Hypothesis-generating in rodent pressure-overload models; leaves open translation to human ventricular remodeling.
Does dietary supplementation with omega-3 PUFA attenuate ventricular remodeling and dysfunction in male Wistar rats with pressure overload?
Absolute Event Rate: 18% vs 31%
Dietary supplementation with omega-3 PUFA attenuates pressure overload-induced left ventricular dysfunction and remodeling in a rat model, potentially mediated by elevated plasma adiponectin.
Duda et al. (2007) studied Arterial pressure overload. Dietary supplementation with omega-3 PUFA from fish oil vs. Standard chow was evaluated on Increase in LV mass. Dietary supplementation with omega-3 PUFA attenuated pressure overload-induced LV mass increase (18% vs 31% with standard chow) and prevented increases in LV volumes in male Wistar rats.
