Testing how omega-3s affect heart health and blood clotting
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether two types of omega-3s (EPA and DHA) help improve HDL (good cholesterol) and reduce blood clot risk in people with high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Fasting triglycerides between 150 and 500 mg/dL
- HDL (good) cholesterol 40 or lower (men) or 50 or lower (women)
- LDL (bad) cholesterol above 40 and at most 130 mg/dL
- Agree to eat no more than 3 servings of fatty fish per week

This study looks at how differences in insulin resistance may change how the liver makes triglycerides (a type of blood fat). It may help researchers understand why some people have higher triglycerides and how to target them better.
This study tests if eating foods rich in omega-3 fats (like fish and nuts) can lower your triglycerides and improve cholesterol levels. It may help if you have moderately high triglycerides but no other serious health conditions.
This trial compares two types of omega-3 supplements (one with phospholipids, one conventional) to see which works better for lowering blood fats and reducing inflammation. If you have high triglycerides and are already taking a statin, this study may help improve your heart health.
This study tests a supplement containing omega-3 fats to see how it affects levels of DHA and EPA in your blood. If you're a healthy adult, you might join to help learn if this supplement can boost these important fats.
This study tests whether taking omega-3 supplements can improve health and reduce diet-related differences between African American and European American adults. You would take daily capsules and visit the clinic regularly for about 6 months.
This study looks at how omega-3 fatty acids (healthy fats found in fish oil) are carried in your blood. You will take a fish oil supplement and have blood tests to see how your body processes these fats.
