High levels of IL-10, but not of TNF-α andIFN-γ, were also observed in infected mice that received thesupplementation, along with a reduction in local oxidative stress.Together, the data suggest that dietary supplementation with DHA-richfish oil in malarial endemic areas may help reduce lung damage resultingfrom the infection, thus preventing worsening of the condition. This evidence concerns the gene TNF and infection.
