- Abstract
The article discusses a clinical study on the role of the dietary supplement decosahexaenic acid (DHA) in improving endothelial dysfunctions of the heart. The dysfunction is characterized by poor blood circulation and weak blood vessels caused by a decrease in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in the blood cells. Dietary supplements like decosahexaenic acid have been found to stimulate the growth of endothelial cells as it activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Decosahexaenic acid can be found in polyunsaturated fatty acids like fish oil.
