Singapore researchers discover omega-3 lipid's potential to combat fatty liver disease.
The liver is a crucial organ that performs several important functions and thus its well-being is crucial. According to recent research by the Duke-NUS Medical School, the omega-3 transporter protein called Mfsd2a plays a critical role in preventing fat accumulation in the liver. The finding could a...
Research from Duke-NUS Medical School reveals the omega-3 transporter protein, Mfsd2a, can prevent excessive liver fat storage, offering potential prevention against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The key lies in phospholipids, especially those containing omega-3 fatty acid DHA. The team aims to validate these findings through rigorous clinical trials.
