A Nutrition and Metabolism study fed mice an unhealthy diet until tissue endocannabinoid levels rose, then gave krill oil; precursor levels fell. The authors suggest krill oil may work by reducing endocannabinoid biosynthesis. Mercola links this to omega-3's protective effect on the heart.

Why You Should Consider Stopping Fish Oil Now
In rats, 2.5% krill oil cut liver triglycerides more than the same amount of fish oil, and both suppressed fat-metabolising enzymes in the liver. The study's authors do not know why krill oil had the stronger effect; Mercola reads the rat data as a reason to prefer it.
