Fish oil is derived from the tissues of oily fish and contains [[omega 3 fatty acid]]s [[eicosapentaenoic acid]] (EPA) and [[docosahexaenoic acid]] (DHA). Some animal studies have found that [[fish oil]] increases [[dopamine]], which may be low in CFS patients.<ref name="fishoilrats1998" /><ref name="newbornratbrain2001" /><ref name="striataldopamine2011" /> == Vegetarian and vegan alternatives == The nutrients in fish oil including [[Eicosapentaenoic acid|EPA]] and [[Docosahexaenoic acid|DHA]], are also found in [[Omega 3 fatty acid|Omega 3]] or [[Essential fatty acid|essential fatty acids]] derived from [[flaxseed oil]], [[starflower oil]] or omega-3 derived from [[algae]], these have the additional advantage of avoiding heavy metal contaminations that can accumulate in the fat stores of fish.{{Citation needed}} ==See also== *[[Omega 3 fatty acid]] *[[Essential fatty acid]]s *[[Fatty acid hypothesis]] *[[Basant Puri]] *[[:Category:Fatty acids]] ==References== <references> <ref name="fishoilrats1998">{{Citation| issn = 0022-3166| volume = 128 | issue = 12| pages = 2512β2519| last1 = Chalon | first1 = Sylvie | last2 = Delion-Vancassel | first2 = Sylvie | last3 = Belzung | first3 = Catherine | last4 = Guilloteau | first4 = Denis | last5 = Leguisquet | first5 = Anne-Marie | last6 = Besnard | first6 = Jean-Claude | last7 = Durand | first7 = Georges| title = Dietary Fish Oil Affects Monoaminergic Neurotransmission and Behavior in Rats| journal = The Journal of Nutrition| access-date = 2016-11-09| date = 1998-12-01| url = http://jn.nutrition.org/content/128/12/2512 | pmid = 9868201}}</ref> <ref name="newbornratbrain2001">{{Citation| issn = 0022-3166| volume = 131 | issue = 1| pages = 118β122| last1 = Innis | first1 = Sheila M. | last2 = Owens | first2 = Sylvia de la Presa | title = Dietary Fatty Acid Composition in Pregnancy Alters Neurite Membrane Fatty Acids and Dopamine in Newborn Rat Brain| journal = The Journal of Nutrition| access-date = 2016-11-09| date = 2001-01-01| url = http://jn.nutrition.org/content/131/1/118 | pmid = 11208947}}</ref> <ref name="striataldopamine2011">{{Citation| doi = 10.1016/j.neulet.2011.04.009| issn = 0304-3940| volume = 496 | issue = 3| pages = 168β171| last1 = Shin | first1 = Samuel S. | last2 = Dixon | first2 = C.
