Feeding obese mice omega-3 fatty acids reduced inflammation that can lead to diabetes, a new study finds.
By studying fat tissue in the mice consuming fish oil, researchers found omega-3 fatty acids seem to act on a particular receptor on cells, GPR120, which, when activated, blocks inflammatory processes.
Chronic inflammation can lead to insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes.
Therefore, "if we can fix the inflammation part, it's possible that we could prevent insulin resistance or even ameliorate diabetes," Talukdar explained.

I’ll say. I’ve been taking fish oil occasionally, but now will focus better on taking it. It did drop my tryglicerides in half, so I should keep taking it anyway.
How does one get rid of the “fishy tasting” horrible heartburn?
I keep trying but the periodic episodes shuts me down, is there premium brand that elevates?

I could not stand the fish after-taste with a lot of them. I almost quit taking them because until I found the lemon flavored ones.
Who knew???
My daughter has recently be diagnosed with lupus. My wife and I are trying to give her omega 3 but she is somewhat resistant. Omega 3 has mixed results in studies involving lupus but it has not shown to be harmful so we are trying it.
And you have to be careful of the amount you take ... to much can give you diarrhea. After all it is fish “oil”, a natural diuretic.
I can’t speak to heart burn but I have tried fish oils that don’t have a fish taste. I like Carlson’s brand which comes in a few flavors (lemon and orange, possibly more flavors) You can read user reviews at the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Carlson-Finest-Liquid-Omega-3-Bottle/dp/B001LF39RO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1283573821&sr=8-1
I can take capsules w/o problems and I take the brand from costco (link)http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11532928&search=salmon&Mo=8&cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&lang=en-US&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Sp=S&N=5000043&whse=BC&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntk=Text_Search&Dr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ne=4000000&D=salmon&Ntt=salmon&No=0&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Nty=1&topnav=&s=1
My wife wants to try the brand.
I've taken Nature's Bounty (or is it Nature Valley?) from WalMart with no problems.
CA....
Make sure it says “Enteric Coated” on the label. Enteric coated supplements are formulated to dissolve in the small intestine instead of the stomach, completely avoiding the GI issues. I’ve been taking them over a decade, never had a problem.

Sure, but how many mice really eat fish anyway? ;’)
Thanks MetaThought.
Reduce your carbs. Try it for two weeks, no potatoes, no rice, no bread, no cake, no candy...... Eat real cottage cheese and cheese and other fat.
I can testify that reducing carbs along with increase worked amazing wonders.
Heartburn will ease, no waking at 3:00 am, feeling of general well being might result.
There we go again, raising more healthy mice.
I use Nature's Bounty, buy 1 get 1 free from either Krogers or Walgreens and that is what I do. Had so dude in the vit isle give me that advice and it's worked for the past year. and I had horrible heartburn from them before I started freezing them.

Fishy taste only comes from cheap brands. Probably from china. Who knows how rancid or even what you Are getting? There are many high quality brands, I am sure, but one that I use is Nordic Naturals. It is proven in our family.
