     In addition, n-3 PUFA suppress transcription of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c gene and hence, inhibit de novo lipogenesis [4]. n-3 PUFA may also stimulate the post-endoplasmic reticulum presecretory proteolysis pathway, thereby increasing the degradation of newly synthesized apolipoprotein (apo) B [5].
