Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective study of plasma fish oil levels and incidence of myocardial infarction in U.S. male physicians
Eliseo Guallar,Charles H. Hennekens,Charles H. Hennekens,Frank M. Sacks,Walter C. Willett,Walter C. Willett,Meir J. Stampfer,Meir J. Stampfer +7 more
TL;DR: These results indicate no beneficial effect of increased fish oil consumption on the incidence of a first myocardial infarction, and results adjusted for major cardiovascular risk factors showed a very similar lack of association between fish oil levels and the incidence in case and control participants.
Journal ArticleDOI
The apolipoprotein story.
Frank M. Sacks,Frank M. Sacks +1 more
TL;DR: APo B is a strong, independent predictor of initial and recurrent coronary events, even during statin treatment, and recent studies show its predictive superiority over LDL and non-HDL cholesterol.
Journal ArticleDOI
From High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol to Measurements of Function: Prospects for the Development of Tests for High-Density Lipoprotein Functionality in Cardiovascular Disease.
Frank M. Sacks,Majken K. Jensen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that much cholesterol in reverse cholesterol transport enters and exits medium and large size HDL without changing a size category, and its flux may be estimated provisionally from holoparticle clearance of cholesterol ester-rich HDL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food sources of individual plasma phospholipid trans fatty acid isomers: the Cardiovascular Health Study.
Renata Micha,Irena B. King,Rozenn N. Lemaitre,Eric B. Rimm,Frank M. Sacks,Xiaoling Song,David S. Siscovick,Dariush Mozaffarian +7 more
TL;DR: Different TFA isomers and dietary sources should be considered when investigating health effects and interventions to lower TFAs, in contrast to t-18:2 and t-16:1n-9 isomers, which are derived from more-specific types of PHVO-containing foods.
