Official title
Variation in the ALOX5 Gene and Response to Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplements
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
We hope to learn more about why certain people have higher levels of the 5-LO protein and whether taking fish oil supplements gives such individuals greater protection than others against cardiovascular disease. The 5-LO protein is important in the development of heart disease because it converts a type of oil from meat into a compound that can cause inflammation in blood vessels. This inflammation is a major cause of heart disease. Researchers think that people with higher levels of a protein called 5-LO in their white blood cells may have a healthier response to using fish oil supplements than do people with lower levels of this protein.
