Why the study?
Does docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation improve endothelial function in children with familial hypercholesterolemia or familial combined hyperlipidemia?
Does docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation improve endothelial function in children with familial hypercholesterolemia or familial combined hyperlipidemia?
DHA supplementation (1.2 g/d) improves endothelial-dependent flow-mediated dilation in children with hyperlipidemia, though it is associated with increased total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol levels.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
DHA may improve endothelial function in hyperlipidemic children; extends adult data but lipid rises warrant monitoring in trials.
Engler et al. (2004) studied this question.
