An eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) rich diet minimizes weight loss associated with 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU). a Body weight changes observed in mice during diet introduction and while on 5-FU. b Weight gain and loss after 7 days of 5-FU chemotherapy. c Food intake changes in mice throughout the study. C57BL/6 mice were fed their respective diets, as shown, with 7 days of daily intra-peritoneal injections of 10 mg/kg body weight 5-FU. Values are presented as mean ± SD. N = 7 per experimental groups. *** P < 0.001 vs control (cont); +++ P < 0.001 vs control. FO, fish oil
