Omega-3 fatty acids (O3FA) comprise the plant-derived α-linolenic acid (ALA) and EPA and DHA, which are predominantly derived from seafood/fish (Fig. 1). These fatty acids are ‘essential’ in that they depend almost entirely on intake, with very little production from cellular metabolism within the body. EPA and DHA levels have been shown to be associated with reductions in the risk of cardiovascular events. Putative mechanisms for event reduction include triglyceride (TG) lowering, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory and membrane stabilisation antiarrhythmic properties.
