A recent study shows an association between oxidative stress biomarkers and depression. It was also demonstrated that in those with depression they had lower levels of omega 3 fatty acids. Oxidative stress is a state where there is an imbalance between reactive oxygen species from cellular metabolism and the ability to detoxify the intermediates or repair the damage. From the results of this study, it was concluded that oxidative stress levels may be used to determine who would benefit from omega 3 for depression.
