<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Dietary supplements containing EPA and DHA lower triglycerides in a dose dependent manner; however, DHA appears to raise [[low-density lipoprotein]] (the variant which drives atherosclerosis, sometimes inaccurately called "bad cholesterol") and [[LDL-C]] values (a measurement/estimate of the cholesterol mass within LDL-particles), while EPA does not. This effect has been seen in several [[Meta-analysis|meta-analyses]] that combined hundreds of individual clinical trials in which both EPA and DHA were part of a high dose omega-3 supplement, but it is when EPA and DHA are given separately that the difference can be seen clearly. For example, in a study by Schaefer and colleagues of Tufts Medical School, patients were given either 600&nbsp;mg/day DHA alone, 600 or 1800&nbsp;mg/day EPA alone, or placebo for six weeks. The DHA group showed a significant 20% drop in triglycerides and an 18% increase in LDL-C, but in the EPA groups modest drops in triglyceride were not considered statistically significant and no changes in LDL-C levels were found with either dose.</div>FuzzyBot
