[The effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on the lipid spectrum indices in the 2nd-3rd pregnancy trimesters]

Abstract

The effect of picasol (a preparation of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids) on the serum lipid spectrum was studied upon administration of the drug to 60 pregnant women with a high-risk of developing placental insufficiency during II-III trimesters of pregnancy in accordance with a program of randomized placebo controlled double blind trial. In the absence of differences in the level of lipid spectrum parameters prior to picasol administration we found in the III trimester a reliably low content of triglycerides and cholesterol of extremely low density lipoproteids in patients who received picasol.
