Omega-3 supplementation possible therapy for dry eyes

Omega-3 shown to increase muscle growth

review article finds omega-3 supplementation reduced inflammation in autoimmune disease.

Omega 3 supplementation found to blunt microglial TBI inflammation. 

omega-3 limit amyloid and oxidative damage; thus may decrease alzheimer's disease risk

Very nice read on effects of n-3 on inflammation.  Omega-3 decreases NF-kappaB via proposed decreased phosphorylation of lkappaBalpha.

rats fed high fructose diet and omega-3 diet found to have memory decline.  The purpose of this study was to look at the effects of Metabolic syndrome on the brain.

meta-analysis finds that omega-3 fatty acids decrease CRP, IL-6, and TNF-alpha.

Omega-3 improves insulin sensitivity

Omega 3 associated with decrease Breast cancer risk in women.

Omega-3 fatty acids can be used to predict risk for coronary heart disease death, especially sudden cardiac death.

Omega-3, DHA and EPA, exert anti-inflammatory effects through GPR120 receptor.  This improved insulin sensitivity and had diabetes effects in-vivo model.  The effect was through the reduction of macrophage-induced inflammatory cytokines.

diets with high high-fructose corn syrup and low omega-3 shown to slow cognitive processing in rat model.  This is basically, metabolic syndrome of the brain, as it is the result of hyperinsulinemia.

The purpose of this post is not that prednisone should be used to improve the fatty acid profile in those with Lupus.  That is ridiculous.  But, that fatty acid abnormalities are consistently found in Lupus and particularly omega-3 fatty acids should be evaluated.

Omega-3 supplementation beneficial in patients with Lupus.  This study found a reduction in oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction

diet and exercise increases BDNF.  Diets rich in omega 3, curcumin, and polyphenols increase BDNF and thus increase neuroplasticity and associated cognition.   In contrast, sugar and saturated fats in crease oxidative stress and worsened spatial learning.  This study is a review.  

Omega-3 fatty acids (fish oils) and depression

Omega-3 intake reduced inflammation and pain in Juvenile idiopathic arthritis.  Associated inflammatory markers were decreased in study.  Anti-inflammatory drug usage was decreased as well.

Higher omega 3 fatty acids associated with 81% lower risk of sudden cardiac death.

Animal model shows that n-3 intake reduced axonal injury after injury insult.  This implies a use in n-3 intake even after an insult has occured. This implies a role for n-3 in neuroplasticity.
