The treatment of docosahexaenoic acid, but neither n-6 PUFA arachidonic acid nor oleic acid, can inhibit the levels of the precursor of SREBP-1 and its mature form, and FASN is induced by estradiol and insulin to mediate breast cancer proliferation, which is the result from reduced phosphorylated Akt, not from ERK1/2 phosphorylation (153). This evidence concerns the gene FASN and breast carcinoma.
