RESUMO

The cardiovascular diseases are responsible for the main causes (dislipidemias and arterial hypertension) of death, being that the conventional treatment is make with statin. Today some compoments presents in food it was been pointed as alternatives or coadjutants in treatment. The objective of this research was to evaluate the concentration control of cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and arterial pressure in humans. The study was divided in three treatments (placebo, statin and ω-3) with diet of 1,200 calories by day to every groups with eight patients each treatment, appraised in time zero and thirty days. This study showed that all the treatments had reductions of weight, but it wasn't verified changes significative in BMI. The circumference waist decreased approximately three centimeters in all the treatments, to the circumference hip there was a larger decrease in statin treatment (reduction of 2.44 centimeter). For the waist-hip circumference there wasn't difference in all the treatments. The total cholesterol had decrease of 41%; 11.38% and 5% to statin, diet and ω-3 treatments, respectively. For the HDL-cholesterol the statin treatments increased 10.09%, diet decrease 9.65% and ω-3 not promoted change in values. In LDL-cholesterol the statin and ω-3 treatments decrease 49% and 3.03%, respectively, but the diet treatment increased 3.46%. For the triglycerides the diet, statin and ω-3 treatments decrease 28.05%; 18.95% and 13.45%, respectively. The systolic arterial pressure (SAP) and diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) in statin treatment decrease 3.52% and 4.60%, respectively. In the diet treatment the decrease was of 1.82% and 5.14% in SAP and DAP, respectively. In ω-3 treatment there was a discreet increase as much SAP (11.30%) as DAP (9.87%). With this concluded that the hip circumference showed difference statistical. In three treatments the weight, BMI, waist circumferences, waisthip circumference, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, SAP and DAP wasn't difference in experiment.
