Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Cardiovascular Disease
Registration Number
NCT02117960
Lead Sponsor
Tehran University of Medical Sciences
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is the comparison between the effects of supplementation with omega 3 or placebo for 8 weeks in serum level of BMP-4, YKL40, HSP70, HSP27 in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is the comparison between the effects of supplementation with omega 3 or placebo for 8 weeks in serum level of BMP-4, YKL40, HSP70, HSP27 in patients with cardiovascular disease. In this randomized, double-blind clinical trial, placebo-controlled, single-center, and phase two trials, 42men aged 45-65 years with Coronary Artery Disease are enrolled in the study from Tehran Heart Center. After signing informed consent all individuals complete a general information form , 24-hour food recall for 3 days will be taken from the participants at the beginning and the end of the study,. Selected samples are randomly classified into 2 blocks of groups receiving supplement and placebo. The supplement group, will receive 4 g/day omega 3 fatty acid for 8 weeks and the placebo group will also receive placebo (containing 4 g of edible paraffin) (similar in terms of color, shape and size). Patients are recommended to sustain their diets and medication dose (s) during the study and also advised to maintain a constant level of physical activity. Blood samples will be collected after 8-12 hours fasting and anthropometric variables, biochemical parameters and physical activity before and after the trial will be measured.
