Krill oil supplementation for five weeks before triathlon races helped limit the typical race-related drop in blood choline levels.

In rats, an omega-3 fatty acid preparation reduced procarbazine-induced ovarian follicle loss, inflammation, and oxidative damage compared to chemotherapy alone.
In newborn piglets on IV nutrition, a plant-based omega-3 lipid emulsion was linked to lower brain inflammation and better energy/growth signaling in the brain compared with a fish oil-based emulsion.
In women with endometriosis, adding fish-derived lipids to a healthy diet raised an anti-inflammatory marker (IL-10) and was linked to a greater chance of pain improvement, though most other outcomes showed no significant difference versus diet alone.
In heart failure patients, adding omega-3 supplements to a Mediterranean diet affected blood fat particle levels differently depending on whether the patient had muscle loss (sarcopenia).
