The patients, who are facing the problem of inflammatory diseases such as asthma may experience relief by consuming fish oil, which is rich in omega 3 fatty acids.

Researchers at the University of Rochester in New York conducted the study and found that the production of IgE (the antibodies that cause allergic reactions and asthma symptoms in people with milder cases of asthma) can be reduced by the omega-3 fatty acid products.

Lead author Richard P. Phipps, the professor at the University of Rochester, said, “results showed that all responded to the omega-3 fatty acids to some degree, as evidenced by a reduction in the levels of IgE antibodies. But the cells from patients who were taking oral steroids were less sensitive to the omega-3 treatment”

"You really need high-quality, standardized material that's been processed and stored correctly before comparing results from one study to another study," he added.

Phipps said, "Our study used the pure, biologically active products in fish oil, known as 17-HDHA, and we've provided a clear line of evidence for why intake of high-quality fish oil is good”.
