Article Synopsis
- The study explored the effects of dietary omega-3 very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on skin and bone mineralization in Atlantic salmon, analyzing various parameters such as bone density and gene expression.
- Results revealed that higher dietary levels of omega-3 VLC-PUFAs enhanced the mineral content and bone mineral density of salmon, along with impacting genes associated with bone health.
- Additionally, experiments with human fetal osteoblast cells suggested that omega-3 VLC-PUFAs might positively influence cell growth and the expression of osteogenic-related genes and cytokines.
The effect of fish oil rich in cetoleic acid on the omega-3 index and skin quality.

Objective: The objective of the study was to provide preliminary data on the effect of a long chain monounsaturated oil rich in cetoleic acid on the omega-3 index, a validated measure of EPA and DHA in blood cells, as well as a potential effect of the oil on skin quality.
Design: Two intervention studies were performed, each as double blinded, placebo controlled, randomised nutritional trials. The CetoIndex study (N = 55) measured omega-3 index using a blood spot collection kit (Omegaquant).
Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) have a chain length ≥24 carbons. Fish contain low levels of these fatty acids. A commercial oil called EPAX® Evolve 05 with an up-concentration of VLCFAs of approximately 10 times, has been developed as a dietary supplement by Epax Norway AS.

They represent a minor lipid fraction composing of less than 1% of the total lipid. EPAX® EVOLVE 05 is a concentrate of VLCFAs providing roughly 10 times the amount found in fish.
