Predicting the effects of supplemental EPA and DHA on the omega-3 index [PDF]
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2019 Supplemental long-chain omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids (EPA and DHA) raise erythrocyte EPA + DHA [omega-3 index (O3I)] concentrations, but the magnitude or variability of this effect is unclear.The purpose of this study was to model the effects of supplemental EPA + DHA on the O3I.Deidentified data from 1422 individuals from 14 published n-3 intervention ...

Enhanced omega-3 index after long- versus short-chain omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in dogs. [PDF]
Vet Med Sci, 2021 AbstractBackgroundThe Omega‐3 Index is a test that measures the amount of the long‐chain omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n‐3 PUFAs), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in red blood cell membranes, which is expressed as a percentage of all fatty acids.

People with schizophrenia and depression have a low omega-3 index
Prostaglandins Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, 2016 Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is higher in people with mental illness and is associated with a 30 year higher mortality rate in this population. Erythrocyte docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) plus eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (omega-3 index)≤4% is a marker for increased mortality risk from CVD while >8% is protective. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are also

Omega-3 index in 2018/19 [PDF]
Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 2020 The omega-3 index, the percentage of EPA plus DHA in erythrocytes (measured by standardised analysis), represents a human body's status in EPA and DHA. An omega-3 index is measured in many laboratories around the world; however, even small differences in analytical methods entail large differences in results.

The omega-3 index is inversely associated with the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in adults’ [PDF]
Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, 2021 Summary The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a biomarker of systemic inflammation and measures innate-adaptive immune system balance. The omega-3-index (O3I) measures the amount of EPA+DHA in blood. Both a low O3I and an elevated NLR are associated with increased risk for chronic disease and mortality, including cardiovascular ...
