Dietary fish as a major component of a weight-loss diet: effect on serum lipids, glucose, and insulin metabolism in overweight hypertensive subjects. Am J Clin Nutr 1999; 70:817-825. This paper provides strong evidence for the role of n-3 fatty acids in human energy balance. In combination with an energy-restricted diet, the incorporation of a daily fish meal improved glucose-insulin metabolism and plasma lipid profile more effectively than weight loss alone.

This is an exceptional breakthrough that shows that nuclear PPARγ is induced in human monocytes when exposed to oxidized LDL and is expressed in high levels in the foam cells of atherosclerotic lesions. They speculate that endogenous PPARγ ligands may be important in the regulation of gene expression during atherogenesis.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids decrease expression of promoters with sterol regulatory elements by decreasing levels of mature sterol regulatory element-binding protein. J Biol Chem 1998; 273:25537-25540.
