Abstract
The ω-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects in humans. Now, demonstrate that the G protein-coupled receptor GPR120 is a receptor for ω-3 fatty acids on macrophages and fat cells. Activation of GPR120 by ω-3 fatty acids inhibits multiple inflammation cascades in macrophages and reverses insulin resistance in obese mice.
