Question
I read a book that has a reference:

2. Connor WE. The importance of n-3 fatty acids in health and disease. Am J Clin Nutr 2000;71(1 Suppl):171S-5S.  

After the title, what does the rest of the data/information mean? How can I find this source?
Also, if I want to reference an article in my report what information do I have to include in my reference? Here is the link of the reference I will use:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19202383?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEn...
