Research In Mice May Help Explain Mechanism Behind Anti-Inflammatory Effects Of Dietary Omega-3, Omega-9 Fatty Acids.

eported that research “in mice may help explain the mechanism behind the anti-inflammatory effects of dietary omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids that help protect against obesity and metabolic disease.” Specifically, “two G protein-coupled receptors – GPR120 and GPR40 – play critical roles, ‘as mediators of the beneficial effects of dietary unsaturated fatty acids in the context of obesity-induced insulin resistance,’” suggested the study published online in the journal Endocrinology. http://www.medpagetoday.com/Endocrinology/Diabetes/53408
