Combining HIIT and n-3 PUFA to Reduce Inflammation and Improve Metabolic Health

Combining Fish Oil and Exercise to Improve Obesity-associated Inflammation

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Sept 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this project is to understand the combined effects of fish oil and exercise in obesity-associated inflammation. The investigators hypothesize that fish oil will improve gut bacteria profiles, which will in turn potentiate the benefits of an exercise program and improve energy utilization and reduce inflammation and metabolic risk.
