Clinical studies of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in patients who have rheumatoid arthritis
Rheum Dis Clin North Am.
1991 May.
Abstract
Several studies have now demonstrated reproducible clinical benefits of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity after ingestion of n-3 fatty acids. Biologic changes induced by fish oils include decreases in the production of leukotriene B4, platelet activating factor and interleukin-1. Investigations now focus on the proper dose and duration of fish-oil dietary intervention in order to obtain optimum clinical effects. Their ultimate therapeutic role has not yet been determined.
