NCT ID NCT05295719

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at whether taking fish oil and doing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) could lower inflammation in people who are overweight or obese. Researchers measured changes in blood markers of inflammation and metabolism over 10 weeks. The goal was to see if the combination works better than either alone.
