Bioavailability of EPA and DHA in humans - A comprehensive review.

Prog Lipid Res

December 2024

Institute of Food Science and Human Nutrition, Foundation Leibniz University Hannover, Am Kleinen Felde 30, 30167 Hannover, Germany; The Fatty Acid Research Institute, 5009 W. 12th St. Ste 5, Sioux Falls, SD 57106, United States. Electronic address:

The bioavailability of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids is a critical yet often overlooked factor influencing their efficacy. This review evaluates the bioavailability of EPA/DHA from acute (single-dose) and chronic human studies, focusing on (a) chemical forms such as triacylglycerols (TAG, natural and re-esterified, rTAG), free fatty acids (FFA), and phospholipids (PL) from sources like fish, krill, and microalgae, and (b) delivery methods like microencapsulation and emulsification. Bioavailability for isolated chemically forms followed the order: FFA > PL > rTAG > unmodified TAG > ethyl esters (EE).

Unmasking a Rare Genetic Mutation: The Importance of Genetic Testing in Refractory Hypertriglyceridemia.

AACE Clin Case Rep

August 2024

Department of Endocrinology, Endocrine Associates of West Village, New York City, New York.

Background/objective: Genetic causes of hypertriglyceridemia like familial chylomicronemia syndrome can be overlooked in everyday practice. We report a patient with a rare genetic mutation, highlighting the importance of genetic testing for timely diagnosis and prevention of complications.

Case Report: A 45-year-old Hispanic female presented with serum triglyceride levels of 749 mg/dL, refractory to rosuvastatin 10 mg daily and omega-3 ethyl esters 2 g daily.

Introduction: While observational research suggests a protective role for nutrition in brain aging, intervention studies remain inconclusive. This failing translation from observational to interventional research may result from overlooking nutrient interactions.

Methods: We developed a nutrient status index capturing the number of suboptimal statuses of omega-3 fatty acids, homocysteine, and vitamin D (range 0 to 3).

The use of an fecal fermentation model to uncover the beneficial role of omega-3 and punicic acid in gut microbiota alterations induced by a Western diet.

Food Funct

Universidade Católica Portuguesa, CBQF - Centro de Biotecnologia e Química Fina -Laboratório Associado, Escola Superior de Biotecnologia, Rua de Diogo Botelho, 1327, 4169-005 Porto, Portugal.

The influence of gut microbiota in the onset and development of several metabolic diseases has gained attention over the last few years. Diet plays an essential role in gut microbiota modulation. Western diet (WD), characterized by high-sugar and high-fat consumption, alters gut microbiome composition, diversity index, microbial relative levels, and functional pathways.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of psychiatric disorders (PD) yield numerous loci with significant signals, but often do not implicate specific genes. Because GWAS risk loci are enriched in expression/protein/methylation quantitative loci (e/p/mQTL, hereafter xQTL), transcriptome/proteome/methylome-wide association studies (T/P/MWAS, hereafter XWAS) that integrate xQTL and GWAS information, can link GWAS signals to effects on specific genes. To further increase detection power, gene signals are aggregated within relevant gene sets (GS) by performing gene set enrichment (GSE) analyses.
