title: [The effect of linseed oil on the fatty acid composition of blood plasma low- and very low-density lipoproteins and cholesterol in diabetics].
abstract: Twenty patients with compensated diabetes mellitus of 10-15-year duration took polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3 (30 g of flax oil a day) in addition to their routine food. This led to an insignificant lowering in total cholesterol and elevation of cholesterol in high density lipoproteins. A significant rise in the level of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in lipoproteins occurred in 6 patients only. Minor effect of the diet oil may be due to low delta-6-desaturic activity in the majority of the examinees. The findings point to necessity to use other sources of omega-3 acids in diet therapy of diabetics, fish oil, in particular.
