Brief Summary

Monoglyceride of DHA (DHA-MAG) is a lipid compound for which intestinal absorption would increase the ratio DHA / arachidonic acid (AA) and promote the synthesis of specific metabolites involved in the resolution of inflammation. The PREMDIC project, initiated at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke, is a randomized double-blind study for people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and aims to evaluate whether daily supplementation monoglyceride of DHA (a fatty acid omega-3 family) will reduce lung inflammation and improve pulmonary function.
