omega-3 supplementation shown to slow cognitive decline in study of elderly Chinese women and men

Just the press release, but DHA and EPA found to improve nerve cell survival, reduce neuroinflammation and decrease oxidative stress via "resolvins"

Omega-3, DHA lowers pressure and heart rate

Omega-3 deficient diets alter brain neurochemistry resulting in mood changes

Omega-3 lowers anxiety and inflammation

omega-3 equivalent to NSAIDS in pain management and inflammation

Omega-3 reduces inflammation in patients with autoimmune disease

OMega-3 inhibits inflammation via decreased phosphorylation of lkappaBalpha and resultant decreased disassociation of NF-kappaB and decreased cytokine production.  This occurs through TLR-4.

study finds that omega 3, particularly DHA, protects and preserves the blood brain barrier

Study finds that higher omega 3 intake over time associated with a reduction in blood clots, heart arrhythmias, lower triglycerides, lower heart rates and lower blood pressure.

Omega 3 essential fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, decrease LPS activation of NF-kappaB via PPAR-gamma activation.

Omega-3 lowered breast cancer incidence by 69%

supplementation of 2.6 grams of n-3 found to increase NO and VO2max in elite cycling athletes.  This has applications for all endurance athletes.  

randomized study finds no difference in attention, memory in children born to mothers supplementing with DHA.  Good randomized design, but several problems.  First, did these women need supplementation.  No testing was done to determine need.  They may have needed more or none at all--the standard throw a dart on the wall and hope it sticks paradigm.  Second, Neurologcial development starts from day one, so do properly determine effect, the authors need to start support at conception or even better- before.  This follows that logic that women desiring conception should start extra folic acid 3 months prior. The literature is moving in the right direction, but they are still limiting themselves.  

Another rat study as alot of the studies are with BDNF.  Dietary n-3 reduce oxidative stress and inflammation and increase BDNF.

Omega 3 review lowers triglycerides

mixture of omega-3 and GLA shown to statistically lower LDL.  The mixture that was statistically significant was 4:2.

Omega-3 reduce inflammation, inhibit tumor growth, inhibit angiogenesis, induce cancer cell death, and inhibit estrogen signaling

meta-analysis reveals that omega-3 supplementation can decrease levels of homocysteine

Omega 3, DHA and EPA, reduce LPS stimulated inflammation via PPAR gamma activation.
