Why the study?
Do n-3 fatty acids improve blood rheology parameters in volunteers and patients with hyperlipoproteinaemias?
Do n-3 fatty acids improve blood rheology parameters in volunteers and patients with hyperlipoproteinaemias?
n-3 fatty acids may increase blood fluidity by changing red cell deformability and lowering plasma viscosity, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits for increasing blood flow in ischaemic tissues.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant rheological monitoring in n-3 trials; leaves open whether fluidity gains improve ischaemic outcomes.
E. Ernst (1989) studied this question.
