Abstract

Since at least the 1950s, when cod liver oil was found to be effective in treating illnesses including dermatitis and arthritis, the therapeutic effects of omega-3 fatty acids, which are plentiful in some fish oils, have been identified. Scientists observed in the 1980s that Eskimos who ate a fish-rich diet had better heart health than their mainland counterparts. A number of human illnesses are influenced by inappropriate, excessive, or uncontrolled inflammation. One of the primary pathophysiological pathways causing neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative illnesses has been identified as inflammation. Despite the fact that inflammation plays a role in many illnesses, there are currently no viable anti-inflammatory therapy methods. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) are able to produce a variety of n-3 PUFA-derived metabolites, including, which can reduce signs of depression and have anti-inflammatory properties. Specialised pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), also known as maresin (MaR) and protectin (PD), have significant anti-inflammatory effects. They are advantageous in all inflammatory disorders and also regulate the neurological system, blood pressure, coagulation, blood glucose tolerance, and processes associated with inflammation.
