Fish, marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and coronary heart disease: a minireview with focus on clinical trial data

Erik Berg Schmidt et al. Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids. 2006 Sep.

Abstract

In this paper, we will briefly deal with the background for the possible effects of long-chain marine n-3 (also called omega-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in coronary heart disease (CHD) and then focus on findings from clinical trials in humans. We will not deal with effects of alpha-linolenic acid, the non-marine type of n-3 PUFA derived from plant oils.
