Abstract
Background and Objectives Protein energy wasting and systemic inflammation are prevalent in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Omega-3 ( ω -3) fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and have been shown to improve protein homeostasis. We hypothesized that administration of high-dose (2.9 g/d) ω -3 would be associated with decreased muscle protein breakdown in MHD patients with systemic inflammation. Design, setting, participants...
