[The effect of dietary fish oil supplementation on the clinical course of asthma in children].
The effect of fish oil on the clinical progress of asthma in children was examined in this study. Twenty-one children with mild asthma and 16 children with severe asthma were given 15 ml of fish oil daily for 12 weeks. A control group of 23 children took sunflower oil. The basic therapy of asthma was continued. Clinical symptoms, ratings of PEF, FEV1, FEF25-75 and blood levels of total cholesterol, triglicerydes and 25-OHD were monitored. After the 8-th week, only slight improvement in the case of mild asthma was observed. The changes in lipids were within the normal range, but there was a significant increase in the 25-OHD level.
