Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are two fatty acids found in fish oil. They are the two "Omega-3" fatty acids which studies have shown to have a variety of health benefits (for the heart, cancer, memory, possibly depression, etc.). The benefits of EPA and DHA were first observed by Danish researchers in the early 1970s, in studies on Eskimos who ate a lot of fatty fisg but had low rates of Heart disease and Arthritis. Since then there have been hundreds of other studies, most of which confirmed the benefits or found others.

Omega 3 is a type of fatty acid that is in fish oil. EPA-DHA is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which are in fish oil. The 1000mg part is telling you how much fish oil is in each capsule. See the Related Link.
What are the percentages of EPA nad DHA in the 720mg of fatty acids?
It depends on where the fatty acids are derived from. Even with fish oils, the amounts of EPA and DHA can vary depending on the kind of fish used and the production methods used to make the oil.

Is there a drug called Omacor?
Yes, it is used in the treatment of high cholesterol. Omacor reduces triglycerides by different, independent effects in the liver. The synthesis of triglycerides is inhibited through reduced production of triglycerides in the liver, as EPA and DHA are poor substrates for the enzymes responsible for triglyceride synthesis. EPA and DHA also inhibit esterification of other fatty acids. Omacor increases peroxisomomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids in the liver.
What is the function of fatty acids in lipids?
Omega 3 fatty acids are good for your brain functioning. It is mainly DHA that is beneficial and it is found together with EPA in fish oil. Soy products, flax seeds and flax oil as well as walnuts contain ALA and this omega 3 does not have the benefits of DHA.

Is 1000Mg of omega 3 fish oil bad?
According to Healthy-Oil-Planet.com, the popular 1000 mg soft gel of fish oil may mislead many consumers. Fish oil is an excellent source of the omega 3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, a 1000 mg soft gel doesn't contain 1000 mg of EPA and DHA. The majority of fish oil soft gels provide a 30% concentration of EPA and DHA combined; typcially 180 mg of EPA and 120 of DHA totalling 300 mg of the 1000 mg soft gel. It's important you look at the ingredient label of the fish oil to determine the mg amount of EPA and DHA per soft gel. This will allow you to calculate the total amount of omega 3 fatty acids per soft gel. The majority of studies on fish oil have not found any negative side effects from using a 1000 mg dosage of fish oil. The most common side effect is gastrointestinal, including fishy burps, gas and diarrhea. These minor side effects can be prevented by using a highly-purified, pharmaceutical-grade fish oil supplement that has been tested to contain minimal amounts of contaminants and high concentrations of omega 3 fatty acids.

Can you get essential Omega-3 fatty acids from something other than fish oil?
Yes, you can get all the essential fatty acids from non-fish sources, even vegan sources. However, it isn't necessarily the easiest or most commonly-recommended way to get it. The two Omega-3 fatty acids in question are DHA and EPA. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is another important Omega-3 but it's easy to get from vegetable oils. DHA and EPA are not so easy to get. Your body can make DHA and EPA from alpha-linolenic acid, but not efficiently. This is why many experts recommend fish oil. But the Vegan Society says: "Many factors affect the rate of conversion and one factor seems to be a high food intake of linoleic acid which is typical of vegan diets and may suppress the body's ability to convert alpha-linolenic acid to DHA. Vegans can achieve a better balance of PUFAs in their body tissues by using less sunflower, safflower and corn oils and more oils containing alpha-linoleic acid such as rapeseed (canola) oil, or soya bean and walnut oils. This would encourage their tissues to make more DHA."
