A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
In rats, omega-3 pretreatment partly reduced LPS-induced brain inflammation markers but did not fully normalize mitochondrial and antioxidant gene activity.
This review explains how DHA (omega-3) and arachidonic acid (omega-6) are structurally embedded in brain cell membranes and released to support neuron signaling, growth, and inflammation control, with relevance to research on depression, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease.
A computer model suggests an omega-3 phospholipid (EPA-PC) can form a stable but unproven interaction with the GCase enzyme linked to Gaucher disease.
A scientific review explores how omega-3 fatty acids may influence inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuron function pathways implicated in Parkinson's disease models.
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.
In a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, omega-3 fatty acids reduced motor and brain damage, partly by boosting protective immune cells in the gut.
