Why the study?
Do higher adipose tissue levels of omega-3 fatty acids reduce the risk of myocardial infarction in men?
Do higher adipose tissue levels of omega-3 fatty acids reduce the risk of myocardial infarction in men?
In this large case-control study, adipose tissue levels of omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) did not show a significant protective effect against myocardial infarction after adjusting for classical risk factors.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No association after adjustment; leaves open whether omega-3 intake affects MI risk in men.
Güallar et al. (1999) studied this question.
