A 2022 systematic review found that omega-3 supplementation or dietary intake was associated with improved oocyte quality in women undergoing ART, evaluated by both morphological and morphokinetic parameters. Animal studies show that omega-3 rich diets prolong reproductive lifespan and improve oocyte mitochondrial dynamics. Good dietary sources include oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds
Specifically, we observed an upregulation of Glp1r (encoding glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, GLP-1R), Htr4 (encoding 5-HT4 receptor), and Ntsr1 (encoding neurotensin receptor 1, NTR1)
