Journal ArticleDOI
Incorporation of n‐3 fatty acids into plasma lipid fractions, and erythrocyte membranes and platelets during dietary supplementation with fish, fish oil, and docosahexaenoic acid‐rich oil among healthy young men
Helvi M. Vidgren,Jyrki J. Ågren,Ursula Schwab,Tiina H. Rissanen,Osmo Hänninen,Matti Uusitupa +5 more
TL;DR: Results suggest retroconversion of DHA to EPA and that DHA also interferes with linoleic acid metabolism and that N-3 fatty acids increased and those of n-6 fatty acids decreased significantly in plasma lipid fractions and in platelets and erythrocyte membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid separation of serum lipids for fatty acid analysis by a single aminopropyl column.
TL;DR: A rapid and simple method for separation of serum lipid classes for fatty acid analysis with a single aminopropyl solid phase glass column is described, providing an efficient and convenient tool to follow fatty acid patterns in serum lipid fractions.
Journal Article
Fish diet, fish oil and docosahexaenoic acid rich oil lower fasting and postprandial plasma lipid levels
Jyrki J. Ågren,Otto Hänninen,A. Julkunen,L. Fogelholm,H. Vidgren,Ursula Schwab,O. Pynnonen,M. I. J. Uusitupa +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that both fasting and postprandial triglyceride concentrations can be decreased with moderate intakes of long-chain n-3 fatty acids either from a fish diet or fish oil and that also pure DHA has a hypotriglyceridemic effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymorphisms in the ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes associate with cholesterol absorption and insulin sensitivity
Helena Gylling,Maarit Hallikainen,Jussi Pihlajamäki,Jyrki J. Ågren,Markku Laakso,Radhakrishnan A. Rajaratnam,Rainer Rauramaa,Tatu A. Miettinen +7 more
TL;DR: Low cholesterol absorption efficiency was associated with characteristics of the metabolic syndrome and characteristics ofThe insulin resistance syndrome in men were linked with the Q604E polymorphism of the ABCG5 gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemostatic factors and platelet aggregation after a fish-enriched diet or fish oil or docosahexaenoic acid supplementation
TL;DR: Results show that a fish diet and fish oil, but not DHA-oil, inhibit in vitro platelet aggregation and that hemostatic factors are not affected by moderate n-3 fatty acid supplementation.
