Fish oil

“Dietary linseed oil and fish oil lowered the arachidonic (C20:4, omega 6) acid content of rat liver microsomes, with an accompanying increase in membrane eicosapentaenoic (C20:5, omega 3) and docosahexaenoic (C22:6, omega 3) acid content, in comparison with the group fed beef tallow.”

fish oil → increases → eicosapentaenoic acid content

“In the carcass samples, the increase in EPA and DHA in all fat tissues analyzed became greater as the supplemental levels of fish oil were increased in the diet, whereas oleic and linoleic acids tended to be decreased by increases in EPA and DHA.”

fish oil → increases → eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in porcine adipose tissues

“In the carcass samples, the increase in EPA and DHA in all fat tissues analyzed became greater as the supplemental levels of fish oil were increased in the diet, whereas oleic and linoleic acids tended to be decreased by increases in EPA and DHA.”

fish oil → decreases → oleic and linoleic acids in porcine adipose tissues

“With the increase in fish oil in the diet, the hardness of fat measured with a texturometer was decreased.”

fish oil → decreases → hardness of fat

“The refractive index and the iodine number were increased.”

fish oil → increases → refractive index and iodine number
