Summary

The oxidation level of unsaturated fatty acid supplements commercialized in capsules could be a serious problem for manufacturers and a risk to consumers; health by ingesting substances whose effects are not desired. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to analyze the effect of dietary supplements Omega-3 with different levels of oxidation in the lipid profile of women who consume these supplements. For this purpose the investigators have designed a single-blind, parallel-groups, randomized controlled trial. Finally, 52 women between 25 and 75 years old were randomly distributed into three groups: (1) took 2 capsules/day of one of the less oxidized oil (containing 300 mg EPA + DHA) and diet, (2) took 2 capsules/day of one of the most oxidized oil (containing 300 mg EPA + DHA) and diet and (3) no capsules, only received the diet. There was a 30 days follow-up . All groups followed a low cholesterol diet. Circulating glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides and glutamic pyruvic transaminase were determined at the beginning and end of a 30 day period.
