The role of omega-3 (OM3) fatty acids in the reduction of elevated triglycerides is well recognized. This has prompted the development of concentrated OM3 drugs for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia, a condition that may increase risk for cardiovascular disease and pancreatitis. Intestinal absorptio...
For some people, omega-3s can also lower “bad” LDL cholesterol. However, evidence is mixed — some studies find increases in LDL (39Trusted Source, 40Trusted Source). Despite these beneficial effects on heart disease risk factors,...
Omega 3s have been tied to numerous heart-health benefits, including a reduction in triglycerides, a reduction in blood pressure, an increase in healthy cholesterol, and a reduction in inflammation—which also helps combat asthma, which is caused by inflammation in the lungs. ...
Residual risk may remain after statin initiation, in part because of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein cholesterol. Several large trials have failed to show benefit with non-statin cholesterol-lowering medications in the reduction of cardiovascular events. Yet, subgroup analyses showed a benefit in those ...
Independent and combined effects of 2 g/d long chain omega-3 fatty acids (omega-3) from fish oil (capsules) and 2 g/d plant sterol (yogurt drink) on LDL-C and non-HDL-C levels in Indian subjects were compared. Following a 2-week run-in period, 200 mildly hypercholesterolemic (total...

significant reductions of total cholesterol (p = 0.037)and blood glucose levels (p = 0.034). Significant positive correlations were found between the general psychopathology subscale of PANSS (primary outcome) and triglyceride level changes. CONCLUSION: N-3 PUFA supplementation in early SCZ may...
In this population a combination of nutraceuticals containing omega-3 (Ritmonutra®) has been able to reduce the number of ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias without modification of the left ventricle function. Specifically, a 46% reduction of premature ventricular contractions (BEV), 54.2% ...
The multivariate model showed that the independent predictors of changes in adiponectin at 1month (P<0.001) were: omega-3 PUFA treatment, baseline platelet count, total cholesterol and those in leptin (P<0.0001) were: omega-3 PUFA treatment and waist circumference. Independent predictors of A/L...
