There's an article in the 9/3 issue of Cell that talks about GPR120 as an Omega 3 receptor. The study examines inflammation and insulin effects.
"GPR120 is a functional u-3 FA receptor/sensor and mediates potent insulin sensitizing and antidiabetic effects in vivo by repressing
macrophage-induced tissue inflammation."A lot of us suffer weight gain from our meds, and a lot of us are also helped by Omega 3s.
So, just for info, and here's hoping science keeps marching on and connecting the dots.
It's a free article.
