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.
High-dose EPA+DHA supplementation improved insulin resistance and lowered inflammatory markers in women with obesity, but most benefits faded within a month after stopping, except for insulin-related and immune gene changes which lasted longer.
