Values are presented as mean (SD). Total omega-3 supplement group is a combination of fish oil and flaxseed oil groups. HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides. No interaction between NOS3 genotypes and omega-3 supplements for the lipid traits was observed.

Values are presented as mean (SD). Total omega-3 supplement group is a combination of fish oil and flaxseed oil groups. HDL-C, high cv LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides.

Significant interaction (p-interaction = 0.02) between the PPARG genotypes and the omega-3 supplements for the change in LDL-C was observed in the general linear model, after adjustment for age, sex, study centre, BMI and baseline value of corresponding outcome. PPARG G allele carriers had a higher increase in LDL-C level compared with CC carriers among control group (p = 0.022), while no difference was observed among omega-3 groups.
