Science Daily takes an in-depth look at the disease lupus and how to potentially a known trigger. An omega 3 fatty acid known as DHA has been linked in recent research to warding off lupus when environmentally triggered. This is making large strides toward being able to combat this disease.
Key Takeaways:
- Consuming an omega-3 fatty acid called DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, can stop a known trigger of lupus and potentially other autoimmune disorders
- A team of Michigan State University researchers has found that DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, can stop a known trigger of lupus
- The preclinical study looked at the effect of DHA on lupus lesions in the lungs and kidneys of female mice that were already genetically predisposed to the disease
