Martek Biosciences (MATK) Release: New Study Concludes DHA Restores
Blood Vessel Function In Children With High Cholesterol
COLUMBIA, Md., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Docosahexaenoic Acid
(DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid, restores normal blood vessel function in
children with inherited high cholesterol, according to results of a new
study published in the December issue of The International Journal of
Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics. The study concludes that
restoration of normal blood vessel function has the "potential for
preventing the progression of early coronary heart disease in high-risk
children." The study used Martek DHA(TM), which is produced from
microalgae.
"Our findings are the first to suggest that supplementation with DHA
may improve vascular health in hyperlipidemic children at high risk for
early heart disease," said Dr. Marguerite Engler, the study's lead
investigator and professor at the University of California, San
Francisco.
The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, involved twenty
children (between the ages of 9-19) with inherited high cholesterol.
The children received Martek DHA(TM) supplements over one six week
period and a placebo over another six week period. After the period in
which they received the DHA, the children's blood vessel function
improved significantly, demonstrating that DHA restores blood vessel
function in children with high cholesterol to the levels reported in
healthy children.
"The evidence continues to accumulate on the cardiovascular benefits of
DHA for people of all ages," stated Henry "Pete" Linsert, Jr., Chairman
and CEO of Martek. "This study clearly indicates that DHA played an
important role in healthy blood vessel function in the children in this
study."
Developed by a process that extracts DHA from algae under tightly
controlled manufacturing conditions, Martek DHA(TM) is free of chemical
pollutants and toxins that may be present in certain fish oils. Martek
DHA(TM) is available to consumers through Neuromins(R) DHA.
Martek Biosciences Corporation develops and sells products from
microalgae. The Nutritional Products Group manufactures and sells two
nutritional fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic
acid (ARA). Martek has patented its DHA (DHASCO(R)) and ARA (ARASCO(R))
oil blend (Formulaid(R)) and sells it to infant formula manufacturers
worldwide. Martek also sells its DHA oil, under the Neuromins(R) brand
name, to the nutritional supplement industry, either directly or
through a number of supplement manufacturers. The Fluorescent Products
Group develops and sells a series of proprietary and non-proprietary
fluorescent markers. These markers have been designed for use in a wide
range of drug discovery and research applications.
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding
Martek's products. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties that
could cause future actual results to differ due to a variety of risk
factors, including without limitation those factors set forth in
Martek's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

So a fat can be healthy? You would think that it would make these
low-fat diet supporters re-think their silliness.

| make SURE you get a clean brand though. You also have to be aware of
the vitamin A and D in them and potential problems caused by that. For
most people, in the winter a teaspoon or less a day probably wo'nt hurt
them, but that may not be true for all people. I think
www.consumerlabs.com tests cod liver oil supplements for purity.
Carlson's brand I believe is pretty good.

Thanks for this Tom. Hmmmm...maybe I should re-think those cod-liver
oil capsules I was forced to take throughout my childhood and youth. Zee
