A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
In a mouse neuroblastoma model, high-dose omega-6 (ARA) accelerated tumor growth while high-dose omega-3 (DHA) caused tumor shrinkage or regression via competing lipid signaling pathways.
In obese rats, krill oil supplementation lowered blood cholesterol and reversed diet-induced changes in sortilin and TNF-α levels in the liver and fat tissue.
At the same dose, krill oil raised blood EPA and DHA levels about 1.5 times more than fish oil over 12 weeks.
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.
12 weeks of krill oil raised the Omega-3 Index from 4.8% to 6.8% and improved choline recovery and antioxidant response after intense exercise in power athletes.
A high omega-3 maternal diet increased DHA-rich brain phospholipids and improved neuronal membrane structure in mouse fetuses during gestation.
