Dietary Restriction and Supplementation with Omega-3 Fatty Acids Improves Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Ratio
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Science Writer. In the omega-3 group, TNF-alpha (p=0.001), IL-6 (p=0.01), IL-10 (p=0.035), Resolvin D1 (p=0.048), and MCP-1 (p=0.04) improved significantly. Culture, genetics, and social factors contribute to obesity, which is associated...
Fish Oil Supplementation Reduces the Number of Circulating Extracellular Vesicles
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Science Writer. Researchers observed a significant decrease in the number of extracellular vesicles in circulation in participants given the fish oil supplement compared to the oily fish meal group (p=0.023) and control (p=0.007). Various...
High-Protein Supplementation Improves Muscle Mass and Body Weight in Subjects Undergoing Cancer Therapy
Written by Taylor Woosley, Science Writer. Findings of a meta-analysis including 37 studies featuring 3701 subjects shows that high-protein omega-3-enriched oral nutritional supplementation led to reduced body weight loss, increased muscle mass, and improved systemic...
Omega-3 Intake Is Negatively Associated with Phenotypic Aging
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Science Writer. Researchers observed a significant negative correlation between omega-3 intake and phenotypic age acceleration [beta= -0.4, P < 0.001]. Omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA are essential components of cell membranes that are...
Omega-3 Supplementation Improves Atopic Dermatitis Symptoms and QoL
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Science Writer. After 4 months treatment, researchers saw a significant decrease in SCORAD index within the intervention group (p<0.001). An imbalance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids has been implicated in the incidence of...
Omega-3 Fatty Acids Associated with Lower Risk of Total Stroke
Written by Taylor Woosley, Science Writer. A significant inverse relationship was shown for DHA, EPA, and DHA+EPA for both total stroke and ischemic stroke (p<0.05). Over the last two decades there has been an increase in absolute number of incident strokes by...
Omega-3 Supplementation Improves Clinical Pregnancy Rate in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Written by Taylor Woosley, Science Writer. Multivariable logistic regression findings show that for two women with the same BMI, the odds of becoming pregnant in the omega-3 group was 65-fold higher than the placebo group (p=0.022). Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)...
Combination of Resistance Training and Fish Oil Administration Improves Muscle Strength and Reduces Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Postmenopausal Women
Written by Taylor Woosley, Science Writer. An 8-week intervention of twice/week resistance training and three times daily fish oil supplementation significantly improved physical function parameters and decreased TNF-α (-24.6%, p < 0.001) and IL-6 (-10.9%, p =...
Omega-3 Improves Lipid Profiles and Neonates with Intrauterine Growth Restriction
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Staff Writer. LDL, triglycerides, and total cholesterol was significantly lower in babies treated with omega-3 compared to controls (P < 0.05). Newborns with intrauterine growth restriction generally present with high triglycerides and...
