... of 5 weeks with 30 healthy subjects. The daily intake chosen was four and eight capsules corresponding to 1.26 or 2.52 g ω-3 fatty acids. Plasma viscosity, erythrocyte rigidity and systolic blood pressure were significantly decreased (p < 0.01) after a 5-week administration of 2.52 g ω-3 fatty acid...

...H. Kesteloot The relationship between dietary cations and blood pressure is complex. Epidemiological evidence points to a significant independent positive relationship between dietary sodium and blood pressure. The same evidence favours the existence of a significant negative relationship between...

... serum uric acid and inorganic phosphorus increased as the level of dietary sucrose increased. Diastolic blood pressure was significantly higher when subjects were on the 33% sucrose diet as compared to the 5 and 18 % diets. Serum glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase was not affected by diet. In tolerance...
