How microalgae, fish, and krill store omega-3s differently and why it matters

This study mapped how EPA and DHA are distributed across lipid classes in microalgae, fish, krill, and commercial omega-3 supplements using lipid-class–resolved analysis. It shows that lipid structure, not just total omega-3 content, differs markedly across sources and may influence their nutritional relevance.

Cardiac MRI shows promise as a diagnostic tool for coronary heart disease

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an appropriate non-invasive procedure for functional diagnostics in patients who, as a result of basic diagnostics, are suspected of having chronic coronary heart disease (CHD) or progression of known CHD: The diagnostic accuracy of cardiac MRI is at least comparable to that of SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) in the detection of CHD, but does not expose patients to radiation.
