Also looking at the first study I posted that omega 3 displaces Arachidonic acid and that arachidonic acid is far more effective at stimulating prostaglandins thus causing excess inflammation and autoimmune conditions. Well foods highest in arachidonic acid is meat ranging from chicken, lamb, beef, pork. So why would these foods be peaty?
Found this study saying that cooking meat doubles arachidonic acid in beef.
Assessment of the arachidonic acid content in foods commonly consumed in the American diet. - PubMed - NCBI
So cooked meat should be very inflammatory through this mechanism? So maybe fresh fish cold cut like sushi is less harmful than eating meat. Looking at the american diet high in steak, burgers etc compared to japan eating cold cut fresh fish it sure seems that way. No one ever taken this into consideration?
Also this study
Nutrition and Reproductive Health: Sperm versus Erythrocyte Lipidomic Profile and ω-3 Intake
The effects of supplementation were clearly visible. They were statistically significant for EPA (p < 0.01) and DHA (p < 0.03). In particular, arachidonic acid levels in the erythrocyte membranes decreased after supplementation (p < 0.009). This could be indicated as favourable remodelling of the erythrocyte membranes due to the ω-3 supplementation, with exchange of membrane lipids with the fatty acid pool enriched with the ω-3 supplementation, so that less inflammatory status can be obtained from a better ω-6/ω-3 balance. Considering one patient who exited from the study, the risk of cardiovascular disease after treatment decreased to the intermediate range (4–8%) in 8 out of the 9 studied patients.
A higher DHA content was associated with better sperm morphology and function. On the other hand, it is well known that polyunsaturated fatty acids are particularly susceptible to peroxidation damage by free radicals. Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) play significant role for physiological sperm function, when the production of potentially destructive ROS exceeds the natural antioxidant defences.
So on sperm it has beneficial effects ROS has beneficial effects on sperm as long as there’s enough antioxidant defences in place.
This really reflects the iron scenario where iron is needed and healthy as long as the body can manage and handle it with vitamin C, vitamin E and glutathione. I don’t believe everything is so black and white and this could be a reason why some people here have problems and never heal. Their thinking is too black and white. Excess consumption of antioxidants has been shown to cause negative health effects. Likely from inhibiting the necessary oxidation processes. Many people complain about fatigue from excess vitamin E supplementation. All of this is very individual as some people are in a state of excess oxidation and they feel better uping their antioxidant and then you have people with excess intake of antioxidants who limit their use of oxidants and end up with problems.

Like brain dopamine production seems to be very oxidant dependent. With proper balance of oxidants and antioxidant seems to be optimal.
Might be why both iron and omega 3 deficiency alteres brain dopamine and prolactin (lowers dopamine and increases prolactin)
