RCT · n 66 · 2024 · Adults with moderate hypertriglyceridaemia on a low-calorie diet in Iran (22 per group)
30 g/day (vs 1.8 g/day long-chain omega-3 fish oil, or diet alone) · 8 weeks
Plasma triglycerides fell more than with diet alone and as much as with fish oil (−145.2 vs −136.7 mg/dL from baseline); diastolic blood pressure fell 8.4 mmHg, more than in the other groups. Weight loss did not differ (2.8 kg vs 2.0 kg on diet alone).
