“They found that mice that received the vagus nerve stimulation had higher levels of specialized pro-resolving mediators, or SPMs, in their abdominal fluid. SPMs are byproducts of omega-3 fatty acid metabolism that play critical roles in resolving inflammation.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids play a key role in inflammation control, cardiovascular health, and cell membrane function. Yet, most people—including athletes—have low omega-3 status. Over 50% of professional athletes (such as NBA players) have omega-3 indices below 5%, while optimal levels are considered closer to 8%.”

“These findings offer clues about inflammation and mitochondrial-related metabolism, but their clinical importance requires larger and longer trials. Dr. Patrick emphasizes this uncertainty and closes by considering omega-3 fatty acids as another component of mitochondrial health.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that play critical roles in cardiovascular function, due to their participation in pathways involved in blood clotting, inflammation, and the contraction and relaxation of arteries.”

“The authors of the meta-analysis evaluated evidence gleaned from 40 randomized clinical trials investigating the effects of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) on cardiovascular outcomes in more than 135,000 people.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids may counter these stresses by calming inflammation, reducing clot formation, and stabilizing heart rhythms through effects on cell membranes of the heart. These combined actions could explain the broad reduction in cardiovascular events seen in the trial.”

“These oxylipins are often involved in the early stages of inflammation. Omega-3-derived oxylipins dropped in the blood after exercise, which may indicate that recovering muscle took them up and used them.”

“This double-blind, placebo-controlled study showed that supplementation with 2.9 grams of omega-3 fatty acids per day for 6 months has a significant effect on the immune system by decreasing inflammatory biomarkers by 50% and increasing anti-inflammatory markers by 100%. Inflammation is considered an important factor in disease progression.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids have a long list of health benefits, including lowering the risk of heart disease and reducing triglyceride levels. These nutritional compounds are also known to have anti-depressant and anti-inflammatory properties.”

“A Mediterranean diet consists of extra virgin olive oil, vegetables, oily fish, and nuts which contain polyphenols, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids which are known to attenuate inflammation and thought to prevent coronary thrombosis.”
