Eicosapentaenoic acid (metformin)_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) metformin is an orally active Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (ω-3 LC-PUFA). Eicosapentaenoic acid metformin exhibits a DNA demethylating action that promotes the re-expression of the tumor suppressor gene CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein δ (C/EBPδ). EEicosapentaenoic acid metformin activates RAS/ERK/C/EBPβ pathway through H-Ras intron 1 CpG island demethylation in U937 leukemia cells. Eicosapentaenoic acid metformin can promote relaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells and vasodilation[1][2][3].
