Reduction in cerebral atrophy associated with ethyl-eicosapentaenoic acid treatment in patients with Huntington's disease.
Ultra-pure ethyl-eicosapentaenoic acid (ethyl-EPA), a semi-synthetic ethyl ester of eicosapentaenoic acid, is associated with clinical improvement in motor functioning in Huntington's disease. The aim was to determine the extent to which it might reduce the rate of progress of cerebral atrophy. High-resolution cerebral magnetic resonance imaging scans were acquired at baseline, 6 months and 1 y...

Huntington’s disease (Huntington’s chorea) is an autosomal dominant disease of the human brain caused by an unstable expansion of CAG trinucleotide triplet repeats in the huntingtin gene at 4p16.3; the CAG repeats are transcribed and translated into polyglutamine expansion (polyQ) stretches, and the length of the repeats correlates inversely with age of onset. Huntington’s disease is characteri...
