Description xix, 158 leaves : illustrations ; 30 cm Summary This thesis found that the omega-3 fatty acid, docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) down-regulates the expression levels of key lipogenic genes and proteins in vitro. In vivo studies with labelled DPA showed that, like docosahexaenoic acid, DPA is more conserved from oxidation compared with eicosapentaenoic acid Notes Submitted to the School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences of the Faculty of Health, Medicine, Nursing and Behavioural Sciences, Deakin University Thesis (Ph.D.) -- Deakin University, Victoria, 2010 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (leaves 141-158) Subject Docosahexaenoic acid -- Metabolism.
