EPA and DHA also promote anti-inflammatory activity. As a result, fish oil is used for various health conditions. The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil help to balance the omega-6 fatty acids, which are found mostly in vegetable oils. When these two groups of fatty acids are out of balance, the body releases chemicals that promote inflammation. Some people appear to produce more of these inflammatory chemicals when they are under psychological stress. With a fatty acid imbalance, inflammatory response to stress appears to increase.
EPA and DHA also promotes immune function, probably as a result of their effect on prostaglandin production. Perhaps, as a result of this effect, fish oil has helped promote healthy cellular reproduction in animals and humans, although this evidence is still preliminary.
Preliminary evidence also has shown that omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil may promote the regulation of heart rhythm.
Primitive diets have much higher levels of EPA and DHA than modern and western diets. As a result, some researchers and health practitioners believe that most people who eat a typical diet are likely to be consuming less-than-optimal amounts of EPA and DHA. To a limited extent, omega-3 fatty acids from vegetable sources, such as flaxseed oil can covert to EPA.
