An alternative for prevention and treatment for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is increasing the intake of bioactive compounds as omega-3. However, several countries as M´ exico do not consume regularly foods with high content of omega-3, mainly fsh products due to cultural, social, and economic factors. Terefore, the addition of omega-3 in other food sources could contribute to completing the requirements established of these fatty acids. To evaluate the efect of the consumption of poultry products supplemented with omega-3 in healthy population, a phase 1, double blind randomized, controlled parallel-group trial was carried out. Afer 14 weeks, the supplemented group had an increase in HDL, reducing the atherogenic index. Te supplementation with omega-3 in poultry products could contribute to a cardioprotective efect. It is necessary to complete studies with a higher evaluation period to determine the improvement in anthropometric and cardiovascular parameters. 1. Introduction Te cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. An estimate of 17.7 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2015. World Health Organization (WHO) showed that CVD are the leading cause of mortality in Mexico. Risk factors include tobacco and alcohol use, physical inactivity, unhealthy diets, elevated blood pressure, overweight/obesity, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia [1–5]. Terefore, it is necessary to modify the lifestyles mainly by improving the diet. Several stud- ies show that the consumption of rich food in nutrients improves health. Te omega-3 fatty acids ofer a more suitable preventive or therapeutic option for many chronic diseases due to their biological activity [6, 7]. Various institutions had established recommendations for the consumption of omega-3 as a protective factor against several diseases: the American Dietetic Association (ADA); International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL); French Agency for Food Environment and Occupational Health Safety Omega-3 Report; European Society of Cardiology; Report FAO: FAT and Fatty acid in Human Nutrition; USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Tese recommendations of omega-3 intake difer from 250 mg up to 4 g/day, depending on whether it is for prevention [8, 9] or treatment of several pathologies [9–14]. In order to achieve this level of daily intake of omega-3, it is recommended to consume 600–660 g of fsh minimally per week [9–11], in particular fatty fsh such Hindawi Journal of Food Quality Volume 2018, Article ID 9620104, 8 pages https://doi.org/10.1155/2018/9620104
