Do you think that eating raw fish (sushi) which does contain some DHA/EPA would also block the Mead acid synthesis? Also as for the "wild" grass fed animals it's common belief that they are rich in Omega-3s (compared to grain fed ones).

In the cited paper it looks that PPARalpha stimulation upregulates the machinery leading to the Mead acid production (given the proper diet low in linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids). Which dietary/lifestyle factors could upregulate the PPARalpha? I have seen lot of talks about the PPARgamma but not this one.

Thanks for this interesting find!
