Fig. (1) Effects of omega-3 fatty acids on membrane fluidity as measured by DPH florescence polarization. DPH loaded thymocytes were incubated with DHA, EPA or ALA at 20 and 30µM concentration for 30 minutes, 1 and 2 hrs. DHA (C22) was more effective in increasing membrane fluidity than EPA (C20) or ALA (C18). Lowered florescence reflects an increase in membrane fluidity.* Significantly different from control (p< 0.05).
