Abstract
Biological activity exerted by omega-3 fatty acids on body mass index, glucose, total cholesterol and blood pressure in obese children
Highlights
There are several studies which indicate that obesity is a factor risk involved in development of cardiovascular diseases [1,2,3]
The results showed that dietary intake of gummies with omega-3 fatty acids induces significantly changes on total cholesterol and body mass index levels in obese girls compared with obese boys
It is important to mention that it is necessary to evaluate the beneficial effect of omega-3 fatty acids on other biological parameters involved in the degree of obesity as well as the possible toxicity involved in its administration
Summary
There are several studies which indicate that obesity is a factor risk involved in development of cardiovascular diseases [1,2,3]. Other data suggest that the dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids may be negatively related to obesity and modulate the metabolism of lipids, which could result in the loss of body mass index [10]. This premise is supported by some studies, which indicate that triglyceride concentrations are reduced by intake dietary of omega-3 fatty acids at a dose of 3 g per day [11,12,13]. The results found relatively are few and have generally been conducted over short time periods with small sample sizes, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions
