A comparative study of omega-3-fatty acids obtained from marine fish and bezafibrate alone and in combination as hypolipidemic agents.
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.
