available drugs, for mantle cell lymphoma and other malignancies
with excess cyclin D1 levels.

| Can tumour cell drug resistance be reversed by essential fatty
acids and their metabolites?
Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids. 1998 Jan;58(1):39-54.
PMID: 9482165 - PubMed
Conclusion: "These results coupled with
the observation that various fatty acids can alter the activity of
cell membrane bound enzymes such as sodium-potassium-ATPase and
5'-nucleotidase, levels of various anti-oxidants, p53 expression
and the concentrations of protein kinase C suggest that essential
fatty acids and their metabolites can reverse tumour cell
drug-resistance at least in vitro."

| Effect of fish oil, arginine, and doxorubicin chemotherapy on
remission and survival time for dogs with lymphoma: a double-blind,
randomized placebo-controlled study.
Cancer. 2000 Apr 15;88(8):1916-28.
PMID: 10760770 - Animal study - PubMed
Conclusion: "Fatty acids of the n-3
series normalize elevated blood lactic acid in a dose-dependent
manner, resulting in an increase in disease free interval and
survival time for dogs with lymphoma. Copyright 2000 American

cells by docosahexaenoic acid. Anticancer Res. 2001

| Effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids on the drug
sensitivity of human tumour cell lines resistant to either
cisplatin or doxorubicin. Br J Cancer. 1993
Apr;67(4):728-33. PMID: 8385976 - PubMed
Conclusion: "When the interactions between the polyunsaturated fatty acids and cytotoxic drugs were analysed by the isobologram method the toxicities were shown to be additive. The combination of polyunsaturated fatty acids and cytotoxic drugs may have clinical potential provided that the normal tissue toxicities of the two treatments are not additive."

antineoplastic agents toward L5178Y lymphoma cells. - Biochem
Pharmacol. 1993 May
5;45(9):1881-7. - PubMed
Conclusion: "The data showed that modification of cultured
L5178Y cells with highly unsaturated fatty acids, particularly DHA,
enhances the toxic action of chemotherapeutic agents."

in cultured L1210 murine leukemia cells. Cancer Res. 1984
May;44(5):1863-6. PMID: 6231987 - in vitro - PubMed
Conclusion: "These data demonstrate that
modification of cellular fatty acid composition may dramatically
affect the sensitivity of a tumor cell to Adriamycin."
