A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
In a mouse model of lupus kidney disease, combining DHA omega-3 with a moderate steroid dose sustained remission better than either treatment alone.
In a mouse model of kidney injury, omega-3 fatty acids reduced fibrosis and inflammation by boosting AMPK-driven cellular cleanup (autophagy).
In cell and mouse studies, combining omega-3 fatty acids with the drug rapamycin increased cancer cell death and reduced the drug's metabolic side effects.
In lab and rat models, DHA reduced cartilage cell death and increased autophagy-related activity linked to osteoarthritis-like joint damage.
In rat studies, replacing part of the dietary fat with fish oil helped regulate liver fat metabolism, reduce oxidative stress, and support gut barrier health during chronic alcohol exposure.
In mice, DHA- and EPA-enriched phospholipids protected the intestinal barrier from toxin-induced damage through a sirtuin 1-dependent pathway.
