Logan S, et al., Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation for 12 weeks increases resting and exercise metabolic rate in healthy community-dwelling older females. PLoS One. 2015 Dec 17;10(12):e0144828.
Objective: To investigate the effect of dietary fish oil (FO) supplementation for a 12-week period on metabolic and physical health parameters of community-dwelling older female adults.
Conclusion: We have demonstrated that FO supplementation (2 g/d EPA, 1 g/d DHA) for 12 wk in healthy community dwelling older females increased metabolic rate and fat oxidation at rest and during exercise, decreased resting and exercise HR and increased lean mass and physical function.
