Omega- for Parkinsons disease -

Omega-3 fatty acids are being studied for their effects on heart health, Alzheimer's disease, depression , and other conditions. Now, you can add Parkinson's disease to that list. In the new Canadian study, some mice got chow laced with DHA and other omega-3 fatty acids.

Other mice got ordinary food, which totally lacked DHA. The mice followed those diets for 10 months. Then they got a dose of a chemical that kills the same brain cells that die in Parkinson's disease. Calon, who works in Quebec at the Universite Laval, notes that the typical North American diet skimps on omega-3 fatty acids.

Calon and colleagues report their findings online in The FASEB Journal, published by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. By Miranda Hitti Reviewed by Louise Chang © WebMD, Inc. All rights reserved. Thanks for reading CBS NEWS. Please enter email address to continue.

The SoPD has not diwease any Omega- for Parkinsons disease with the company or associated parties. This post should not dor considered as an Dietary myths unveiled or an dizease of Parkibsons product. Recently published results from a clinical trial were interesting enough to stimulate this discussion. Omega-3 and omega-6 represent two families of fatty acids that have important biological functions in our bodies. A careful balance of them is required in our diets in order for us to function normally. Source: Foodandwine.

Omega- for Parkinsons disease -

The participants were clinically assessed every 6 months for the duration of the entire study 30 months. This effect was evident at the 18 month time point and remained to the end of the 30 months study:. RECAP 2: A clinical study involving 40 participants found that treatment with an omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid rich solution resulted in a stabilisation of motor symptoms during a 30 month treatment period.

In addition, no increase in levodopa treatment was observed in the treatment group compared to the placebo-treated group. Independent replication of this finding is required. I would be remiss if I did not question a set of results, and I am always seeking independent replication of new findings.

It is a critical step in the validation of new discoveries. Title: A novel oral nutraceutical formula of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids with vitamins PLP10 in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled proof-of-concept clinical trial.

Authors: Pantzaris MC, Loukaides GN, Ntzani EE, Patrikios IS. Journal: BMJ Open. PMID: This report is OPEN ACCESS if you would like to read it.

In this study, the investigators and yes, the co-founders of the company were among the authors conducted a month randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design, Phase II proof-of-concept clinical study.

They recruited 80 participants with relapsing—remitting multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis or MS is a chronic neuroimmunologic condition in which the immune system starts to attack the insulating protective covering or myelin on the branches or axons of neurons.

As that myelin is lost, a range of symptoms start to show themselves. S ymptoms can include double vision, blindness in one eye, muscle weakness and trouble with sensation or coordination.

The 80 participants in the study were randomised them into four groups 20 people in each group. We are now waiting for the results of that larger study. Title: The Effects of a 6-Month High Dose Omega-3 and Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Antioxidant Vitamins Supplementation on Cognitive Function and Functional Capacity in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Authors: Stavrinou PS, Andreou E, Aphamis G, Pantzaris M, Ioannou M, Patrikios IS, Giannaki CD. Journal: Nutrients. The determining factor is that the research is that it is peer-reviewed and published in solid scientific journals.

The study was randomised and double-blinded, meaning that no one involved in the study had any idea as to who was being treated with the investigational agent or the placebo treatment. And while the results are limited in description, I dug a little further and found additional the studies in mild cognitive impairment and multiple sclerosis.

View all posts by Simon. Studies in PD and MSA model mice that found that dietary DHA increased pathology. Does this indicate a problem with the models? Like Like. Hi Rhyothemis, Thanks for your message.

Maybe it is an issue with the models, I am not sure. I am also not promoting DHA either. This post was simply to initiate a discussion about an interesting clinical result. As I said several times in the post, I think independent validation is required now.

Kind regards, Simon. Like Liked by 1 person. I understand and thank you for blogging on this important topic. I really hope there is more investigation on this as it is quite puzzling and seems like it would be crucial to know if the models are flawed with respect to lipids.

This is a great find — after three months with simple omega-3 supplementation from flaxseed oil, test subjects did almost as well after three months as the test subjects in the Neuroaspis study did after 30 months — 5 points net improvement in UPDRS part III versus 5. Average age of the participants was 66, so any deficiencies in the conversion of ALA to DHA by the elderly is accounted for in the results.

Subjects were requested to consume supplements or placebo after lunch. I am a bit concerned that the placebo arm showed so much progression after only three months. That seems excessive. Be that as it may, this is a very encouraging result.

Recently, both clinical and experimental studies have reported that neuroinflammation and oxidative stress markedly contribute to the etiology of PD. Current clinical pharmacotherapies only temporarily relieve the symptoms of PD, accompanied by many side effects. Hence, searching for natural anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and neuroprotective agents has received great attention.
