Commentary: New meta-analysis confirms the long established triacylglycerol-lowering effect of omega-3 fatty acids given in supplemental form

Abstract

In this issue of European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Nam et al. [1] present the findings of a new meta-analysis of the impact of omega-3 supplements (eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and/or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) on blood lipids; much of the focus of the paper is on the effect on blood triacylglycerol (TG) concentrations. Quite rightly, the analysis uses data from randomised, double blind, placebo controlled trials.
