title = "Effect of linseed oil ingestion on plasma lipid fatty acid composition and platelet aggregability in healthy volunteers",
abstract = "Eight healthy volunteers ingested 60 ml linseed oil over a period of six weeks. Icosapentaenoic acid increased in plasma triglycerides (TG), phospholipids (PL) and cholesteryl esters (CE) but did not exceed mean values of 2%. α-Linolenic acid rose markedly in TG, linoleic acid decreased in TG and CE, and arachidonic acid decreased in PL and CE. Two additional subjects on a similar regimen underwent blood platelet aggregability tests by the collagen threshold procedure. In both cases a striking decrease in platelet sensitivity to collagen was observed. The results show that linseed oil affects the polyunsaturated fatty acid profile of plasma lipids and suggest a possible alteration of platelet aggregability.",
