TL;DR: DHA is the principal omega3 fatty acid in fish and fish oils that is responsible for their BP- and HR-lowering effects in humans, and these results have important implications for human nutrition and the food industry.

TL;DR: Investigating whether dietary fish enhances the effects of weight loss on serum lipids, glucose, and insulin in overweight, treated hypertensive patients found that incorporating a daily fish meal into a weight-loss regimen was more effective than either measure alone at improving glucose-insulin metabolism and dyslipidemia.

TL;DR: The effects were large, suggesting that cardiovascular risk and antihypertensive drug requirements are likely to be reduced substantially by combining dietary fish meals rich in omega3 fatty acids with weight-loss regimens in overweight medication-treated hypertensives.
