Watch nowThe physical stress of marathon running can promote exercise-induced muscle damage, reducing muscle force production, elevating blood cytokines, and driving systemic inflammation. Consequently, despite having high cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular fitness, marathon runners are susceptible to lower extremity muscle injuries, cardiac dysfunction, and arrhythmia, particularly as running intensity escalates. A recent study shows that supplemental omega-3 fatty acids ameliorate some of the harmful effects of endurance running. The study involved 24 male long-distance runners. Half of the runners ... exercise heart disease omega-3 inflammation muscle
Read morePregnant women with obesity often experience high levels of inflammation. But a new study shows that omega-3s may reduce inflammation during pregnancy. Women with obesity who took omega-3 fatty acids during their pregnancies experienced a sixfold reduction in C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation. The study involved 49 pregnant women with obesity. Half of the women took an omega-3 supplement providing 800 milligrams of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and 1,200 milligrams of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) daily, starting before week 16 of their pregnancies and continuing until delivery. The othe... obesity omega-3 inflammation pregnancy supplements crp
Read moreOmega-3s improve metabolic markers in women with gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes, a form of diabetes that occurs only during pregnancy, carries many health concerns for women, including an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes in later life. A new study shows that omega-3 fatty acids may improve metabolic markers associated with gestational diabetes. Women who took omega-3s during their pregnancies had healthier blood glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels than those who didn't. Researchers analyzed the findings of six randomized controlled trials that investigated t... diabetes insulin resistance omega-3 inflammation pregnancy insulin
Read moreSupplementation with the omega-3 EPA (4g/day) reduced cardiovascular-related death by 25% in people with high triglycerides on statins compared to those taking a placebo (randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 8,179 people from around the world). The supplement used in this study was a highly pure EPA and the placebo was mineral oil. There has been some concern that the mineral oil may have had adverse effects on lipids since the placebo was associated with a 6% increase in LDL; however, that increase would only translate to a 4% increased heart attack risk. Furthermore, a simil... heart disease omega-3 triglycerides
