Fish Oil on Mitochondrial Functions and Lactate Threshold

he objective of this study is to compare the effects two different formulations of fish oil monoglycerides on the mitochondrial functions and on the lactate threshold of athletes during a high intensity exercise. Twenty four (24) subjects will be enrolled in the study and followed for a period of 90 days. A first visit will capture all the baseline parameters and will be followed by two subsequent visits (at day 45 and at day 90) where the same measurements will be done. The subjects will be divided in two parallel groups. Subjects of group A will receive a constant daily dose of 4,3g eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) whereas subjects of group B will receive a constant daily dose of 4,4g of EPA only. Subjects will be treated from day 1 to day 90 without interruption or modification to their regimen.
