New research shows that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil may fight obesity by preventing the development of fat cells.
When working with cultured pre-adipocytes (immature fat cells) showed scientists that help that the food-to-reach DHA levels to prevent obesity by preventing the formation of new fat cells, or cause to already existing fat cells to undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis). DHA also caused fat cells to release their fat pad, a process that is commonly referred to as "fat burning" known.
Previous research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids in the diet to reduce body fat and fat accumulation in rodents, but the present study helps to explain how DHA may act to reduce obesity.
