However, the higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Mexican-origin populations might be related, in part, not to Native American genetic admixture but to Spanish genetic admixture. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Four popula...
OBJECTIVE The effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on the serum lipid profile in a Mexican population was evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three g of salmon oil was the daily intake during four weeks. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoproteins, high density lipoproteins and erythrocyte fatty acid composition were analyzed. RESULTS The hypertriglyceridemic group showed a ...
