Abstract
Fish oil is oil derived from the tissues of oily fish. Fish oil can be obtained from eating fish or by taking supplements. Fish that are especially rich in the beneficial oils known as omega-3 fatty acids include mackerel, herring, tuna, salmon, cod liver, whale blubber, and seal blubber. Omega -3 fatty acids are poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and are essential fatty acids (EFA), as humans cannot synthesise them de novo and must depend on dietary sources. Fish and sea foods are the richest dietary sources of the longchained omega-3 EFA eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA is selectively concentrated in synaptic neuronal membranes and contributes to unique biophysical properties and mediate receptor activity and signal transduction. Early intervention might also prove useful in potentially treating age-related memory International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 11 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com
Fish oil supplements may help prevent and treat age-related memory loss by providing essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, which contribute to neuronal function and signal transduction.
