Report Summary
Omega-3s have long been indicated in reducing inflammation throughout the body, potentially aiding conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), vascular inflammation and traumatic brain injury. Recent discoveries point to the use of marine-sourced omega oils to more consciously modulate inflammation resolution in the human body.
Editor's Take
Only in the last decade was it discovered that the regulation of resolution of inflammation is mediated by specific physiological signals. Of particular relevance to the food and dietary supplement ingredient sector, omega-3 fatty acids have been instrumental in this new awareness since they are central to regulating resolution. As research continues, revelation related to omega-3-derived bioactive lipid mediators is at an all-time high.
Takeaways for Your Business
Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) include resolvins, maresins and protectins.
Eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid contribute to SPM formation.
SPMs actively turn down inflammation through triggering the resolution process.
