Flaxseed oil intake reduces serum small dense low-density lipoprotein concentrations in Japanese men: a randomized double blind crossover study

摘要

BackgroundThe effects of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) on cardiovascular risk factors considerably vary between published reports. Therefore, we investigated the effects of 12-week supplementation with flaxseed oil (FO), which is a rich source of ALA, on cardiovascular risk factors such as serum small dense low-density lipoprotein (sd-LDL) concentrations.
