越来越多的证据表明 Omega-3 多不饱和脂肪酸 (PUFA) 补充剂可以减少攻击性。然而，针对非特定人群的成年人的实验研究很少。我们假设 Omega-3 补充剂会减少非临床参与者自我报告的攻击性。在一项双盲随机试验中，两组年龄在 18-45 岁之间的参与者 (N = 194) 接受了为期 6 周的治疗，每天服用 638 毫克二十二碳六烯酸 (DHA) 和 772 毫克二十碳五烯酸 (EPA) 或等量的椰子油（安慰剂）。在基线和 6 周治疗期后测量自我报告的攻击性。研究结果表明，Omega-3 补充剂在 6 周结束时显着降低了自我报告的攻击性 (d = 0.31)。总之，该实验表明 Omega-3 给药对于减少普通人群的攻击性具有有益的作用。
There is emerging evidence that Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) supplements can decrease aggression. However, experimental studies with adults from non-specific populations are scarce. We hypothesized that Omega-3 supplements would decrease self-reported aggression among non-clinical participants. In a double-blind randomized trial, two groups of participants (N = 194) aged 18-45 from the general population followed a 6-weeks treatment with 638 mg docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and 772 mg eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) per day or the equivalent quantity of copra oil (placebo). Self-reported aggressiveness was measured at baseline and after the 6-week treatment period. Findings showed that Omega-3 supplements significantly decreased self-reported aggressiveness at the end of the 6-week period (d = 0.31). In conclusion, this experiment indicates that Omega-3 administration has beneficial effects in reducing aggression among the general population.
