Fatty acids in fish oil may halt colorectal cancer cell growth
The study looked at how two types of omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), affect colorectal cancer cells. The researchers found that both DHA and EPA can help trigger apoptosis, or cell death, in these cancer cells. This suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may have potential in regulating colorectal cancer cell growth and survival.
