The Fish Oil and Triglycerides Study
We are now enrolling participants for this 12-week study. The cadidates for this study are people who have high triglycerides but are not currently taking lipid-lowering medications. If you are interested in this study, click here to take a brief screening survey.
Enrolled participants will receive valuable health information and the results of their lipid levels at no cost. Anyone who will consent to be screened for the study will receive free cholesterol and blood pressure results. 
A large and growing body of literature has suggested that fish oil supplements may be protective against cardiovascular disease. One of the ways fish oil supplements may exert their cardio-protective effect is through lowering triglycerides (blood fats) in individuals who have elevated levels in their blood.
Three types of fish oil supplements, differing in the way they are manufactured, are commercially available. However, no research study has evaluated whether these three types of supplements confer similar benefits. The aim of the Fish Oil and Triglycerides Study is to investigate the triglyceride-lowering effect of these three types of supplements in individuals with elevated levels in their blood (>150 mg/dL).
