Fortunately, this study presents a possible path to improving this age-related myelin decline.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It showed that omega-3 fatty acids play a role in brain processes that build up myelin and preserve what&#8217;s already there. &#8220;This opens up potential avenues to develop therapies and dietary supplements based on [lysophosphatidylcholine] LPC omega-3 lipids that might help retain myelin in the aging brain\u2014and possibly to treat patients with neurological disorders stemming from reduced myelination,&#8221; explained Sengottuvel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The results of the study were published in the <em>Journal of Clinical Investigation<\/em>.
