ba ckground: although some studies have shown positive effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on nutritional status of cancer patients undergoing different treatments, there is no consistency in results. the aim of this study was to examine the effects of omega-3 fatty acid on the nutritional status of gastric cancer patients during the course of chemotherapy. m ethods : in a double-blin...

background: serum levels of lipocalin 2 (lcn 2) and retinol-binding protein-4 (rbp 4), increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm). we sought to determine whether serum lcn 2 and rbp 4 change after an intervention with omega-3 fatty acids supplementation in diabetic patients. methods: forty-five type 2 diabetic patients from iranian diabetic association in tehran, iran in 2013 were randomly rec...

Background Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids on pregnant women with major depressive disorder (MDD). This meta-analysis was conducted to systematically evaluate the clinical applicability of omega-3 fatty acids in treating depression in pregnant women. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared omega-3 fatty acids ...

Introduction: Exercise training and omega 3 supplements play an important role in modulating the levels of oxidative and inflammatory mediators. The present study conducted aimed to investigate the effects of aerobic training and omega-3 supplementation on the levels of oxidative (MDA) and inflammatory (CRP) mediators and lipid profile in overweight and obese women. Materials and Methods: The ...

a growing number of observational and epidemiological studies have suggested that mental illness, in particular mood disorders, is associated with decreased dietary intake and/or cellular abundance of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa). this has prompted researchers to test the efficacy of omega-3 pufa in a range of different psychiatric disorders. we have critically reviewed the double...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of omega-3 supplementation with 4 weeks of plyometric training on serum changes of brain derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) and oxidative stress and their relationship in active men. 28 physical education male students (age 23.21±1.98 year, height 174.25±5.34 cm, weight 66.83±7.49 kg, bmi 20.03±2.25 kg/m2) were randomly divided into four group...

A weakly nonlinear oscillator of natural frequency omega(0) and damping ratio delta is driven by an amplitude-modulated force of dimensionless amplitude epsilon, carrier frequency omega, and modulation frequency omega(1). Each of (omega - omega(0))/omega(0), omega(1)/omega(0), and delta is O(epsilon(2/3)) as epsilon --> 0. The response in this resonant neighborhood is a slowly modulated sine wa...

The biological effects of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are determined by their mutual interactions. This interaction extremely affects various functions. Lower consumption of omega-3 during gestation leads to various disorders, even in hearing. We aimed to assess the effect of low omega-3/omega-6 ratios on auditory nerve conduction. In this experimental study, the auditory brainstem response...
