EPA was far more selective than DHA causing 2.5-fold (premalignant) to 3.5-fold (malignant) more growth inhibition than in their normal counterparts at a dose of 3 μM and 4-fold (malignant) to 6-fold (premalignant) at 5 μM (a highly significant difference), as compared with DHA, which caused only 1.5-fold (premalignant: not significant) to 2-fold (malignant) more growth inhibition at a dose of 3 μM.
