| Research Abstract |
We investigated the effect of n-3 fatty acid on differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. DHA suppressed adipocyte gene expression and promoted expression of marker genes of both myocyte and osteoblast as well as SIRT1. These results indicate the beneficial effect of n-3 fatty acid for health promotion and improvement of life quality. Using these results, we had the home economic classes about essential fatty acid balance and the diet for junior high students, and the favorable outcomes were obtained.
