A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
This narrative review suggests omega-3 fatty acids may help regulate pathways linked to age-related protein damage (AGEs) and related inflammation, though more direct clinical trials in older adults are needed.
Across 16 UK Biobank studies, higher blood levels of omega-3s and DHA were consistently linked to lower risk of heart disease, stroke, fatty liver disease, and type 2 diabetes.
In a mouse model, an omega-3 fatty acid helped restore gut barrier function and reduce ovarian inflammation linked to PCOS-like symptoms.
In mice, DHA-enriched phosphatidylserine reduced liver damage and gut microbiome disruption caused by nanoplastic exposure.
In hemodialysis patients, lower hemoglobin was linked to distinct red blood cell fatty acid patterns and rising ZnPP, a marker of iron-limited red blood cell production.
In rats with nerve injury, an omega-3-enriched diet reduced pain sensitivity and shifted gene activity toward better antioxidant and lipid-handling pathways.
