A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
Researchers are developing new delivery systems, like liposomes and nanoparticles, to help omega-3-derived resolving compounds (SPMs) work better and last longer in the body.
A review summarizes how specialized pro-resolving mediators (like resolvins and lipoxins) may actively help resolve gum inflammation and support tissue repair, rather than simply suppressing immune activity.
DHA-derived lipid compounds reduced gum inflammation and bone loss in a rat periodontitis model by suppressing NF-κB and STAT3 signaling.
This review summarizes research on krill oil's effects on inflammation, blood sugar, lipids, and muscle function, along with new encapsulation methods to improve its delivery.
In a small pilot trial, daily krill oil raised omega-3 blood levels and showed promising early trends for reduced pain in older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Different combinations of immune cells and lipoxygenase enzymes determine which pro-resolving omega-3 and omega-6 derived compounds are produced, with 15-LOX-2 in macrophages driving strong resolvin formation when paired with neutrophils.
