A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
Six months of krill oil supplementation was linked to greater increases in leg strength, grip strength, and thigh muscle thickness compared to placebo in older adults.
This review summarizes research on krill oil's effects on inflammation, blood sugar, lipids, and muscle function, along with new encapsulation methods to improve its delivery.
Krill oil supplementation increased fat-burning and protein-building activity in human muscle cells, alongside signs of improved LDL cholesterol handling.
In a small pilot trial, daily krill oil raised omega-3 blood levels and showed promising early trends for reduced pain in older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
In a rat model, lutein supplementation—alone or combined with DHA and choline—improved recognition memory in females, but not males, during early brain development.
Coating DHA algal oil liposomes with lactoferrin improved stability, antioxidant activity, and slowed oil release compared to uncoated liposomes.
Higher omega-3-enriched blood fatty acid patterns were linked to lower odds of advanced cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome stage, while a fatty acid conversion-related pattern was linked to higher odds.
Different combinations of immune cells and lipoxygenase enzymes determine which pro-resolving omega-3 and omega-6 derived compounds are produced, with 15-LOX-2 in macrophages driving strong resolvin formation when paired with neutrophils.
Researchers found that many published claims about specialized pro-resolving mediators lack solid enzymatic, receptor, or analytical evidence.
