There is evidence that CoQ-10 in combination with fish oil (omega 3 fatty acid) or flax seed oil will reduce damage to blood vessels and may delay degeneration of the macula.

The dry powder Omega Fatty Acids Dry N-3 contains 25% fish oil. This fish oil consists of about 30% EPA+DHA. 

Retail product No. 1 of Table 5 is likely to be simply salmon waste oil, the fish name conferring an elite status. Our research (Ackman, unpublished) suggests that many salmon oil encapsulated oils are unrelated to any salmon oil in fatty acid composition. In 1989, our analysis showed many products of this type to be exaggerated as to omega-3 fatty acid content (85), and a more recent European survey in 1998 gave comparable results and reported on quality (86). 

Omega-3 oils are derived from fish with red flesh such as salmon or mackerel. They are also found in moderate abundance in some plant oils such as flaxseed oil. The two most effective components of omega-3 oils are fatty acids...

A USDA report indicates that between 1967 and 1988, butter consumption remained stable at 2 kg per capita, margarine dropped from 5.1 to 4.7 kg, and measured total fat intake per day dropped from 84.6 to 73.3 g (14). This study also projects that the reduced consumption of tropical oils is only temporary and will return to former use levels, possibly even higher. One reason for this projected rise in tropical oil consumption is the knowledge of the beneficial effects of medium-chain length acids high in lauric oils. There is a keen interest in omega-3 fatty acids, as well as linoleic acid, contained in fish oils. 

Omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosa-hexaenoic acid), the predominant fatty acids in the oil of cold-water fish, lower triglycerides by as much as 35% when taken in large amounts. Fish oil supplements may be useful for patients with high triglycerides despite diet, alcohol restriction, and fibrate therapy. This effect may be modulated thru PPAR-a and a reduction in apolipoprotein B-100 secretion. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce platelet aggregation and have... 

Fish Oils (Marine-Derived Omega-3 Fatty Acids)... 

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids that are most abundant in fatty fish such as sardines, salmon, and mackerel. A diet high in EPA plus DHA or supplementation with these fish oils reduces the risk of cardiovascular mortality, reinfarction, and stroke in patients who have experienced an MI. 

Diets high in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (from fish oil), most commonly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), reduce cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and VLDL and may elevate HDL cholesterol. 

This disorder is characterised by inappropriate levels of activity, a high frequency of periods of frustration and distraction and hence inability to sustain attention and to concentrate on one activity for a prolonged period of time. A surprising finding is that amphetamine administration, which normally increases or facilitates activity, rapidly and markedly improves behaviour. Patients become calm and their alertness is enhanced. A drug that has been used is methylphenidate (Ritalin). One interesting and recent development is the improvement in the condition by supplementation of the diet with polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly the omega-3 acids in fish oils (See Chapter 11).
