fat in the diet. FO rats had less total body fat, less intra-abdominal fat, and less insulin resistance than all other groups. Although some of these metabolic effects may have been secondary to a slightly lower energy intake, we believe these data demonstrate the potential impact which dietary fat composition can have on metabolism and body weight regulation.

TL;DR: FO supplementation from gestation week 22 until delivery improves fetal n-3 LC-PUFA status and attenuates depletion of maternal stores, and MTHF may further enhance maternal n-2 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid proportions.

TL;DR: The n-3 fatty acids of fish and fish oil have great potential for the prevention and treatment of patients with coronary artery disease as mentioned in this paper, with documentation derived from experiments in cultured myocytes.

TL;DR: Fish oils effectively lower the plasma concentration of triacylglycerols, chiefly by decreasing VLDL apo B production but not by altering the catabolism of apolipoprotein B-100-containing lipoprotein or chylomicron remnants.

TL;DR: The omega-3 PUFA used alone or as component of a new and complex LE (soy, MCT, olive and fish oil) has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects.
Abstract: Routine use of parenteral lipid emulsions (LE) in clinical practice began in 1961, with the development of soybean oil (SO) – based LE. Although clinically safe, experimental reports indicated that SO-based LE could exert a negative influence on immunological functions. Those findings were related to its absolute and relative excess of ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and the low amount of ω-3 PUFA and also to its high PUFA content with an increased peroxidation risk. This motivated the development of new LE basically designed along the reduction of ω-6 PUFA and the ω-3 PUFA addition in order to obtain balanced levels of the ω-6/ω-3 ratio. The new LE for clinical use (available in Europe and South America) are differentiated by their content in polyunsaturated (ω-6 and ω-3), monounsaturated, and saturated fatty acids (FA), as well as FA source of their origin, including soy, coconut, olive, and fish oil. This article presents the new LE nutrition and energy functions but also its biochemical, metabo...
