The effect of fish oil on blood pressure in mild hypertensive subjects: a randomized crossover trial.
TL;DR: It is concluded that fish oil is not a practical treatment for mild hypertension and moderate doses of fish oil did not have a substantial effect on blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Apolipoprotein C-III and High-Density Lipoprotein Subspecies Defined by Apolipoprotein C-III in Relation to Diabetes Risk.
