essential fatty acids, particularly n-3s, your Omega-3 fatty acids seem to have certain beneficial effects on muscle development, particularly it seems for the older people. But we don't have great evidence longitudinal, we have some good acute studies that seem to show that...
And then there's other, I mean, essential fatty acids, particularly n-3s, your Omega-3 fatty acids seem to have certain beneficial effects on muscle development, particularly it seems for the older people.
you know anti-inflammatory role of Omega-3 which obviously there's there's a role in in you know muscle muscle um Mass with respect to inflammatory conditions right
you know there's there's a role in in you know muscle muscle um Mass with respect to inflammatory conditions right
really amazing work that you're doing Chris with respect to the omega-3 and its role in you know potentially being anabolic as you said and how this may be you know very relevant obviously for muscle disuse atrophy and perhaps sarcopenia
