A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
In laying hens, diets with added omega-3 fatty acids were linked to lower ampicillin resistance in gut E. coli compared to control-fed birds, though effects varied by antibiotic and age.
In a large Japanese cohort, seafood and omega-3 fatty acid intake showed no significant link to age-related hearing loss.
In mice, maternal DHA intake raised brain estrogen levels and delayed febrile seizure onset, while children with febrile seizures had lower blood DHA and estrogen than controls.
In preterm infants, specific FADS gene variants were linked to differences in blood ARA and DHA levels, both naturally and after supplementation.
Rainbow trout raised in seawater had firmer texture, more unsaturated fatty acids, and better flavor compounds than those raised in freshwater.
A triple-ingredient emulsion improved DHA stability and digestion while enabling 3D-printed, easy-to-swallow food textures for people with dysphagia.
Phospholipid-rich marine oils resisted oxidative breakdown far better than triglyceride-rich oils, thanks to phospholipids acting as a protective barrier.
This protocol outlines a planned trial testing whether omega-3 EPA supplementation can reduce cardiometabolic stress from combined heat and ozone exposure, with results not yet available.
A fermented omega-3 formula reduced inflammatory markers and promoted inflammation-resolving macrophages in colon tissue from ulcerative colitis patients tested in the lab.
