Indication: Atherosclerotic plaques

Source: Lancet, 2003;361(9356):475.

Research: A team of researchers followed 188 stroke patients to determine the effect of omega 3 fatty acids on atherosclerotic plaques. The patients were treated from seven to 189 days (median 42 days), receiving a daily dose of 1.4 grams of omega 3 fatty acids.

Results: The researchers claimed that omega 3 fatty acids helped make scars harmless, while stabilizing the clinical picture in stroke patients who are at high risk of the atherosclerotic plaques rupturing or forming clots. The study also demonstrated that omega 3 fatty acids could be integrated into the sclerotic areas of the carotid artery. Omega 3 fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory effect, which explains the results of this study. Overall researchers concluded that the study demonstrated that omega 3 fatty acids, in addition to being preventative, could also have a therapeutic effect.
