Yes, it is used in the treatment of high cholesterol. Omacor reduces triglycerides by different, independent effects in the liver. The synthesis of triglycerides is inhibited through reduced production of triglycerides in the liver, as EPA and DHA are poor substrates for the enzymes responsible for triglyceride synthesis. EPA and DHA also inhibit esterification of other fatty acids. Omacor increases peroxisomomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids in the liver.
