“…Moreover, the amount of water-soluble vitamins in seafood muscle tissue compared to other food groups and the greater range of minerals fish contain are an undeniable asset when pursuing a healthier diet (Brown, 1986;Kinsella, 1988;Pigott and Tucker, 1990;Holland et al, 1993). Nor are these benefits confined to marine finfish or shellfish alone; freshwater fish has desirable nutritive value as well, although in general with a somewhat less favorable fatty acid profile (Å gren et al, 1987;Hearn et al, 1987a;Henderson and Tocher, 1987;Å gren et al, 1988;Pigott and Tucker, 1990;Wang et al, 1990;Steiner-Asiedu et al, 1991a,b;Vlieg et al, 1991;Sinclair et al, 1992;Tidwell et al, 1993;Hyvönen and Koivistoinen, 1994).…”

“…Fish intake and/or n-3 fatty acid intake are known to inversely relate to TG [30][31][32] . Thus, it is plausible to hypothesize that the P/S ratio relates inversely to having MetS or metabolic risk factors.…”

Aim:There have been few studies on the relationships of the dietary polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio (P/S) to cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome. We hypothesized that there would be favorable relationships. Methods: Metabolic cardiovascular risk factors from dietary nutrient intake were investigated in 1,004 men and women aged 40 − 59 years from 4 population samples of Japanese. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the relationship of the dietary P/S ratio to the following risk factors: hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure, serum triglycerides, LDL and total cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol. Adjusted odds ratio of having metabolic syndrome was also calculated. Results: The dietary P/S ratio was significantly and inversely related to serum total and LDL cholesterol with control for possible confounding variables. We did not find any significant relationship between the P/S ratio and single metabolic risk factors or the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Conclusions: Managing the P/S ratio is important to control serum LDL-cholesterol; however, increasing the P/S ratio may not improve metabolic risk factors. Other countermeasures, such as weight control, greater physical activity, and smoking cessation should be recommended to prevent and control metabolic syndrome.

“…Intervention studies have also revealed that fish intake raises HDLcholesterol (65,72,73,77,78) and reduces Apo(A) (65,70). Reductions in LDL-cholesterol (68,73,76) and in Apo(B) (69,70) have been reported after fish intake, but the opposite has also been reported (79). Many studies have also failed to find any significant effect of fish intake on total cholesterol (66,71,74,76,78), LDL-cholesterol (66,74,78), HDL-cholesterol (66,74) and Apo(B) (74,78).…”

The antiatherogenic and antithrombotic effects of fish-oil-derived n-3 (omega-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids have given these compounds a dominating role in explaining the tentatively beneficial effects of fish, e.g. in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). As a result, the words ''omega-3'' and ''fish'' are often lumped together in both experimental studies and reviews. There are, however, strong reasons for separating fish lipids from whole fish muscle. The fish muscle matrix is highly complex, and many other compounds therein have been suggested as bioactive. This review summarizes data from epidemiological and intervention studies addressing effects of fish consumption per se on CVD. Potential roles of fish in CVD protection, and some risks connected to excessive fish eating, i.e. biocides and oxidation, are also discussed. Twelve out of 18 prospective cohort studies, two out of two case Á/control studies and two out of three ecological studies indicated reduced coronary mortality among subpopulations eating more fish, often at low fish intakes. Two cohort studies indicated increased risk for cardiovascular mortality. Out of 16 epidemiological studies in total, six prospective cohort studies, two case Á/control studies and one ecological study indicated a reduced risk of coronary morbidity with higher fish consumption, and one cohort study indicated an elevated risk of coronary morbidity. Two intervention studies on men with coronary heart disease produced different results, one indicating decreased total mortality, with lower coronary morbidity, but the other indicating an elevated risk for coronary mortality without affecting total morbidity. Thus, ample epidemiological data favour fish intake for reducing mortality and morbidity in cardiovascular disease, although evidence from intervention studies is inconsistent. Among risk factors for CVD that have been proven to be affected by a fish-containing diet are high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum triglycerides and blood clotting, the former increasing and the latter two decreasing.
