Abstract

35 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 complicated with hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, were treated for 8 months with poseidonol which incorporates essential polyunsaturated fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. Poseidonol reduced atherogenic index from 4.2 to 3.15. The study of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis points to signs of hypocoagulation and normalization of fibrinolytic activity against previous hypercoagulation and fibrinolysis depression.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 35 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
