Brief Summary

In this Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) we want to study the effect of an oil with high concentrations of cetoelic acid (C22:n1-11) (intervention) compared to supplements with a low concentration of cetoleic acid (control), but with equivalent content of EPA og DHA, on plasma levels of epa and dha as well as atherosclerotic markers, glucose, c-peptide and triglycerides in a patient group with a metabolically unfavorable phenotype. Our primary endpoints are changes in the concentration of EPA and DHA in plasma.
