University of Iowa researchers say that taking fish oil can start a chain reaction in the body that can eventually lead to hair loss.
Cancer research scientists observed in mouse experiments that the omega-3 fatty acids in the oil build up in the mice’s skin and trigger an immune response that causes them to lose their fur.
Immunologist Bing Li studies cancer, not hair loss, but when his research on diet-related obesity and cancer produced “bald” mice, the scientist knew he had to investigate. This finding raises questions about taking fish oil It is considered beneficial to humans.
Rui Ye, a stem cell biologist at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, who was not involved In search, he finds the find interesting.
“This is perhaps the first report that a diet high in fish oil fats can cause hair loss.” – He told the world.
Fish oil is made up mostly of fatty acids, particularly omega-3 fatty acids — a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are marketed as dietary supplements to reduce the risk of conditions such as heart disease and asthma and to relieve joint pain.
