Abstract
Beta-Very low density lipoproteins (beta-VLDLs) are atherogenic, cholesterol-rich chylomicron and VLDL remnants that accumulate in the plasma of type III dysbetalipoproteinemic subjects. To evaluate the effect of fish oil supplementation on plasma beta-VLDL concentrations, we compared the lipid and lipoprotein responses in nine type III and nine type IV hyperlipidemic subjects. Each individual received 6 g/day omega-3 fatty acids for 12 weeks. Before treatment, the mean total cholesterol, total triglyceride, VLDL triglyceride, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels were not different between groups. Conversely, VLDL cholesterol, intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) cholesterol, and IDL triglycerides were higher in type III than in type IV subjects. Fish oil supplementation was associated with significantly lower levels of cholesterol (-50%), triglycerides (-50%), and apolipoprotein B (-50%) in the d less than 1.006 g/ml ultracentrifugation plasma...Keywords
