[:it]Esistono tre acidi grassi omega-3 principali: acido linolenico (ALA), acido eicosapentaenoico (EPA) e acido docosaesaenoico (DHA). L’ALA è di origine vegetale e si trova in semi commestibili come semi di lino e in oli come soia, colza e olio di canapa. EPA e DHA si trovano nel mondo marino, come pesci, alghe e fitoplancton.
Questo studio confronta la capacità di combattere il cancro degli omega-3 di origine vegetale rispetto a quelli marini, in particolare di prevenitre lo sviluppo del tumore al seno. l risultati mostrano che gli omega-3 a base marina sono otto volte più efficaci nell’inibire lo sviluppo e la crescita del tumore.
Pubblicato su Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry 2018, lo studio è stato effettuato su topi con una forma altamente aggressiva di carcinoma mammario umano chiamata HER-2 e che colpisce il 25% delle donne con prognosi sfavorevole. L’assunzione di omega-3 a base marina ha ridotto la dimensione dei tumori del 60-70% e il numero di tumori del 30%.

There are three main omega-3 fatty acids: linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The ALA is of plant origin and is found in edible seeds such as flax seed and in oils such as soy, canola and hemp oil. EPA and DHA are found in the marine world, such as fish, algae and phytoplankton.
This study compares the ability to fight cancer of plant-based omega-3s compared to marine cancers in particular to prevent breast cancer development. The results show that marine-based omega-3s are eight times more effective in inhibiting tumor growth and growth.
Published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry 2018, the study was performed on mice with a highly aggressive form of human breast cancer called HER-2 and affecting 25% of women with unfavorable prognosis. Sea-borne omega-3 intake reduced the size of tumors by 60-70% and the number of tumors by 30%.
