Abstract in brief

  • Omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA, found in oily fish, help reduce inflammation by decreasing the activity of immune cells and the production of inflammatory chemicals.
  • They produce weaker or anti-inflammatory molecules like resolvins, protectins, and maresins, which help resolve inflammation, and work by altering cell membranes and blocking inflammatory gene activation.
  • Both animal studies and human clinical trials show omega-3s are effective in managing inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and protecting against heart disease, with potential benefits for critically ill patients.]
