Stroes ESG, et al. - In this study, researchers compared the intermediate dose of omega-3 carboxylic acids (OM3-CA, 2 g daily) to olive oil 2 g daily for efficacy and safety in reducing serum triglyceride (TG) and lipid concentrations in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG). Findings revealed that in addition to resulting in significant lowering in TG and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) concentrations, an intermediate dose of OM3-CA (2 g daily) may benefit individuals at risk of acute pancreatitis and cardiovascular disease.
