DHA supplements have long been recommended for pregnant women to assist in healthy fetal development. A new study finds DHA supplements can also reverse the impact of early prenatal stress on developing male babies. Read More
Study finds no strong evidence that omega-3 fish oils containing DHA raises LDL-C in those with high triglyceride levels. Read More
DHA may be more effective at reducing chronic inflammation than EPA. Read More
DHA treatment reduced the size of the damaged brain area and initiated a repair mechanism in animal models of stroke. DHA affected the levels of MANF and TREM2, two proteins critical for communication between brain cells. Read More
Using patient-derived adult stem cells, researchers found fish oil created an antidepressant response. Read More
The gene Elovl2 appears to play a significant role in age-associated functional and anatomical aging in mouse retinas. The finding has direct implications for age-related eye diseases, such as macular degeneration. When the expression of the gene was boosted, age-related visual function improved. Read More
Adding a lysophospholipid form of EPA, LPC-EPA, to the diet increased omega 3 fatty acid levels up to 100 fold in the brains of mice, researchers report. The amount required for the boost in Omega 3 levels is less than a milligram a day. In humans, researchers report, the equivalent is less than a quarter of a gram of LPC-EPA per day to have the same effect. Read More
Contrary to previous findings, researchers report Omega 3 fatty acids do not help improve reading, learning and memory skills in school aged children. Read More
Omega 3 fatty acids and DHA can help photoreceptors and RPEs to survive damage or disease, helping to protect vision. Read More
A new study reports increased risk of schizophrenia in mice whose mothers were deprived of DHA during pregnancy. Read More
RIKEN researchers discover deprivation of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids during pregnancy can alter gene expression, increasing the risk of schizophrenia in the offspring. Read More
Researchers shed new light on how DHA, a key essential Omega-3 fatty acid, could help promote cell survival and contribute to treating Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and stoke. Read More
