The present study analyzes several markers of energy metabolism in the heart muscle of dyslipemic insulin-resistant rats fed a sucrose-rich diet (SRD, 62.5% wt/wt) for 8 months. It also explores…
Background— The long-chain n-3 fatty acids in fish have been demonstrated to have antiarrhythmic properties in experimental models and to prevent sudden cardiac death in a randomized trial of post–myocardial…
In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, the effects of treatment with fish oil (eicosapentaenoic acid, 1.08 g/day) and mustard oil (alpha-linolenic acid, 2.9 g/day) were compared for 1 year in the…
