Bill Harris and Clemens von Schacky, measures the amount of EPA + DHA as a percentage of total fatty acids in red blood cell membranes.[ref doi='10.1016/j.ypmed.2004.02.030'] The Omega-3 Index has been proposed as a measurable biomarker of sudden cardiac death risk.[ref doi='10.1016/j.ypmed.2004.02.030'] and may provide a means of standardizing methodologies that produce equivalent measures in clinical trials, allowing researchers to interpret clinical trial outcomes more accurately.[ref doi='10.1017/S0029665120006989'] Since its inception in 20... omega-3 heart disease blood test brain mortality biomarkers

[toc position='left'] Introduction Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats that play critical roles in human health, participating in a wide range of biochemical pathways and processes and modulating the expression of genes throughout the lifespan. Omega-3 fatty acids include plant-derived alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and marine-derived eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), among others. A growing body of evidence indicates that omega-3 fatty acids may prevent or ameliorate symptoms associated with chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular disease,[ref doi='10.3... cancer depression mortality omega-3 nutrition brain diet aging immune system mental health development intelligence
