The roles of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in alcoholic fatty liver (AFL) have been investigated in a series of studies. DHA andDHA-rich fish oil were found to provide protection against acute AFL [1,2], while their effects on chronic AFL is still a controversial issue. Although Song et al. [3] found that DHA and arachidonic acid prevented chronic AFL, several
