[Use of food products containing polyunsaturated fatty acids of the omega-3 group in patients with disorders of lipid metabolism]. / Primenenie pishchevykh produktov, soderzhashchikh polinenasyshchen- nye zhirnye kisloty gruppy omega-3 u bol'nykh s narushennym obmenom lipidov.

The clinical efficiency of the ichtyenic oil obtained by processing some commercial fishes was explored. The oil was used as a supplement to foodstuffs: edible inchtyenic oil (EIO) in a daily dose of 30 g (containing 8.0 g omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids); dietary protein caviar (DPC) in a daily dose of 45 g (0.6 g omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids); an emulsified protein-and-fat product (EPFP) in a daily dose of 30 g (1.2 g fatty acids), EIO was given to 44 patients with dyslipidemia (Group 1), DPC to 12 (Group 2), and EPFP to 8 patients (Group 3). Following a month therapy, there was a decrease in total cholesterol (TC) by 12.2%, triglycerides (TG) by 28%, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) by 9.4%, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDLC) by 20.0%, whereas high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) rose by 15.3% in Group 1. Group 2 showed 12.4 and 20.8% reductions in TC and TG, respectively. In Group 3, TC and TG fell by 7.1 and 8.7%, respectively. In the two latter groups, lipoprotein cholesterol remained unaltered. Thus, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing foods may be used to correct lipid metabolism disturbances in patients with atherogenic dyslipidemia.
