EPA plus DHA improves survival related to a decrease of injury after extended liver ischemia in Sprague-Dawley rats.

Introduction And Objectives: The omega-3 fatty acids (ω3), EPA and DHA, have been described for their beneficial effects on metabolism and inflammation. In addition, they are interesting tools in the treatment of acute liver disease. This investigation was conducted to assess the effect of EPA+DHA administration before partial ischemia (IR) on survival and liver injury.
