Anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and plant sterols in hyperlipidemic individuals
MA Micallef, ML Garg - Atherosclerosis, 2009 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Risk factors of cardiovascular disease such as lipid aberrations,
hypertension, abdominal adiposity and elevations in systemic inflammation, are prominent
aetiologies in hyperlipidemia. Supplementation with n-3 PUFA is associated with a reduction
in cardiovascular events through its hypotriglyceridemic, anti-aggregatory and anti-
inflammatory properties. Plant sterols have potent hypocholesterolemic properties, although
their effect on the inflammatory cascade is uncertain. This study investigated the effect of …
