Key result
ADP-induced platelet aggregation correlated negatively with omega-3 fatty acids (r = -0.26 to -0.40) and positively with adipose tissue linoleic acid and plasma triglycerides.
Cross-Sectional (n=196)
Yes
Higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in platelets are associated with reduced ADP-induced platelet aggregation in middle-aged men.

Regional IHD differences unrelated to platelet aggregation; leaves open fatty acid modulation of thrombosis risk.
Salo et al. (1985) reported a cross-sectional. Fatty acid composition of platelets, plasma and adipose tissue was evaluated on Platelet aggregation induced with ADP, thrombin or epinephrine. ADP-induced platelet aggregation correlated negatively with omega-3 fatty acids (r = -0.26 to -0.40) and positively with adipose tissue linoleic acid and plasma triglycerides.
