Cytochrome P450 epoxygenase-derived EPA and DHA oxylipins 17,18-epoxyeicosatetraenoic acid and 19,20-epoxydocosapentaenoic acid promote BAT thermogenesis and WAT browning through the GPR120-AMPKα signaling pathway

Abstract
findings demonstrated that fish oil had no body fat-lowering effects and no effects on enhancing energy metabolism, iBAT thermogenesis and iWAT browning in mice fed HFD after intraperitoneal injection of CYP epoxygenase inhibitor SKF-525A. Moreover, fish oil had no effect on the elevation of GPR120 expression and activation of AMPKα in iBAT and iWAT in mice fed HFD after intraperitoneal injection of SKF-525A. In summary, our results showed that CYP epoxygenase-derived EPA and DHA oxylipins 17,18-EpETE and 19,20-EpDPE promoted BAT thermogenesis and WAT browning through the GPR120-AMPKα signaling pathway, which might contribute to the thermogenic and anti-obesity effects of fish oil.
