This trial tests whether a prescription fish oil pill (icosapent ethyl) can further lower the risk of heart problems in people who already have heart disease and are taking a statin. It may help if your cholesterol and inflammation levels are in a certain range.
This trial tests a substance found in olive oil to see if it can protect against early signs of heart disease. You eat a special olive oil and have blood tests to see how your body responds.
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.
This study looks at how your genes and sex affect the way your body uses EPA, a key fat found in fish oil. If you are healthy and not currently eating fish or taking fish oil supplements, you may help researchers learn why people respond differently to omega-3s.
This study tests whether a special diet can reduce inflammation and improve heart health in people over 55 who are at increased risk for heart disease but have not yet had a heart attack or stroke.
This study is looking at whether fish oil supplements can improve the function of 'good' cholesterol (HDL) in people who are on maintenance hemodialysis. If you are a stable dialysis patient, you may be able to join to help researchers understand how fish oil affects heart and blood vessel health.
