Differential effects of high dose omega-3 fatty acids on metabolism and inflammation in patients with obesity: eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid supplementation

BackgroundObesity is complicated by low-grade chronic inflammation characterised by increases in inflammatory proteins and cells in peripheral blood.
