Obesity, which causes the formation of many metabolic diseases, also increases the country’s health costs to serious levels. When it comes to integration, the permanent treatment solutions appear to be elementary.

In addition to these methods, it is believed that omega-3 multi-insaturated fatty acids may be effective on body weight loss. The synthesis of linoleic acid and α-linoleic acid is not possible in the human body, it is necessary to be taken with nutrients. Especially eikosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and dokosaheksaenoic acid (DHA) are noted that omega-3 multi-insaturated fatty acids can be effective on body weight loss through different metabolic changes. However, when studies are conducted, the effects of omega-3 multi-insaturated fatty acids keep this uncertainty. The purpose of this edition is to provide up-to-date information in the literature about the role of omega-3 multi-unsaturated fatty acids in body weight management and the recommended mechanisms of action.
