Fish Oil Good For Asthma

New research shows that the omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is more effective than docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in inhibiting inflammation.

Researchers obtained cells from 21 asthmatic adults and then cultured in different media: EPA, EPA-rich media, DHA, DHA-rich media, omega-6 media, or a control media. Various inflammation markers were then measured. The EPA and EPA-rich media were found to suppress production of inflammation markers much greater than the DHA medias.

Researchers suggested that DPA-rich fish oil may provide a prophylactic as well as an acute therapeutic treatment for adults with asthma and other inflammatory diseases.
