“Byproducts of omega-3 fatty acid metabolism, called specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), reduce the inflammation that drives many chronic diseases. Findings from a new clinical study suggest that omega-3 fatty acid supplementation increases blood levels of SPMs up to 24 hours after ingestion.”

“But a new study in mice that carry the APOE4 gene variant, the primary genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, shows that DHA – a type of omega-3 fatty acid found in fish – protects against these losses.”

“The omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) protect the aging brain by decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation and increasing neurogenesis.”

“Contributing factors for sarcopenia include poor nutrition, low physical activity, and inflammation, among others. Findings from a recent meta-analysis suggest that omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial in preventing or treating sarcopenia.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for normal brain function, contributing to cell membrane structure, nerve growth, neurotransmitter regulation, and reducing inflammation. Learn more about omega-3s in our comprehensive overview article.”

“Findings from a recent meta-analysis indicate that combined statin-omega-3 therapy markedly reduces the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and improves lipid and inflammatory markers. Researchers analyzed the findings of 14 randomized controlled trials involving more than 40,000 participants.”

“Researchers assessed the children's body measurements and collected blood samples to measure nutritional status (particularly the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, retinol, beta-carotene, and riboflavin) and DNA damage.”

“Both eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the two main forms of omega-3 fatty acids, suppress inflammation, regulate neurogenesis, decrease oxidative stress, and protect the aging brain.”

“Observational studies suggest that people who take fish oil have a reduced risk of Parkinson's disease. Docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, is an omega-3 fatty acid in fish oil that serves as an important component of cell membranes in the brain.”

“If not repaired, DNA damage can be detrimental and is associated with diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. A new study suggests that higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids are associated with lower DNA damage in children and adolescents.”
