Abstract / Description
We thank Das for his interest in our article (1) and for proposing a possible mechanism for the efficacy of omega-3 (n–3) fatty acid in ameliorating vaso-occlusive crisis and hemolytic events in homozygous sickle cell patients.
The purpose of our randomized placebo-controlled trial was to investigate efficacy and safety and not to elucidate mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids. Nevertheless, the points raised by Das are worth discussing because of their relevance for future mechanistic studies.
