Conjugated Eicosapentaenoic Acid:a supplement for reducing tumor angiogenesis?
 
Conjugated Eicosapentaenoic Acid (CEPA) is a derivative of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) found with DHA in fish oil.

Conjugated Eicosapentaenoic Acid Inhibits Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-Induced Angiogenesis by Suppressing the Migration of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

In this related earlier article CEPA was also found to act as an anti-obesity agent in rats:
