Fish oil fatty acids impair VLDL assembly and/or secretion by cultured rat hepatocytes.

We determined the effect of the two major fish oil fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), on VLDL assembly and secretion by cultured rat hepatocytes. The incorporation of [3H]glycerol into total triglyceride (cell plus media) was stimulated eight-fold when hepatocyt...
