Evaluation of Marine Microorganism-Derived Oils Containing EPA and DHA for Triglyceride Improvement and Blood Circulation Enhancement

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: , are abundant sources of bioactive compounds, including EPA, known for their lipid-lowering effects and vascular benefits. Additionally, marine biodiversity offers a rich reservoir of compounds with potential health-promoting properties. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of EPA- and DHA-containing oils in improving triglyceride levels and enhancing blood circulation. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and nitric oxide (NO) were identified as pivotal players in the mechanism of action, with LPL facilitating neutral fat metabolism and NO regulating vascular tone and function. This study contributes to the growing evidence supporting the use of marine-derived compounds in preventing and managing CVD, emphasizing the ecological importance of marine ecosystems to human health by leveraging the bioactive potential of marine biodiversity sustainably.
