Course Details
- mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) for blood lipid measurements
- µg/mL (micrograms per milliliter) for measuring inflammatory markers
- g/day (grams per day) for Omega-3 fatty acid intake
- nmol/L (nanomoles per liter) for measuring metabolites related to fatty acid metabolism
- Ratio (e.g., Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio) for assessing fatty acid balance
- Gene expression levels (fold change) for assessing gene responses to Omega-3s
- Pain scales (VAS, NRS) for assessing joint pain
- Joint range of motion (degrees)
- Inflammatory markers (e.g., CRP, IL-6, TNF-a) - ng/mL (nanograms per milliliter)
- Functional capacity scores (e.g., WOMAC, LEFS) for assessing physical function
