Twice weekly intake of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) positively influences lipoprotein concentration and particle size in overweight men and women

The U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend twice weekly fish intake. Farmed Atlantic salmon is a good source of omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids which have positive lipid modifying effects; however, it is unknown whether these responses are dose-dependent. Our primary research objective was to determine the effect of dose- dependent intake of farmed Atlantic salmon on lipoprotein particle (P) size and concentration. We hypothesized that LDL-P and HDL-P size and concentration would increase with salmon intake in a dose- dependent manner.
