Fisl Oil plus a low-cal Diet equals less oxidation in the body!
posted Thursday, 8 June 2006
| A diet high in fish oil and low in calories can reduce markers of inflammation by up to 90 percent, researchers wrote in the Journal Life Sciences. The study looked at the effects of fish oil and/or low-calorie diets on markers of inflammation—such as lipid oxidation levels and concentrations of superoxides, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes B4—in both young and old mice. The animals received either corn oil or fish oil, and those on calorie-restricted diets received the same dosages of corn oil or fish oil as did the controls. |
| Older mice on the corn oil diet had superoxide levels about 18 percent higher than their younger counterparts. Younger mice on the calorie restricted diet had superoxide levels about 35% lower, while for those on the fish-oil diet the decrease was about 60%. In calorie restricted younger mice consuming fish oil, superoxide levels were decreased by 90%. [Kim YJ, Kim HJ, No JK, Chung HY, Fernandes G.
