From: DHA increases adiponectin expression more effectively than EPA at relative low concentrations by regulating PPARγ and its phosphorylation at Ser273 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

Effects of DHA and EPA on cell viability and lipid peroxidation indexes. Post-confluent 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and 3T3-L1 adipocytes were separately treated with different doses (25, 50, 100 and 200 μmol/L) of DHA or EPA for 24 h, while BSA treatment served as the control. Cell viabilities (a) of preadipocytes in treatment groups were assessed and normalized to the percentage of control. MDA (b) and total SOD (c) levels in culture media of adipocytes were measured to represent the risk of lipid peroxidation. Data were presented as mean ± SD, n = 3. One-way ANOVA followed by Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) test. Con: control
