For 20 weeks 25 hyperlipoproteinaemic adults in 3 groups were given n-3 fatty acids (in fish oil) at 2.2 or 1.1 g daily or olive oil (control group). There were significant increases in plasma eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid and a marked reduction in fibrinogen values in both fish oil groups. After 20 weeks, mean reductions were 21.6 and 5.8%, respectively. It was suggested that such reductions might potentially move a subject's fibrinogen values to a lower risk stratum for cardiovascular disease.
