A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
At the same dose, krill oil raised blood EPA and DHA levels about 1.5 times more than fish oil over 12 weeks.
MFSD2A is a sodium-dependent transporter that carries DHA-bound lysophosphatidylcholine across cell barriers, playing a well-established role in brain DHA supply and blood-brain barrier formation, with more tentative roles in other tissues and diseases.
In obese mice, krill oil's omega-3 phospholipids increased intestinal fat-burning and reduced body weight and liver fat more effectively than omega-3 triglycerides.
In mice fed a high-fat diet, tilapia head phospholipids reduced weight gain, improved blood sugar and lipid markers, and favorably altered liver fat genes and gut bacteria.
A research review finds that natural oils' fatty acids, phospholipids, and other lipid compounds have been studied for possible connections to eye surface health, with retina-related evidence still mostly limited to lab studies.
A high omega-3 maternal diet increased DHA-rich brain phospholipids and improved neuronal membrane structure in mouse fetuses during gestation.
