A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
This review summarizes biotechnological advances aimed at producing EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids more efficiently and sustainably, using engineered microbial strains and improved cultivation methods.
In a 12-week trial, omega-3 supplementation was linked to higher T4 and lower thyroid antibody levels in Hashimoto's patients compared to placebo, though TSH and T3 were unchanged.
Lower blood DHA levels were linked to higher platelet size markers and more severe coronary artery narrowing, with platelet volume statistically explaining part of this relationship.
This review discusses how micronutrient and omega-3 (EPA/DHA) status may relate to mitochondrial function and inflammation during aging, suggesting a role in healthy aging strategies.
A meta-analysis of six trials found krill oil supplementation was linked to improved pain and physical function scores in people with knee osteoarthritis, with a good safety profile.
In obese mice, Antarctic krill oil reduced diet-induced high cholesterol, liver fat buildup, and oxidative stress by influencing key cholesterol-regulating pathways.
In obese mice, krill oil (but not standard fish oil) reduced liver fat buildup by over 40% and improved markers of liver stress and insulin sensitivity.
In diabetic mice, krill oil reduced liver damage markers and ferroptosis-related oxidative stress while boosting the liver's natural antioxidant NRF2 pathway.
In mice, krill oil pretreatment reduced toxin-induced liver damage, oxidative stress, and inflammatory signaling more effectively than fish oil.
