Omega-3 fatty acids (also referred to as n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids) in the diet come from two sources: marine (fish, krill and algae) and land plants. The marine omega-3 fatty acids, ...

A research team has discovered that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a major omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil, directly relaxes smooth muscle in the male reproductive tract by blocking specific calcium ...

Camelina sativa oil and fatty fish are rich in polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, but their health benefits seem to differ. A new study from the University of Eastern Finland shows that camelina ...
