Estimation and predictors of the Omega-3 Index in the UK Biobank. [PDF]
Br J Nutr, 2023 Abstract Information on the Omega-3 Index (O3I) in the United Kingdom (UK) is scarce. The UK-Biobank (UKBB) contains data on total plasma n 3-PUFA% and DHA% measured by NMR. The aim of our study was to create an equation to estimate the O3I (eO3I) from these data.

Comparison of Fish, Krill and Flaxseed as Omega-3 Sources to Increase the Omega-3 Index in Dogs. [PDF]
Vet Sci, 2023 (1) Background: it is only the longer chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3, DHA) and not the shorter chain α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3) that have been linked to health benefits.

The influence of dietary and supplemental omega-3 fatty acids on the omega-3 index: A scoping review. [PDF]
Front Nutr, 2023 IntroductionThe majority of the population do not consume adequate omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA), leading to global deficiencies, as evidenced by poor omega-3 status. An indicator of overall n-3 FA status, omega3-index (O3i) ≥8% has been associated with reduced risk of chronic disease, most notably cardiovascular disease.

Omega-3 Index and Anti-Arrhythmic Potential of Omega-3 PUFAs [PDF]
Nutrients, 2017 Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), namely eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are permanent subjects of interest in relation to the protection of cardiovascular health and the prevention of the incidence of both ventricular and atrial arrhythmias.

Omega-3 Index and Cardiovascular Health [PDF]
Nutrients, 2014 Recent large trials with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the cardiovascular field did not demonstrate a beneficial effect in terms of reductions of clinical endpoints like total mortality, sudden cardiac arrest or other major adverse cardiac events.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Pregnancy-The Case for a Target Omega-3 Index. [PDF]
Nutrients, 2020 Scientific societies recommend increasing intake of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by 200 mg/day during pregnancy. However, individually, clinical events correlate quite strongly with levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and DHA in blood, but these levels poorly correlate with amounts ingested.

Omega-3 Index and Sudden Cardiac Death [PDF]
Nutrients, 2010 Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an unresolved health issue, and responsible for 15% of all deaths in Western countries. Epidemiologic evidence, as well as evidence from clinical trials, indicates that increasing intake and high levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) protect from SCD and other major adverse cardiac events ...

Recent studies confirm the utility of the omega-3 index. [PDF]
Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab CarePurpose of review The Omega-3 Index (O3I) was proposed 20 years ago as not only a marker of body omega-3 fatty acid status, but more importantly, as a risk factor for fatal coronary heart disease. The purpose of this review is to document the continued and growing use of this metric in nutrition research.

The Effects of Omega-3 Supplementation on the Omega-3 Index and Quality of Life and Pain Scores in Dogs. [PDF]
Animals (Basel)This study in dogs had two objectives: first, to determine whether a daily supplement of marine omega-3 (EPA and DHA) would (1) increase red blood cell EPA + DHA levels (i.e., the Omega-3 Index derived from dried blood spot analysis) and (2) impact health-related measures.

Higher omega-3 index after dietary inclusion of omega-3 phospholipids versus omega-3 triglycerides in Alaskan Huskies. [PDF]
Vet World, 2020 Background and Aim: Numerous studies have found benefits of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), namely, for eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in dogs. The objective of the present study was to assess the efficacy of dietary inclusion of equal amounts of omega-3 FAs in phospholipid (PL) from krill meal to triglyceride ...
