Aker BioMarine has announced the publication on a new study on krill oil that documents the suppression of fat accumulation and prevention of weight gain in rats when krill oil was added to a high fat diet. Researchers from University of Salento, Lecce, Italy, performed the study, where they investigated the effect of feeding rats a low-fat diet or a high-fat diet with or without krill oil for 12 weeks. The study is published in the online journal PLoS One. According to study author Lena Burri, PhD, "This study is one of several studies documenting the beneficial effects of krill oil on obesity-related disorders. This study, however, reveals further mechanisms behind the beneficial effect of krill oil and describes a beneficial regulation of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism as well as an improved mitochondrial function."
