High fat diets enriched in n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids do not suppress B cell activation but increase spleen size and accumulation of adipose tissue and lower liver triglycerides
N‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) suppress T cell activation; however far less is known about the effects of the fatty acids on activation of B cells. Here we tested the hypothesis that n‐3 PUFAs could suppress B220 B cell activation in response to LPS in vitro and ex vivo. In vitro, eicosapent...
