Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated the impact of 12-week supplementation with flaxseed oil (FO), which is high in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), on cardiovascular risk factors, specifically targeting serum small dense low-density lipoprotein (sd-LDL) levels.
  • In a randomized crossover trial with 15 participants, subjects took either FO or corn oil daily, and blood samples were analyzed at different intervals to assess lipid profiles.
  • Results showed that FO significantly reduced sd-LDL levels and influenced other lipid-related markers compared to corn oil, especially in individuals with elevated triglyceride levels.
