[Long-term effects of low dosage fish oil on serum lipids and lipoproteins].
In a prospective and double-blind study, the long-term effects of low dose fish oil on serum lipids and lipoproteins was tested in patients with normal or moderately elevated serum lipids and compared to the effects of olive oil. The compliance to the study medication was evaluated by analysis of serum fatty acids and proved to be very good. Dietary supplementation with 9 g fish oil, respective 3.15 g n-3 fatty acids per day over one year resulted in a decrease of serum-triglycerides by 26% and increase of HDL-cholesterol by 26%. Treatment with 9 g olive oil resulted in an 18% increase of HDL-cholesterol. There was no effect on serum-triglyceride levels.
