Mean (± SD) baseline-adjusted concentrations over time (24-h pharmacokinetic assessment on day 28 for Treatment I and Treatment II) for the different treatments administered with a low-fat liquid meal. (a) Plasma total EPA + total DHA, (b) total EPA and (c) total DHA for the OM3-CA 2 g/day (n = 6); OM3-CA 4 g/day (n = 6) and OM3-EE 4 g/day (n = 12) treatments. Blood samples were taken 1.5, 0.75 and 0.25 h before the first dose of study drug on day 0 (baseline). These values were then averaged and subtracted from each individual unadjusted concentration from 0 to 24 h to obtain baseline-adjusted values. DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; OM3-CA, omega-3 carboxylic acids; OM3-EE, omega-3 ethyl esters; SD, standard deviation
