Dietary intake and adipose tissue content of long-chain n–3 PUFAs and subsequent 5-y change in body weight and waist circumference

Background: Adding long-chain n–3 (ω-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to a rodent diet reduces fat mass and prevents the development of obesity, but evidence of a similar effect in humans is rather limited. Objectives: We investigated the associations between dietary intake and adipose tissue content of long-chain n–3 PUFAs and subsequent 5-y change in body weight and waist circumference in humans. Effect modification by the...
