Title: The Effects of Purified n-3 Fatty Acids on Serum Fibrosis Markers and Cardiovascular Risk Markers in a Randomized Placebo Controlled Trial in Patients With Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Brief Summary: Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) imposes a high and increasing burden on the NHS, yet there is presently no licensed treatment or validated approach to management. NAFLD predisposes to increased risk of type 2 diabetes, increased risk of cardiovascular disease and may progress to chronic irreversible liver disease.

In NAFLD patients, the investigators will test the hypothesis that treatment with long chain n-3 fatty acid supplementation for 18 months favourably influences bio-markers for NAFLD and risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.


Options:
A: Inclusion criteria:

1. Steatohepatitis diagnosed on normal clinical grounds including in most cases liver biopsy and assessed by Kleiner scoring system to assess severity, with no known aetiological factors for underlying liver disease (e.g. exclusion of hepatitis A, B \& C, primary biliary cirrhosis, autoimmune hepatitis, haemochromatosis).
2. Steatosis diagnosed by ultrasound, CT or magnetic resonance imaging who also have either diabetes and/or features of the metabolic syndrome, without evidence of known aetiological factors for underlying liver disease (e.g. exclusion of hepatitis A, B \& C, primary biliary cirrhosis, autoimmune hepatitis, haemochromatosis).

Liver biopsy or liver scan will be within 3 years of recruitment to the study. Age: men \& women \>18 years. Alcohol consumption \<35 units / week for women \<50 units / week for men).

Exclusion criteria:

* Decompensated acute or chronic liver disease, or harmful drinking (\> 35 u/week in women \> 50 u /week in men).
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* ICD is capable of recording ECG strips for at least 10 of its (attempted) therapeutic interventions
* 18 years or older
* written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* Primary prophylactic indication
* ICD implantation as a 'bridge' to heart transplantation
* Refractory supraventricular arrhythmias with rapid ventricular rates despite antiarrhythmic therapy
* a projected lifespan of less than 1 year
* participation in another trial (during or within 30 days before SOFA)
* use of any supplemental n-3 fatty acid during the last 3 months
* intake of more than 8g of n-3 fatty acids from fish per month as judged by a fish frequency questionnaire
* pregnant women and women of childbearing potential who do not use adequate contraception
* patients known to have a history of recent drug or alcohol abuse
C: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male and female help seeking individuals aged between 16-35 years.
2. Meets at least one of the criteria for ARMS (see CAARMS Operationalized Intake Criteria section below).
3. Assessed as competent to provide informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History ofpreviously experiencing a psychotic illness (treated or untreated).
2. IQ \< 70 and/or history of learning disability.
3. Any pre-existing inflammatory conditions e.g. rheumatoid arthritis.
4. Organic brain disease e.g. epilepsy.
5. treatment with an antipsychotic or mood-stabilising agent.
6. Prior history of intolerance or serious side effects (hepatotoxicity, photosensitivity, blood dyscrasias) to any of the tetracyclines or Omega-3 fatty acids.
7. Concomitant penicillin therapy or concomitant anticoagulant therapy.
8. Active substance abuse (except nicotine or caffeine) or dependence within the last three months, according to DSM-V criteria.
9. Treatment with warfarin or lamotrigine.
10. Current or previous treatment with tetracycline antibiotics or Omega-3 fatty acids in the preceding three months before study entry.
11. Current treatment with any anti-inflammatory medication.
12. Treatment with electroconvulsive therapy within the 12 weeks preceding the study.
13. Active expression of suicidal ideation (CAARMS item 7.3 severity score 6) or current aggression/dangerous behaviour (CAARMS item 5.4 severity score 6). 14. Relevant current or past hematologic, hepatic, renal, neurological or other medical disorder that in the opinion of the principal investigator may interfere with the study.

15. Pregnant or breastfeeding females.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Persistent atrial fibrillation

Exclusion Criteria:

* Contraindications or known hypersensitivity to n-3 PUFA
* Current treatment with n-3 PUFA for any reason
* Heart failure NYHA class IV
* Coronary artery bypass surgery or valve replacement within the past 3 months
* Planned cardiac procedures
* Known sick-sinus syndrome
* Diagnosis of Wolff-Parkinson-White
* Clinical significant valvular etiologies
* Presence of arrhythmia associated with an acute reversible condition
* Advanced chronic lung disease
* Contraindications for anticoagulation therapy
* Pregnancy or lactation
* Any non cardiac illness associated with a life expectancy of \< 2 years
* Treatment with any investigational agent within 3 month before randomization
* Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would jeopardize the evaluation of efficacy or safety or be associated with poor adherence to the protocol
