In a new push to figure out whether fish oil can help with conditions from heart disease to depression, scientists are digging deeper into its key nutrient: omega-3 fatty acids
Injecting forms of omega-3 fatty acids directly into the bloodstream shows promise in treating stroke and other conditionsIn a new push towith conditions from heart disease to depression, scientists are digging deeper into its key nutrient: omega-3 fatty acids.
Studies suggest omega-3s may benefit patients with autoimmune diseases or reduce damage after strokes, she said. Other studies show that the fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties, help certain critically ill patients recover after surgery. The therapeutic, an emulsion of omega-3s—microdroplets of oil dispersed in a watery liquid—is injected directly into the bloodstream, unlike fish-oil pills which have to go through the digestive system. It hasn’t yet been tested in humans, but studies in mice and rats show that within an hour the omega-3s in the emulsion start preventing cells in the brain and other organs from dying when deprived of oxygen, such as in a stroke, reducing cell death by between 65% and 90%, he said.
