Funded Activity Summary

Fish oils are consumed widely for their omega-3 fatty acids, which have multiple health benefits. Despite the benefits of fish oil for cardiovascular disease seen in early studies, recent studies have not shown a protective effect. Hence, we are studying the effects of omega-3s on the development of atherosclerosis (fatty plaque build up in arteries) by investigating their role in inflammation in the blood vessel wall and in fatty tissue. This is using cells, animals and human studies
