Fish, marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and coronary heart disease: A minireview with focus on clinical trial data

In this paper, we will briefly deal with the background for the possible effects of long-chain marine n-3 (also called omega-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in coronary heart disease (CHD) and then focus on findings from clinical trials in humans. We will not deal with effects of α-linolenic acid, the non-marine type of n-3 PUFA derived from plant oils.
