A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
A research review explains how the body's natural inflammation-resolving lipid mediators intersect with tumor progression, immune escape, and inconsistent omega-3 cancer prevention trial results.
In rats, an omega-3-enriched diet after weaning reversed depression-like behavior and myelin abnormalities in offspring caused by a mother's high-fat diet during pregnancy.
A systematic review found limited but consistent evidence that omega-3 supplementation during pregnancy may modestly improve some measures of children's cognitive development.
In a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, higher brain omega-3 levels were linked to less cognitive decline and increased levels of a nerve-protecting protein called MAG.
This is a trial protocol testing whether fish oil added to metformin can improve early heart and artery health markers in young women with PCOS-related metabolic risk.
In mice, lifelong omega-3 deficiency disrupted brain myelin development and was linked to memory and emotional changes in adulthood.
In mice with drug-suppressed immunity, a fish-egg-derived lipid extract was linked to increased immune cell activity and gene expression.
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.
Genetic variants near FADS1/2 and two other loci were found to interact with fish oil supplement use, influencing blood levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
