Omega-3-Acid Ethyl Esters/Fish oil(Cas 8016-13-5) Usage

Description Omega-3-acid ethyl esters are compounds containing ethyl esters of omega-3 fatty acids, primarily eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), derived from fish oil. These long-chain omega-3 fatty acids play crucial roles in human health, particularly in cardiovascular function and lipid metabolism.
Brand Names Omega-3-acid ethyl esters are marketed under the brand name LOVAZA®. It is available by prescription and is used specifically for lowering very high triglyceride levels in adult patients.
Medical Uses By lowering very high triglyceride levels, omega-3-acid ethyl esters help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. They are often prescribed in conjunction with dietary modifications to optimize cardiovascular health.
Synthetic Substrate Ethyl esters are produced by reacting crude fish oil, in a free fatty acid form, with ethanol. This process results in the formation of synthetic substrates containing concentrated omega-3 ethyl esters.

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids found in the oil of fish and other seafood that, when consumed, lower TG levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Prescription omega-3-acid (P-OM3) ethyl ester is a fish oil formulation that has undergone the rigorous regulatory steps required to obtain US Food and Drug Administration approval as a prescription drug.

Differentiating prescription omega-3-acid ethyl esters (P-OM3) from dietary-supplement omega-3 fatty acids

A reliable means of treating hyper­triglyceridemia is the use of large doses of the omega‑3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosa­hexaenoic acid (DHA). Modest levels of EPA and DHA may be obtained from food, particularly fatty fish.
