Resolvin D1 impacts lupus progression
Resolvin D1 inhibits T follicular helper cell expansion in systemic lupus erythematosus.
High relevance for autoimmunity research
We focused on how Resolvin D1 (RvD1), a pro-resolving lipid, impacts systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Our study measured RvD1 levels and T follicular helper (Tfh) cell counts in SLE patients versus healthy individuals.

We found that higher RvD1 levels correlated with lower disease activity and fewer Tfh cells. RvD1 was effective in reducing Tfh cell activity in a mouse model and inhibited Tfh differentiation in lab tests.

Overall, RvD1 appears to play a significant role in managing SLE by suppressing Tfh cells and influencing immune responses.

Omega-3 shows mixed RA benefits
Effects of omega-3 supplementation on lipid metabolism, inflammation, and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Relevant as a nutritional intervention
We analyzed data from 18 randomized controlled trials involving 1018 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients to understand the effects of omega-3 supplementation. Our findings revealed that omega-3 significantly increased beneficial fatty acids, EPA, and DHA, while also decreasing harmful triglycerides and tender joint counts.

However, while some inflammation markers showed slight improvements, these changes were not statistically significant. Overall, omega-3 may help manage certain symptoms of RA, but the evidence remains mixed regarding its broader impact on inflammation.

Stable resolvin analogue shows promise
The chemically stable analogue of resolvin D1 ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by mediating the resolution of inflammation.
High relevance for autoimmune treatment
We explored the effects of a new, stable form of resolvin D1, called p-MPPF, on autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a condition affecting the nervous system. In our research, both p-MPPF and its unstable counterpart, RvD1, showed significant promise in reducing inflammation and improving symptoms.

This was evidenced by less severe disease progression, better spinal cord health, and changes in immune cell activity. Importantly, we discovered that both substances influenced immune cells in a way that avoids inflammation. Our findings suggest that these types of compounds could lead to improved treatments for autoimmune disorders.

Eczema relief
My experience with this product has been great. The capsules are smaller at 500mg, making them easy to swallow compared to the standard size. When bitten, they taste of olive oil with rosemary and lack the fishy smell. I take a prophylactic dose of two capsules daily. My skin is now more hydrated and elastic, with dryness disappearing. My palms, prone to eczema, remain smooth, and if I do develop it, it heals quickly. Omega-3 from Life Extension is high quality and effective.

Skin improvement
This is not the first time I have ordered this Omega 3. Excellent quality and good dosage. I purchased the first jar upon a beautician's recommendation due to dryness on my feet. After a week of taking it, I noticed significant improvement. The capsules are large, matte, and opaque, but not difficult to swallow. Each capsule contains oily liquid, not jelly as mentioned in some reviews. I take one capsule twice a day along with vitamin C.

Nail strength
My nails were strengthened and my skin tone evened out. This Omega is exceptional! My nails, which were previously peeling, became much tougher after a month of taking these capsules. Moreover, the tone of my face has smoothed out, with fewer rashes. I highly recommend this product and I am ordering my second jar. Taking more capsules at once is more economical.

Omega-3s may improve SLE outcomes
Serum fatty acid profiles in systemic lupus erythematosus and patient reported outcomes: The Michigan Lupus Epidemiology & Surveillance (MILES) Program.
Study relevance: Potential dietary impact
We explored the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using data from 418 participants. Our analysis focused on how different fatty acids relate to disease activity, pain, and sleep quality.

The results highlight that higher levels of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, are linked to better outcomes in SLE patients. Although our findings support the idea that omega-3s can be beneficial, more research is needed to confirm these benefits and their long-term effects.

This suggests that improving omega-3 intake through diet could be an effective strategy for managing SLE.

Omega-3 fatty acids, type 1 diabetes
Reduction of Chemokine CXCL9 Expression by Omega-3 Fatty Acids via ADP-Ribosylhydrolase ARH3 in MIN6 Insulin-Producing Cells.
Moderate relevance to autoimmune disorders
We explored the protective effects of omega-3 fatty acids on insulin-producing cells, particularly focusing on their role in reducing inflammation related to type 1 diabetes. Our findings suggest that omega-3s boost a protein called ARH3, which helps lower the expression of a harmful chemokine, CXCL9.

This mechanism seems to shield β cells from autoimmune attacks, potentially decreasing the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Overall, while omega-3s show promise as an anti-inflammatory agent, the full impact on autoimmune disorders necessitates further investigation.

Omega-3s show mixed benefits
Association between Omega-3 fatty acids and autoimmune disease: Evidence from the umbrella review and Mendelian randomization analysis.
Moderate relevance to autoimmune treatment.
We explored the relationship between omega-3 fatty acids and autoimmune disorders, conducting a comprehensive review and Mendelian randomization analysis.

Our findings indicate that omega-3s provide benefits primarily for rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, improving disease activity and reducing inflammation.

However, there was no strong evidence supporting their effectiveness against other autoimmune conditions like psoriasis and multiple sclerosis. This suggests that while omega-3s may benefit certain illnesses, more research is needed for others.

Omega-3 helps reduce lupus activity
Correction of omega-3 fatty acid deficiency and improvement in disease activity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus treated with krill oil concentrate: a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Highly relevant for lupus treatment.
We conducted a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to examine how omega-3 fish oil, specifically from krill oil concentrate (KOC), affects patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Our research showed that KOC effectively corrected omega-3 deficiency and led to a decrease in disease activity for patients with more severe symptoms.

While outcomes were promising, we believe that further studies are necessary to confirm the long-term benefits of omega-3 supplementation for managing lupus.
