Beneficial effects of marine LCMUFA-rich diet. LCMUFA suppressed lipogenesis and inflammation, and promoted fatty acid oxidation PPAR signaling pathway at gene expression level in liver and white adipose tissues. In the vessels, LCMUFA suppressed lipid deposition and macrophage accumulation. LCMUFA also improved plasma lipid and cytokine profiles, as well as n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio. All these mechanisms accounted for the LCMUFA-mediated improvement in lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and atherosclerosis
