Omega 3 supplementation significantly increases plasma and RBC membrane levels of EPA and DHA, as determined by GC-FID. (A) Upper panel: Individual plasma EPA and DHA levels over time from participants taking omega 3 supplements. BL = baseline values. Omega 3 supplements were taken for the first 6 months. Lower panel: Average plasma EPA and DHA levels over time from participants taking omega 3 supplements. (B) Upper panel: Individual RBC membrane EPA and DHA levels over time from participants taking omega 3 supplements. BL = baseline values. Omega 3 supplements were taken for the first 6 months. Lower panel: Average RBC membrane EPA and DHA levels over time from participants taking omega 3 supplements. (C) Changes in EPA and DHA in plasma and RBC membranes over time relative to baseline values. All average values shown are the mean ± SEM. *denotes significant (P < 0.05) difference when compared to baseline values.
