Fish Oil Fatty Acids Improve Post-meal Vascular Reactivity
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In the present study, the authors measured vascular functioning of the forearm of 25 male subjects via ultrasound (Doppler imaging) at time zero and after 4 hours after consuming a high-fat meal. Using a single-blinded crossover design, the subjects either consumed a placebo oil (no DHA/EPA present) or fish oil (providing a total amount of DHA/EPA amounting to 5.4 grams-3.24 grams DHA plus 2.16 grams EPA) with the test meal.

Fish oil fatty acids improve postprandial vascular reactivity in healthy men.
Chronic fish oil intervention had been shown to have a positive impact on endothelial function. Although high-fat meals have often been associated with a loss of postprandial vascular reactivity, studies examining the effects of fish oil fatty acids on vascular function in the postprandial phase are limited. The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of the addition of fish oil fatt...
متن کاملThe impact of age on the postprandial vascular response to a fish oil-enriched meal.
Although chronic fish oil intervention had been shown to have a positive impact on vascular reactivity, very little is known about their acute effects during the postprandial phase. Our aim was to examine the impact of a fish oil-enriched test meal on postprandial vascular reactivity in healthy younger ( < 50 years) v. older ( > or = 50 years) men. Vascular reactivity was measured at baseline (...
متن کاملFish oil and neurovascular reactivity to mental stress in humans.
Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil have been suggested to protect against cardiovascular disease, yet underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Despite the well-documented link between mental stress and cardiovascular risk, no study has examined neural cardiovascular reactivity to mental stress after fish oil supplementation. We hypothesized that fish oil would blunt the blood pressure, heart ra...
متن کاملRelease of fatty acids by perfused vascular tissue in normotensive and hypertensive rats.
The release of fatty acids from perfused mesenteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and control Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) was studied. The release of the prostaglandin precursors dihomogammalinolenic acid, arachidonic acid, and eicosapentaenoic acid was reduced in SHR when compared with age-matched WKY. The release of all other fatty acids detected in the effluent was also reduced. The ...

This article is available online at http://www.jlr.org An impact on arterial stiffness and compliance, associated with reduced blood pressure (1–4), is thought to be a significant contributor to the lower CVD risk associated with increased long chain n-3 PUFA (LC n-3 PUFA; EPA plus DHA) intake and status (4–6). In randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted to date, vascular function is typic...
