A dose-response randomized controlled trial Flock MR, Skulas-Ray AC, et al J Am Heart Assoc, 2013 Nov 19; 2(6):e000513.

Baek D, Park Y. Abstract Associations between n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), inflammation, oxidative stress and the risk of depression have been suggested. We hypothesize that erythrocyte n-3 PUFAs are inversely associated with biomarkers for inflammation and oxidative stress in Koreans with and without depression. Study participants comprised 80 cases diagnosed with depression based on […]
