“…The following conclusions represent the official position of the ISSN: Athletes may be at a higher risk for ω-3 PUFA insufficiency.Diets rich in ω-3 PUFA, including supplements, are effective strategies for increasing ω-3 PUFA levels.ω-3 PUFA supplementation, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has been shown to enhance endurance capacity and cardiovascular function during aerobic-type exercise.ω-3 PUFA supplementation may not confer a muscle hypertrophic benefit in young adults.ω-3 PUFA supplementation in combination with resistance training may improve strength in a dose- and duration-dependent manner.ω-3 PUFA supplementation may decrease subjective measures of muscle soreness following intense exercise.ω-3 PUFA supplementation can positively affect various immune cell responses in athletic populations.Prophylactic ω-3 PUFA supplementation may offer neuroprotective benefits in athletes exposed to repeated head impacts.ω-3 PUFA supplementation is associated with improved sleep quality.ω-3 PUFA are classified as prebiotics; however, studies on the gut microbiome and gut health in athletes are currently lacking.…”

Effects of excessive body fat on colostrum lipid patterns: overweight/obese vs. normal weight mothers by Qian Liu, Yan Liu, Di Yang, Yanpin Liu, Yan Liu, Weicang Qiao, Juncai Hou, Yaling Wang, Minghui Zhang, Kai Yang, Xiaofei Fan, Ziqi Li, Junying Zhao, Lijun Chen

“…Further analysis of the fatty acid composition of TAGs revealed that elevated maternal body weight enhanced the concentration of TAGs containing saturated or n-6 fatty acids and shortened the carbon number of TAGs. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)/arachidonic acid (AA)/choline-containing lipids, such as DHA-containing TAGs, AA/DHA-containing phosphatidylethanolamine, and choline-containing phospholipids, were present in higher levels in the colostrum of OW/OB mothers than NW mothers. …”

Modulatory effect of Echium plantagineum oil on the n-3 LC-PUFA biosynthetic capacity of chicken (Gallus gallus) by Jesús Villora, José Antonio Pérez, Nieves Guadalupe Acosta, Deiene Rodríguez-Barreto, Pedro Juan Alonso, Mónica B. Betancor, Alexandr Torres, Sergio Álvarez, Covadonga Rodríguez

“…Poultry can be a sustainable source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) through the bioconversion of dietary alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3). …”
