Study. Oily fish fights bone cancer

The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Illinois and published their findings in the latest issue of the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.

Bone sarcoma is a cancerous tumor that develops in the bones and is one of the most common bone cancers in children, before the age of 10, in adolescents and adults and more than twice in men.

It is customary to develop a tumor in the bones surrounding the knee in particular, and often moved to the lungs, where about 80% of cases of transmission of the tumor to the lungs.

In a study of mice infected with the disease, the team discovered that foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids helped stimulate the growth and spread of cancer cells.

Omega-3 fatty acids are rich in compounds called epoxies that have anti-inflammatory properties, target cancerous tumors in bones, and help prevent their spread into the lungs.

These acids are derived from plant sources such as flaxseed and oils such as soybean oil and canola, or oily fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines, the salmon, fish oil and seaweed.

"Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory and painkilling properties, but the study showed that it was anti-cancer and prevented the proliferation of cancer cells," said Dr. Adetti Das, head of the research team. Fatty acids lead to the formation of these substances in the body and have beneficial therapeutic effects, especially in cancer patients if they are associated with chemotherapy and other anticancer drugs.

A previous study found that eating fatty fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids in the growth and development of nerve tissue, which can promote them

These fatty acids play a role in the production of melatonin that regulates sleep and wakefulness.

Research suggests that pregnant women eating oily fish, high in omega-3 fatty acids, can protect their children from asthma. Childhood .- (Anatolia)
