Additional benefit of omega-3 fatty acids for the clearance of metabolites from the brain

(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology) New research published online in The FASEB Journal suggests that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (found in fish oil), could improve the function of the glymphatic system, which facilitates the clearance of waste from the brain, and promote the clearance of metabolites including amyloid-β peptides, a primary culprit in Alzheimer's disease.
