Key result
Truncated abstract provides no results on the relationship between EPA/AA ratio and carotid IMT.
Why the study?
Is there a relationship between serum EPA/AA ratio and carotid intima-media thickness in Japanese atherosclerotic patients?
Is there a relationship between serum EPA/AA ratio and carotid intima-media thickness in Japanese atherosclerotic patients?
This study aims to investigate the relationship between serum EPA/AA ratio and carotid IMT as a surrogate of systemic atherosclerosis in Japanese patients.
Aims: Serum eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) to arachidonic acid (AA) ratio (EPA/AA) in Japanese is rapidly changing according to the senescence and food westernization, and sonographic carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is increasingly used as a surrogate of systemic atherosclerosis. However, the relationship between IMT and EPA/AA in Japanese remains unclear.

Nakamura et al. (2016) studied this question. Serum eicosapentaenoic acid to arachidonic acid ratio (EPA/AA) was investigated for its relationship with carotid intima-media thickness, though the truncated abstract contains no results.
