here's another
http://www.oilofpisces.com/cholesterol.html"Promotion of nitric oxide induced endothelial relaxation "
perhaps its just a side effect of the macrophages producing increased NO while phagocyting along the endothelial linings of the blood vessels ?Just thought that maybe if someone had too much NO already, increased amounts might up the oxidation and peroxynitrates (OK I don't fully understand this) damage too much causes, basically just fishing for a reason why some of us may feel worse of fish oil....maybe those of us who tend to have maybe a fair amount of inflammatory stuff going on..as in autommune disease etc. Just thinking along those lines
