Researchers have developed a more convenient way of measuring omega-3 fatty acid levels in the blood, an important biomarker of disease risk. The faster, simpler test will make it easier for healthcare professionals to obtain critical information about… Continue reading New blood test more convenient for measuring important omega-3 levels
Researchers have developed an injectable form of DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, that is effective in halting the progression of the arterial fatty plaques that can lead to heart attack and stroke. The novel treatment may one day be used to treat heart dis… Continue reading Injectable omega-3 halts progression of dangerous arterial plaques
