Prevention of febrile seizures by dietary supplementation with N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids

The promise of omega-3 against sudden unexpected death in epilepsy: until further notice, it remains innocent, until proven guilty

The present paper highlighted the importance of the recommended levels of fish consumption or omega-3 supplementation in order to minimize the frequency of seizures in people with uncontrolled epilepsy and, especially, to reduce the occurrence of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).

Treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome by dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids--a good idea?

Minor alterations of immune, neuroendocrine, and autonomic function may be associated with the chronic fatigue syndrome. omega-3 fatty acids decrease the production of putative mediators of inflammation, including interleukin-1, and tumor necrosis factor. Since interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor are the principal polypeptide mediators of immunoregulation, reduced production of these cytokines by dietary supplementation with omega-3, may be a possible mechanism for the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome.
