In a study published in the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, fish oil for the treatment of cardiovascular disease caused by high cholesterol was investigated.
The study noted: “Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found abundantly in fish oil, are increasingly being used in the management of cardiovascular disease.
“It is clear that fish oil, in clinically-used doses, reduces high triglycerides.
“Omega-3 FA most likely reduce serum triglyceride levels by modulating very-low-density lipoprotein and chylomicron metabolism.”
