Summary: Krill, a small marine crustacean from the Antarctic Ocean, plays an important role in the marine ecosystem as a food source for most fish and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Solvent extraction is the most common method to obtain krill oil, which has shown a range of health benefits in clinical trials.

Summary: The study revealed that arthritis symptoms in older adults were related to disturbances in serum oxylipins, suggesting that certain oxylipins may be key effectors in arthritis in this population.

Summary: The study found that a high intake of dietary omega-3 PUFA or fish is associated with a reduced risk of developing AMD, particularly early and late AMD. An additional 1 g/d intake of omega-3 PUFA was associated with a 6% and 22% decrease in the risk of early and late AMD, respectively.

Summary: The association between omega-3 fatty acids (n-3) and allergic diseases varies due to genetic variation. This study aimed to identify and validate genetic variants that modify the relationship between n-3 and childhood asthma or atopy. Results showed that certain SNPs in the DPP10 region interacted with n-3 levels in plasma or diet and were associated with atopy in early childhood and at age 6.

Summary: This study examined the effect of supplementation with ethyl esters of linseed oil on the fatty acid profile in blood serum, erythrocyte membranes, and hair sebum of healthy beagle dogs. The results showed that the supplementation decreased the content of saturated fatty acids and increased the level of beneficial unsaturated fatty acids, especially those from the omega-3 family.

Summary: Oral mucositis (OM) is a painful condition caused by cancer treatments, impacting patients' quality of life and recovery. Current management strategies are insufficient, necessitating a search for new approaches. Utilizing ω-3 fatty acids to manage OM may be an effective strategy based on preliminary evidence.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between habitual fish oil use and the risk of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). A total of 408,023 participants without prior CKD were enrolled from the UK Biobank. Fish oil use and dietary intakes were assessed through questionnaires. The study found that habitual fish oil use was associated with a lower hazard of CKD, and there were consistent inverse relationships between fish consumption and circulating omega-3 PUFA concentration with incident CKD.

Summary: Fish oil supplementation has protective effects against diabetes-induced muscle atrophy, improving body weight loss and impaired glucose tolerance. It attenuates muscle atrophy by regulating protein synthesis, protein degradation, and autophagy pathways.

Summary: This study used the Mendelian randomization approach to explore the potential causal relationships between polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and osteoarthritis (OA), and found that higher levels of omega-6 fatty acids may reduce the risk of knee OA and hip OA. These results highlight the importance of maintaining optimal levels of PUFAs, especially omega-6 fatty acids, in individuals with a genetic predisposition to OA.

Summary: This study found that factors such as high education levels, older age, consumption of fish and seafood, and non-smoking are significantly associated with serum fatty acid concentrations in pregnant women, leading to a better omega-3 fatty acid profile. Further research is needed to explore the health consequences of these findings.

Summary: This study demonstrates a pilot scale protocol for obtaining omega 3-enriched oil from farmed gilthead sea bream viscera, which shows bioactivity and good quality for animal and human consumption. The extracted TFA ethyl esters enriched in PUFAE exhibit antioxidant activities and anti-adipogenic effects, proving beneficial for both farmed fish and human health. These results may promote the recovery and utilization of aquaculture by-products on a larger scale and contribute to the development of more sustainable business models in aquaculture resource utilization.
