Omega-3s reduce ischemic stroke risk
We dove into the connection between omega-3 fatty acids and stroke risks by analyzing data from 29 global cohorts, involving over 183,000 participants.

Our findings revealed that higher levels of omega-3s, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, are linked to a reduced risk of total and ischemic strokes. Specifically, those with the highest omega-3 levels experienced a 17% lower incidence of total stroke and an 18% reduced risk of ischemic stroke.

However, it's important to note that omega-3 levels showed no impact on hemorrhagic stroke risk.

DHA reduces stroke damage in mice
We investigated the impact of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on stroke in diabetic mice. Our findings indicate that DHA significantly reduced brain damage and improved neurological functions.

The treatment not only decreased the inflammatory response but also lowered cell death within the brain. We noted remarkable changes in gene expression, suggesting that DHA promotes a protective environment in the brain after a stroke.

Overall, this research highlights DHA's potential as a therapeutic agent for stroke management in diabetic patients.

DHA promotes brain recovery post-stroke
We investigated the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid, on brain recovery after stroke due to ischemia-reperfusion injuries. In a study involving rats, we discovered that DHA significantly reduced brain damage by shifting microglia from a harmful pro-inflammatory state to a protective anti-inflammatory one.

By promoting M2 microglia and modulating specific signaling pathways, DHA helped in reducing inflammation and supported healing. However, using a PPARγ antagonist inhibited these helpful effects, pointing to the importance of this pathway in DHA’s neuroprotective role.

Having had a stroke, my doctor recommended fish oil, which I’ve taken since 2005. It's one of my favourite brands. However, acquiring it can be challenging, especially as it serves as my prescribed medication. I appreciate that Amazon sells it, but I ensure I'm purchasing directly from Amazon, not a third-party.

We explored the effects of combining omega-3 fatty acids and Copolymer-1 treatment on stroke recovery in a rodent model. The study used a two-phase approach, beginning with omega-3 supplementation followed by COP-1 immunization after a stroke event.

Results indicated that this combination led to significant improvements, including reduced neurological deficits and smaller infarct volumes. There was also a boost in neurogenesis.

These findings suggest a promising avenue for enhanced recovery in stroke patients when integrating dietary and medical strategies.

We explored the effects of icosapent ethyl, a fish oil-derived treatment, on major cardiovascular events in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Over nearly five years, this treatment significantly reduced events like stroke, heart attack, and cardiovascular death, showing effectiveness across all risk levels.

The biggest benefits were observed in those at higher baseline risk, with noticeable reductions in adverse events. Even though icosapent ethyl doesn't eliminate risk completely, it provides valuable protection, especially for the most vulnerable patients.
