| pubmed-article:1584101 | pubmed:abstractText | Dietary fish oil supplementation has received considerable interest as a non-pharmacological adjuvant in the treatment of several diseases, especially hypertension. However, epidemiological, clinical, and experimental evidence conflict. A hypothesis is proposed that fish oil, may have a variable effect on vascular reactivity and consequently, blood pressure. A mechanism is proposed and reasons for the variation in the literature suggested. On the basis of this analysis a potentially adverse effect of dietary fish oil on blood pressure in some individuals is suggested. | lld:pubmed |
