Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for determining the content of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the retina of a subject comprising the determination of the content of at least one cholesteryl ester in a blood sample from said subject, the content of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the retina being correlated to the content of said at least one cholesteryl ester, said at least one cholesteryl ester being cholesteryl 5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoate.
