Figure 1: Comparison of HDL-C in college-aged and middle-aged men in response to n-3 FA supplementation and bouts of exercise. The subjects exercised for 60 minutes at 55-60 maximal heart rate followed by 2 weeks fish oil supplementation (0.9g n-3 FA), followed by the same amount and intensity as the initial bout of exercise. HDL-C values were determined before and after each bout of exercise. Baseline values are indicated as PreEx. Data are reported as means ± SE, n=7 for older middle-aged men and n=8 for younger college-aged men.
*Significantly different from pre-exercise:pre-supplementation in respective group, P<0.001 for middle-aged men; P<0.02 for college-aged men).
#Only in the middle-aged men significantly different from post-exercise:presupplementation (P<0.001).
