Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated how krill oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids in phosphatidylcholine form, affects brain function in healthy elderly men, using brain activity measurements like near-infrared spectroscopy and EEG during cognitive tasks.
  • Results showed that after 12 weeks, the group taking krill oil exhibited greater brain activity and faster neural responses during memory and calculation tasks compared to those taking a placebo, indicating improved cognitive function.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that omega-3s from krill oil may enhance cognitive performance in the elderly, particularly because these fatty acids are integrated into phosphatidylcholine, which could have beneficial effects on brain activity.

@yamanty 同じω3系ですが 魚油とkrillでは同じEPA/DHAでも 魚油がトリグリセリド結合 krillがホスファチジルコリン結合 この違いが脳に与える効果の違いになるのでは？ と言う話のようです https://t.co/E5iwOCQdk6
