Popis: The effects ofa moderate supplementation in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were investigated in 36 young healthy adult males. Factors investigated were lipo- protein (including HDL subfractions and apolipoproteins) and hemostasis indexes, assessed by platelet aggregation and plas- minogen-activator-inhibitor (PA!) activity. Fat-controlled diets were prescribed, one with and one without a fish-oil supplement (control diet), successively during 3 wk in random order. Total calorie, fat, and cholesterol intakes were similar in the two diets. Triglycerides in serum and very-low-density lipoproteins were lower and high-density-lipoprotein 2 cholesterol was higher with the n-3 PUFA-supplemented diet. These effects as well as a significant decrease in platelet aggregation can be considered beneficial in terms of cardiovascular risk. However, significant increases in low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and PAl activity occurred and were correlated. This latter effect could be detri- mental. Am J Clin Nutr 1991;54:l 18-22.
