Omega‑3 (n‑3) fatty acids, known for anti‑inflammatory effects, may reduce prostate cancer risk by lowering these markers. This secondary analysis examined relationships among inflammation, prostate cancer status, and n‑3 fatty acid levels using data from a case‑control study. Plasma IL‑6 and CRP were measured in prostate cancer cases (n=121) and biopsy‑negative controls (n=240), and erythrocyte EPA and DHA were quantified via gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. This study aimed to evaluate inflammatory profiles and the potential modifying role of n‑3 fatty acids in prostate cancer. 000000355 540__ $$fCC BY 000000355 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000355 650__ $$aProstatic Neoplasms$$024731 000000355 650__ $$aC-Reactive Protein$$015943 000000355 650__ $$aInterleukin-6$$028703 000000355 650__ $$aProstatitis$$024732 000000355 650__ $$aFatty Acids$$018911 000000355 650__ $$aCase-Control Studies$$028826 000000355 650__ $$aGas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry$$021854 000000355 650__ $$aAnti-Inflammatory Agents$$014841 000000355 650__ $$aInflammation$$020800 000000355 650__ $$aFatty Acids, Omega-3$$028474 000000355 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000355 692__ $$aGraduate Programs in Human Nutrition$$041470 000000355 7001_ $$aFeifers, Julie$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000355 7201_ $$aShannon, Jackilen$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000355 8564_ $$96d36ef99-27c5-4a04-80f2-0ecbff0adb87$$s1128988$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/355/files/356_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$261816948d17fa543540169294ebf5325$$31 000000355 905__ $$a/rest/prod/7p/88/cg/53/7p88cg53c 000000355 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:355$$pstudent-work 000000355 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000355 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
