Does essential fatty acid deficiency prevent macrophage migration and improve renal function in experimental glomerulonephritis in rats?
Essential fatty acid deficiency attenuates renal dysfunction and macrophage infiltration in experimental glomerulonephritis, highlighting the role of lipid mediators in glomerular inflammation.
Schreiner et al. (1989) studied this question.
