Measure
Omega 3 Fatty Acids
Supplementation of 3.7 g of docosahexanoic and eicosapentanoic acids per day during 12 weeks Omega 3 fatty acids: Omega 3 fatty acids will be provided in a dose of 3.7 g/day, that should be enough to rise red blood cell levels of eicosapentanoic and docosahexanoic acids
Corn Oil
Supplementation of 3.7 g of corn oil per day during 12 weeks Corn oil: Corn oil will be the placebo comparator for omega 3 fatty acids supplement
