A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
This review describes how enzymes that build pro-resolving lipid mediators from omega-3 fatty acids could be targeted to support the body's natural inflammation-resolution process.
DHA-containing phospholipids showed a stronger preference for raft-like membrane domains than arachidonic acid-containing phospholipids, altering membrane organization.
In a Her-2 breast cancer mouse model, an omega-3 rich diet led to 55% smaller and 42% lighter tumors compared to an omega-6 rich diet, while exercise effects varied by diet type.
Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with lower EPA-to-arachidonic-acid ratios tended to have more severe disease and higher inflammation markers.
This review compiles clinical research suggesting omega-3 fatty acids may support anti-inflammatory processes in neurodegenerative diseases, while omega-6 fats show more mixed effects.
A high omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio in modern diets is associated with increased risk factors for obesity through effects on inflammation, fat cell development, and metabolism.
