| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to examine the efficacy of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) enriched food, I used an indirect calorimeter to estimate the optimal nutritional intake of this food. My target population for this study comprised oral cancer patients whose nutritional assessment could be determined using an indirect calorimeter. Preoperatively, I measured their basal metabolic rates using an indirect calorimeter. Then, I examined the correlation between EPA-enriched food intake and various nutritional indicators. These findings led to the conclusion that using an indirect calorimeter for nutritional assessment could become a useful indicator of the efficacy of EPA-enriched food. Although in vitro research on the antitumor immune response dynamics of EPA-enriched food is ongoing, I plan to publish my paper on the findings of this clinical research.
