plasma MDA values were slightly
decreased after intake of all types of bread. This study showed that in
subjects with hyperlipidemia intake of bread containing a small
amount of fish oil results in a significant increase in omega-3 fatty
acids, an increase in HDL-cholesterol, and a decrease in triglycerides
and MDA, which may reduce the risk of ischemic heart disease.
Neilsen (1992) studied the effect of white bread enriched with n−3
fatty acids in the form of gelatine-coated fish oil and marketed in
Denmark since 1990 under the name of ‘Omega Bread’. This bread was
found to be a reliable and significant source of higher n−3 PUFA (with
20 and 22 C atoms).
