简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine if high dose supplementation with the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, when added to a weight loss program, is well tolerated in the study population and if there is an increase in the favorable change in blood and tissue breast cancer risk factors when compared to weight loss alone.
详细描述
Subjects will all participate in a 6-month weight loss intervention. Subjects will be randomized to receive either blinded placebo or omega-3 fatty acids for 6 months.

研究组 & 干预措施
Weight Loss + Placebo
Participants will be instructed to exercise and follow a diet that is reduced by 500-700 kcal/day below maintenance requirements for 24 weeks or until the individual has reached a BMI of 25kg/m2 (generally 1000-2000 calories/day). Participants will be given one capsule of placebo a day beginning 2 weeks after starting their diet and exercise routine. Placebo capsule will be increased by 1 capsule/day or every other day until participant is taking 5 capsules per day.
干预措施: Diet and Exercise (Other)
Weight Loss + Omega-3 FA
Participants will be instructed to follow a diet that is reduced by 500-700 kcal/day below maintenance requirements for 24 weeks or until the individual has reached a BMI of 25kg/m2 (generally 1000-2000 calories/day). Participants will be given one capsule of Omega-3 FA (fatty acids) a day beginning 2 weeks after starting their diet and exercise routine. Omega-3 FA will be increased by 1 capsule/day or every other day until participant is taking 5 capsules per day.Each Amber 4020 Ethyl Ester (EE) 1000 mg omega-3 capsule contains 420 mg of EPA and 210 mg of DHA both as the ethyl esters (380 mg EPA and 190 mg DHA)
干预措施: Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Dietary Supplement)
Weight Loss + Omega-3 FA
Participants will be instructed to follow a diet that is reduced by 500-700 kcal/day below maintenance requirements for 24 weeks or until the individual has reached a BMI of 25kg/m2 (generally 1000-2000 calories/day). Participants will be given one capsule of Omega-3 FA (fatty acids) a day beginning 2 weeks after starting their diet and exercise routine. Omega-3 FA will be increased by 1 capsule/day or every other day until participant is taking 5 capsules per day.Each Amber 4020 Ethyl Ester (EE) 1000 mg omega-3 capsule contains 420 mg of EPA and 210 mg of DHA both as the ethyl esters (380 mg EPA and 190 mg DHA)

Participants will be given one capsule of placebo a day beginning 2 weeks after starting their diet and exercise routine. Placebo capsule will be increased by 1 capsule/day or every other day until participant is taking 5 capsules per day.
