“Instead, he explains how omega-3 as a resolver of inflammation has begun to take center stage both as a player in cardioprotection and in a multitude of other promising dimensions of benefits to human health.”

“Preclinical models illustrate how EPA and DHA are converted into specialized pro-resolving mediators that are associated with protection against acute lung injury. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses how omega-3 fatty acids participate in resolving inflammation during an immune response.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains EPA and DHA sources, conversion limits, membrane and inflammation roles, and Omega-3 Index caveats.

“A separate study tested the effects of omega-3 supplementation on inflammation and telomere length in response to stress. The randomized, controlled intervention trial included 138 sedentary adults with overweight who were between 40 and 85 years old.”

“Studies in animals show that if Mfsd2a is defective or missing (which can happen with age or genetics), DHA levels in the brain decrease by more than 50%, potentially compromising the blood-brain barrier. In this clip, Dr. Axel Montagne describes the potential link between omega-3 fatty acids, inflammation, and brain health.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains the omega-3 index and examines links between EPA, DHA, inflammation, heart health, and longevity.

“The authors concluded that by reducing inflammation and stress hormone levels, omega-3 supplementation may boost cellular repair and slow aging. This decrease in stress response may also translate to reduced risk of depression, making these findings relevant to mental health as well.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids exert robust anti-inflammatory properties due to their formation of specialized pro-resolving molecules (SPMs), a broad class of metabolites that resolve inflammation. Learn more about SPMs in this clip featuring Dr. Bill Harris.”

“EPA supplementation reduced multiple markers of vascular inflammation; however, neither treatment improved markers of atherosclerosis. The authors concluded the high-dose omega-3 supplementation can reduce vascular inflammation at early and late stages of cardiovascular disease.”

“Cannabinoids (found in marijuana) are also are produced naturally by the body from omega-3 fatty acids where they fight inflammation. A new study in animal tissue finds a series of metabolic reactions that convert omega-3 fatty acids into cannabinoids that have anti-inflammatory benefits but without the psychotropic high.”
