Researchers have found that these acids help lower bad LDL cholesterol and triglyceride blood fat in people with elevated levels of these substances, thus reducing the risk of arteriosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke. They appear to work by attacking prostaglandins and other compounds that can cause blood clots and make blood vessels constrict, leading to high blood pressure. They also raise levels of healthy HDL cholesterol, which helps prevent plaque formation in the arteries. |
