Omega-3 Fatty Acid Prevents Parkinson’s Disease

Scientists have discovered that the omega-3 fatty acid DHA can prevent the development of Parkinson’s disease in mice.

The scientists found that the animals on the omega-3-rich diet did not exhibit brain damage from the MPTP, whereas the mice fed the ordinary diet experienced all the Parkinson’s-like effects of MPTP exposure, including a 31 percent drop in dopamine-producing neurons and a 50 percent decrease in dopamine.

The researchers concluded that excessive amounts of omega-6 fatty acids in the brain and low amounts of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA may increase the susceptibility to Parkinson’s.
