Quote: From IWIK..."I don't know if it is proper to refer to the Friedewald equation, but LDL-C est as = TC- HDL-C - (TG/5) suggests that decreasing TG by 21% more could increase LDL-C by 4.2% more...."

Simple Arrhythmic. The Friedewald equation

[[LDL-C = (TC-HDL-C) - (TG/5)]]...TG is trigs

A decrease in the trig levels of 21% should raise the LDL-C by 4.2%..The fact DHA lowered trigs more than EPA (in Mori) and also resulted in an expected (4.2%) increase in LDL-C levels is consistent with Friedewald..Mori does not offer any proof that EPA had the special ability to lower Trigs and not increase LDL-C..

Conclusion..Du is mistaken in her interpretation of Mori..Mori says nothing EPA's special effects regarding trig lowering.
