Women may have a heightened cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk due to an increased physiological need for long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFAs) at different stages of life.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) alone, and not combined with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), reduced the risk of cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients, according to a new Chinese study.
A new review has identified omega-3 fatty acids and red yeast rice to have the strongest potential for use within nutraceuticals to target inflammation, due to strong data obtained from multiple randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
Norwegian marine oils producer, Grontvedt biotech, has made a significant new hire of Stig Jansson, former R&D manager at Nordic Naturals, for their chief innovation officer following plans to scale up their production.
A randomised control trial (RCT) reports that following the administration of flaxseed oil containing high amounts of alpha linoleic acid (ALA), scores for verbal fluency were significantly improved in the older adults, when compared to the control group....
A new review collating the highest level of research on n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and chronic disease prevention establishes significant inconsistencies in the literature, resulting from an expectation of a “drug” like effect by the researchers...
Seafood-based Omega-3 intake has been linked with a reduced incidence of chronic kidney disease, but no such association was found for plant-based sources.
A cross-sectional study of Korean adults observed that an increased intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) was associated with better hand grip strength (HGS).
Researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) are working to improve the shelf life of omega-3 fatty acids to fortify foods for longer missions to space.
The results of a study suggest that baseline levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can help to predict responses to antidepressants for those suffering from depressive mood disorders.
Researchers mining data from a previous study have found that omega-3 supplementation cut the rate of hospitalization for heart failure among patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. This effect was heightened for Black subjects, the authors said.
