(Health - Reuters, 10/8/02)
When Dr. Martin Petersen from the Royal Veterinary and
Agricultural University in Rolighedsvej, Denmark and
colleagues studied 42 diabetic adults, the researchers found
that fish oil had a moderating effect on some areas of their
lipid profiles. Triacylglycerol (TAG), a fat associated with
cardiac disease, decreased for subjects who took 4 grams of
fish oil daily for 8 weeks In addition, 2 subtypes of HDL
("good" cholesterol) rose. |
