Opposing Effects of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on the Expression of Lipogenic Genes in Omental and Retroperitoneal Adipose Depots in the Rat

Figure 1

The relationship between total n-6 concentration in erythrocyte phosphosolipids and the expression of (a) and (c) SREBP1c mRNA and (b) and (d) FAS mRNA in omental (a) and (b) and retroperitoneal (c) and (d) adipose tissue. There was a significant positive relationship between SREBP1c mRNA expression and total n-6 concentration in both omental and retroperitoneal fat. There was also a weak but significant positive relationship between FAS mRNA expression and total n-6 PUFA content in both omental and retroperitoneal adipose tissue.
