In a randomized controlled trial across 26 centers in Canada and Australia, 1,228 adults receiving maintenance hemodialysis took either four fish-oil capsules daily (4 g/day of omega-3 fatty acids, including 1.6 g of EPA and 0.8 g of DHA) or a corn-oil placebo and were foll... cardiovascular omega-3

From the publication: > Our finding that supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids normalizes the protein levels of BDNF after TBI suggests that BDNF mediates the beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids on cognitive function. [...] > It is notable that fish oil supplementation increased BDNF but did not affect cognitive function in intact rats. It is possible that slight changes in BDNF may not significantly affect cognition under normal conditions. It seems likely, however, that under pathological weakness small decreases in BDNF can be a factor to further deteriorate cognitive functio... brain omega-3 tissue repair bdnf tbi
