Omega-3 fatty acids reduced heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) in some studies, but dose-response studies are rare, and little is known about underlying mechanisms.
We examined effects of 0.85 g/day eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (low dose) and 3.4 g/day EPA + DHA (high dose) on HR and systemic hemodynamics during rest, speech, and foot cold pressor tasks.
This was a dose-response, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, crossover trial (8-week treatment, 6-week washout) in 26 adults.
Throughout the testing sessions, HR was reduced in a dose-dependent manner. The high dose reduced BP and stroke volume and increased pre-ejection period. Reductions in BP were associated with increases in erythrocyte omega-3 fatty acids.
High-dose long-chain omega-3 fatty acids can reduce BP and HR, at rest and during stress. These findings suggest that at-risk populations may achieve benefits with increased omega-3 intake. The trial was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00504309).
一些研究表明,ω-3 脂肪酸可降低心率(HR)和血压(BP),但剂量反应研究较为罕见,其潜在机制知之甚少。
我们研究了每天 0.85 克二十碳五烯酸(EPA)+二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)(低剂量)和 3.4 克 EPA+DHA(高剂量)对静息、言语和足部冷加压任务期间心率和全身血液动力学的影响。
这是一项剂量反应、安慰剂对照、双盲、随机、交叉试验(8 周治疗,6 周洗脱期),纳入了 26 名成年人。
在整个测试过程中,心率呈剂量依赖性降低。高剂量可降低血压和每搏量,并增加射血前期。血压的降低与红细胞中 ω-3 脂肪酸的增加有关。
高剂量长链 ω-3 脂肪酸可降低静息和应激时的血压和心率。这些发现表明,高危人群可能会通过增加 ω-3 脂肪酸的摄入而获益。该试验在 ClinicalTrials.gov 注册(NCT00504309)。
