Autoimmune diseases and Omega-3: does the effect last longer than vitamin D?

Omega-3s are also possible allies against autoimmune diseases. Their beneficial effects seem to last even longer than those of another important regulator of the immune system: vitamin D.

Multiple sclerosis: Vitamin D supplementation may block the action of autoimmune lymphocytes

Vitamin D can block brain inflammation, typical of multiple sclerosis, due to the action of T lymphocytes on neurons. It in fact, in laboratory mice, appears to interfere with the migration of immune cells from the lymph nodes to the central nervous system. 

Omega-3 and Omega-6 reduce cardiovascular risk associated with rheumatoid arthritis

Taking oils rich in omega-3 and omega-6 improves the lipid profile of those with rheumatoid arthritis and can reduce cardiovascular risk. This effect could be helpful in decreasing the risk in patients who are prone to a higher likelihood of developing cardiovascular disorders. 

Omega-3s could prevent rheumatoid arthritis

Women who eat a diet rich in fish containing omega three are less likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis, compared with those who consume small amounts. 

Vitamin D slows the progress of multiple sclerosis

Vitamin D may reduce the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and slow the progression of damage to the nervous system. It appears that in the early stages of the disease, patients with adequate serum vitamin D levels may develop up to 57 percent fewer brain lesions than those with lower levels.

Rheumatoid arthritis: increased EPA in plasma facilitates disease remission

Omega-3s would be able to counteract the progression of rheumatoid arthritis; with each 1% increase in EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) concentration in plasma, a 12% increase in the likelihood of disease remission is associated. 

Lupus: mouse study reveals DHA reduces lung and kidney injury

Omega-3s could counteract Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, a chronic autoimmune disease that mainly affects young women. In fact, according to a study in laboratory mice, DHA reduces lung and kidney lesions that occur in affected animals by more than 90 percent.
