Fish Oil : ce qu'il faut savoir

Fish oil supplements have long been linked with a variety of brain benefits, but new research suggests that one of the omega-3 fatty acids these supplements contain could interfere with the brain's repair processes. Fish Oil s'impose comme l'un des sujets qui mobilisent l'attention en Singapore ce jeudi.

Les faits

• Fish oil supplements have long been linked with a variety of brain benefits, but new research suggests that one of the omega-3 fatty acids these supplements contain could interfere with the brain's repair processes.
• New research from the Medical University of South Carolina suggests fish oil supplements could do more harm than good for those who have had repeated head injuries.
• MUSC researchers found that a specific part of fish oil called EPA — an omega-3 fatty acid — can interfere with how the brain heals itself after an injury.
• According to a study published by researchers at the University of South Carolina Medical University on the 30th, EPA, one of the major components of fish oil, may impair its ability to recover from repeated minor brain injuries.
• Fish oil supplements are everywhere, and people take them for a range of reasons, often without a clear understanding of their long-term effects," says neuroscientist Onder Albayram, from Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).

L'essentiel

Dans le détail, New research from the Medical University of South Carolina suggests fish oil supplements could do more harm than good for those who have had repeated head injuries.

Sur le fond, MUSC researchers found that a specific part of fish oil called EPA — an omega-3 fatty acid

Concrètement, According to a study published by researchers at the University of South Carolina Medical University on the 30th, EPA, one of the major components of fish oil, may impair its ability to recover from repeated minor brain injuries.

Au-delà de ce constat, Fish oil supplements are everywhere, and people take them for a range of reasons, often without a clear understanding of their long-term effects," says neuroscientist Onder Albayram, from Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).

Reste à préciser que the researchers speculate that fish oil supplements containing EPA may increase the risk of CTE if, by impairing cellular recovery, it exacerbates the effects of mild concussions that can easily go unchecked.

Les chiffres

À noter par ailleurs : Studies have shown that omega-3, widely known as a health functional food, can interfere with brain recovery in certain circumstances.

Dans la foulée, a study of mice affected by mild traumatic head injuries showed that animals fed with diets containing the omega-3 fatty acid EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) performed worse on spatial memory and learning tasks after the injuries.

À ce stade, Rather than omega-3s aiding recovery as previous research has suggested, it seems EPA might actually get in the way of blood vessel repair, as it reprograms their metabolic activity.

Le contexte

Reste à préciser que this idea of fish oil being a one-size-fits-all benefit doesn't work once you start investigating interactions," says neuroscientist Onur Eskiocak, from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

À noter par ailleurs : Fish oil might not be the brain booster you think it is, new research suggests.

Plus précisément, Researchers recently found that for certain people, specifically those who have sustained repeated mild head injuries, fish oil might do more harm than good.

Dans la foulée, High doses of fish oil may actually hinder the brain's ability to repair itself specifically after repeated mild head injuries or concussions, researchers found. (iStock).

À ce stade, Instead of protecting the brain, long-term use of fish oil appeared to make it more vulnerable.
