“Increased triglyceride due to isotretinoin was reduced by 70% (P < 0.05) and cholesterol by 45% (P < 0.05) after addition of fish oil ; placebo oil had no effect.”
“Therefore fish oil inhibits hypertriglyceridaemia due to isotretinoin and etretinate and reduces increased cholesterol levels due to isotretinoin; this effect is likely to be due to altered lipoprotein composition.”
