What is the Role of Omega 3 Fatty Acids in Inflammation?

Omega 3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. They achieve this by modulating the production of eicosanoids, which are signaling molecules derived from fatty acids. EPA and DHA are particularly effective in reducing the production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and increasing the production of anti-inflammatory ones. This has significant implications for inflammatory diseases and conditions such as arthritis and cardiovascular disease.
