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 by B. S. Muhlhausler, R. Cook-Johnson, M. James, D. Miljkovic, E. Duthoit, R. Gibson

“…SREBP1c mRNA expression was related directly to n-6 PUFA concentrations (omental, r2=.71; P<.001; Retroperitoneal, r2=.20; P<.002), and inversely to n-3 PUFA concentrations (omental, r2=.59; P<.001; Retroperitoneal, r2=.19; P<.005) independent of diet. The relationship between total n-6 PUFA and SREBP1c mRNA expression persisted when the effects of n-3 PUFA were controlled for. …”
