Fish oil diet may reduce inflammatory levels in the liver of middle-aged rats

Abstract The impact of dietary soybean oil, lard and fish oil on physiological responses in middle age is little studied. In this study, we investigated the changes of oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines, telomere length, and age-related gene expression in the liver of middle-aged rats in respo...
