Eating fish can protect against heart disease, but also increase blood levels of a chemical associated with unhealthy diets which has been linked to heart disease.
Our study will determine whether this chemical is a cause for concern with those who eat a diet high in fish, or whether fish should be considered a healthy alternative to eating meat-based diets in terms of heart disease.
We are looking for healthy, overweight volunteers, both male and female, with elevated blood lipids, sugar or blood pressure but not on medication, to take part in a dietary intervention study.
Volunteers should be aged between 30 and 65 years old, have a BMI of 25-29.9, have no history of heart disease or other inflammatory diseases, and should not be taking any medication for cholesterol or lipaemia.
We would also ask that volunteers are not taking any dietary supplements.
