". iii) Considering our previous findings demonstrating the HER2 upregulatory actions of the omega-6 PUFA linolenic acid (LA; 18:2n-6) and the HER2 down-regulatory actions of the omega-3 PUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) and of the omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid oleic acid (OA; 18:1n-9), it is reasonable to suggest that a low omega-6/omega-3 PUFA ratio and elevated MUFA levels, the two prominent fat features of the Mediterranean diet, should be extremely efficient at blocking HER2 expression in breast cancer cells."
