title: A comparative study of omega-3-fatty acids obtained from marine fish and bezafibrate alone and in combination as hypolipidemic agents.
abstract: The fish oil and its constituents have been studied in detail with special reference to ailments. The discovery of omega-3 fatty acids led to a detailed investigation about its effect and role as anti-cholesterolemic agents. The effect of fish oil alone and in combination with acid derivatives was found to be a potent cholesterol and triglycerides lowering agent. Comparative studies of fish oils and bezafibrate led to the formulation of new therapeutic combination having lesser side effects and toxicity.
