Effect of flaxseed oil supplementation on anthropometric and metabolic indices in patients with coronary artery disease: A doubleblinded randomized controlled trial

At the end of the intervention, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decreased significantly (P = 0.022) in the intervention group. [...]the triglyceride (TG) level decreased significantly in the intervention group from 173.45 (49.09) to 139.33 (34.26) (P < 0.001). In a recent study adding 7% flaxseed oil to the skimmed milk did not have negative effects on physicochemical parameters of the emulsion. [...]the overall acceptability of the flaxseed oil enriched milk was good.19 On the other hand, milk is consumed frequently. [...]the control group had a higher level of HDL in baseline which led to not significant difference between the two groups after intervention. [...]greater decline in lipid concentrations upon intervention was observed in patients with higher baseline lipid levels. [...]the findings of the present study suggest that flaxseed oil consumption by CAD patients is effective in reducing TG and DBP, and is expected to significantly reduce the overall CVD risk factors.
