Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D in immobilisation: Part B- modulation of muscle functional, vascular and activation profiles

Conclusion Overall, at the current doses, neither ω-3 nor vitamin D supplementation significantly attenuated declines in torque associated with immobilisation. It would appear that muscle function (described here in Part B) might not be as useful a marker of the effectiveness of a supplement against the impact of immobilisation compared to tissue composition changes (described in Part A).
