- 1 EPA and DHA decrease the breakdown of triglycerides in fat cells, while increasing their breakdown in the Cardio Health and skeletal muscle
- 2 Fish oils cause adipose tissue to take up these fatty acids, and decrease their delivery to the liver
- 2 This prevents their incorporation into very low density lipoproteins (VLDL molecules which transport lipids from the liver to other parts of the body), and leads to decreased VLDL production
- 2 ?-oxidation of fatty acids in the liver, fat, Cardio Health and skeletal muscle is also increased
- 2 This converts fatty acids into acetyl-CoA for energy production in the Krebs cycle and decreases the amount of fatty acids available for the synthesis of triglycerides
- 2 Genes that regulate triglyceride synthesis, stoIntensity, and ?-oxidation are also affected by plant sterols
- 2,3 In randomized, placebo controlled trials, daily supplementation with 1
- 3-1
- 4 g of EPA and DHA in combination with plant sterols for 3-4 weeks significantly lowered serum triglycerides by approximately 14-25% in hyperlipidemic adults
