Immunomodulation - A Key Feature of Fish Oil Supplementation for Clinical Applications

Tuesday, February 21, 2012 (Recorded)

Nutritional immunology is an emerging science with great potential to impact human health.  The immune system is uniquely capable of not only orchestrating an inflammatory response to injury or infection, but also receiving biochemical and physiologic signals from every other organ system in the body.  More recent scientific evidence suggests that Omega-3 fatty acids found in concentrated fish oil may influence the function of both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system.  We will review the critical elements of fish oil as it relates to immunomodulation, with an emphasis on clinical applications in various medical disciplines.
