A diet rich in fatty fish, including salmon, rainbow trout, and Baltic herring, altered the profile of HDL particles in a small study of Finnish men and women with impaired glucose metabolism[1].
Although total-, LDL-, and HDL-cholesterol levels did not change, for those who consumed this healthy diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, the intake of fish was strongly correlated with an increased concentration of large HDL particles, including an increase in the average diameter of HDL particles and an increase in the concentrations of large HDL lipid components.
