| Summary: | Background Spinal cord injury is a life changing threatening neurological condition that completely changes subject’s life. In medical management recent advances has significantly improved diagnosis, stabilization, survival rate and well being of SCI patients, but there has been very small progression in its treatment, and some such as Stem cell transplantation etc. is very costly that is not possible for everyone to afford.So now a days major focus is on nutraceutical supplementation as they are easy to administer and easy to afford. Omega 3 fatty acid are important polyunsaturated fatty acids with some roles in normal cellular metabolism, they have Anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Studies have proved its beneficial role in ameliorating inflammation in different diseases and thus plays role in improving neurological outcomes after neuronal injury.Fish are the best source of omega 3 fatty acid,EPA & DHA are two main types of omega 3 fatty acid and both the sources are found in fish, salmon, tuna, mackerel, and sardines fatty fish are good source of EPA & DHA,and high in protein content and low in saturated fat.In SCI,inflammatory events results in activating various inflammatory markers so PUFA 3 helps in suppressing their activity, for healthy adults, the daily recommended level of omega?3 fatty acid is 300 mg.Leukotriene?5, thromboxane?3, and prostaglandin?3 are derived from essential fatty acids, and are known to be therapeutically important in inflammatory conditions as well as for mental health. A marine crustacean Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, has not been a traditional food in the human diet, its a rich source of high-quality protein, with the advantage over other animal proteins of being low in fat and a rich source of EPA and DHA. Antioxidant levels in krill are higher than in fish, suggesting benefits against oxidative damage. Finally, the waste generated by the processing of krill into edible products can be developed into value added products. Material and method Online ...
