Introduction
[C20:5w3]
Function
- EPA is a substrate in the cyclooxygenase cascade & the lipoxygenase cascade
- properties of its metabolites are in general less inflammatory than those derived from arachidonic acid
Pharmacology
- effects on transcription factors:
- several effects on PPAR
- oxidized EPA activates PPAR-alpha[1]
- EPA increases PPAR-gamma mRNA[4]
- EPA binds to the ligand-binding domain of PPAR-delta[5]
- EPA & DHA inhibit IL-1 beta induced transcription factor activation[2]
- several effects on PPAR
- health benefits
- EPA & DHA intake up to 0.20 grams daily is associated with decreased cardiovascular risk (odds ratio 0.64)[7]
- EPA (600 mg TID) in combination with statin, diminished acute coronary events, but not fatalities in Japanese population[6]
- reduced cardiovascular mortality & improved cardiovascular outcomes greater with EPA monotherapy than with EPA+DHA[10]
- active metabolite of ethyl icosapentate (Vascepa)
- EPA 1g/day may reduce incidence of left-sided colorectal adenomas[9]
