DOIAbstract
Aim: N-3 fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), may possess anticachectic properties. This trial compared a protein and energy dense supplement enriched with n-3 fatty acids and antioxidants ( experimental: E) with an isocaloric isonitrogenous control supplement ( C) for their effects on weight, lean body mass ( LBM), dietary intake, and quality of life in cachectic patients with advanced pancreatic cancer
