I have posed the question on several occasions - does Herceptin intervene in the conversion of shiort to long chain fats - could herceptin in any way inhibit conversion of omega three and six to the long chain derivatives.

If it does this could impact onthe amount of omega three available if there is not dietary supplementation.

There are no trials I can only raise the question.

This thought occurs here as I have seen a number of articles suggesting fat intake inluding omega three and six plays a part in acne.

Unfortunalely these have no abstracts but indicate research in the matter.

You might like to look at the posts on omega three and six, and balancing the omega threes and sixes on this site if you are interested in the topic of omega 3/6 generally.

Please consult with your advisors in respect of dietary changes.
