March 7, 2018 / biool / - according to a new study to be released at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology in Los Angeles on April 21-27, high fish intake is associated with a reduced risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) Photo source: Dr Annette Langer Gould of Kaiser medical institution in Southern California and colleagues examined the relationship between fish consumption and 13 markers of SNPs in fatty acid desaturase gene clusters (FADS1, FADS2, elov2) and MS risk in 1153 people High fish intake was defined as eating fish more than once a week or 1-3 servings a month, along with fish oil supplements The researchers found that higher fish intake was associated with a significantly lower risk of clinically relevant symptoms of MS than people who ate less than once a month without supplements Even after correction, two SNPs in FADS2, rs174611 and rs174618, were independently related to MS risk reduction "These analyses suggest that fish eating and PUFA biosynthesis have a preventive effect on MS risk." The author wrote "In the future, we will continue to repeat our research to determine whether this is due to the anti-inflammatory and metabolic functions of PUFAs, and whether the neurological function of PUFA is required."
