A new study has found that inflammation in obese mice was reduced when they were fed omega-3 fatty acids that can lead to diabetes.

In the United States one of the most popular dietary supplements are fish oil supplements that contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids.

Study co-author Saswata Talukdar, a post-doctoral fellow at University of California, San Diego, said that how exactly omega-3 fatty acids work has not been figured out and that is why omega-3 fatty acids are widely believed to be beneficial.
