Moderate Dietary Supplementation with Omega-3 Fatty Acids Does Not Impact Plasma Von Willebrand Factor Profile in Mildly Hypertensive Subjects

Figure 4

Effect of long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC n-3 PUFA) supplementation on von Willebrand factor (vWF) binding to collagen type I. There was no difference in vWF binding (international units/mL) to collagen between hypertensive and normotensive subjects at baseline (a). Twelve-week treatment of subjects with LC n-3 PUFAs or placebo had no effect on vWF binding to collagen (b). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. HT, hypertensive; NT, normotensive; n-3, LC n-3 PUFA.
