简要总结
The objective of this study is to determine the acute and chronic [4-week] effects of a high-DHA fish oil supplement on fasting and post-prandial (post-meal) biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk, in adults on Statin therapy.
详细描述
This study involves fasted and post-prandial components.
Fasted Study:
Participants will provide fasting blood samples pre-and post-intervention [4-week administration of supplement or placebo] in Treatment Period I. Participants will again provide fasting blood samples pre-and post-intervention [4-week administration of supplement or placebo, opposite to Treatment Period I] during Treatment Period II.
There will be a 4-week washout period during the two Treatment Periods.
Post-prandial study:
