Another study on the protective effects of PUFA deficiency on an "auto-immune" condition.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7288204

"...Only 2 of 14 (14%) control animals survived to 9 mo and both had anti-dsDNA and Se-Ig. In contrast, 8 of 10 (80%) EFA-d mice were alive at 9 mo and none had anti-dsDNA or Se-Ig. The kidneys from EFA-d mice at 10 mo were normal; however, all kidneys from 7 to 9 mo control mice were abnormal by both light and IF microscopy. Eight of the 10 EFA-d mice were alive at 10 mo. None had Se-Ig but one had anti-dsDNA. At 16 mo (4 mo after controls had died) 7 of 10 EFA-d mice were living and 60% were anti-ds DNA positive. These findings strongly suggest that (1) SE-Ig is present in mice with anti-dsDNA and severe renal disease and (2) EFA-d produces a profoundly beneficial effect in the disease process."
