The therapeutic dotential
of dietary precursor modulation by a fish - oil - supplemented diet (n - 3 fatty acids), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (C20: 5,n - 3) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22: 6,n - 3) in the therapy
of ulcerative
colitis has been shown to result in a 35 % to 50 % decrease in neutrophil production
of LTB4.28 Significant improvement in
symptoms and histologic appearance
of the rectal mucosa has been observed in several small series
of patients
with Crohn's disease and ulcerative
colitis given fish oil at 3 to 4 g daily for 2 to 6 months in uncontrolled studies.29 However, a larger, randomized, double - blind trial comprising 96 patients
with ulcerative
colitis failed to reveal any benefit in remission maintenance or treatment
of relapse on 4.5 g

of the fish oils, in addition to inhibition
of LTB4, include suppression
of IL - 1 and platelet activating factor synthesis and scavenging
