Mode of action of fish oil
fish oil contains Omega-3- triglycerides and highly unsaturated fatty acids including eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids. Omega-3- triglycerides reduce plasma triglyceride concentration but increases the plasma cholesterol level. So it is doubtful whether it reduce the risk of myocardial infarction.
Mechanism of action of fish oils on plasma triglycerides are unknown. eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids inhibit platelet function and aggregation, prolong bleeding time, has anti inflammatory effects and reduces plasma fibrinogen. These are much more possible methods of reducing the risk of myocardial infarctions.
