Fish oil, dash diet partially alters lipid metabolism
Advertisement
Type 2 diabetes is associated with elevated levels of metabolic abnormalities and systemic inflammation, with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) diseases. A recent study suggests that fish oil intervention with a dietary approach to stop hypertension (DASH) had partial alteration on lipid metabolism and inflammatory mediators. The study findings were presented at the Metabolic Institute of America (TMIOA) 2021 World Congress Insulin Resistance Diabetes & Cardiovascular Disease (WCIRDC) Meeting.
Omega-3 fatty acids contain two long-chain fats: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are found in oily fish. Recent studies demonstrated the effects of EPA and DHA on the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. To further evaluate Dr Fasail Ali and team hypothesized that altering the macronutrient composition of diets in patients with diabetes might alter metabolic and inflammatory abnormalities. They conducted a study to evaluate the changes in plasma lipid profile and identify potential inflammatory mediators following the DASH diet and the omega-3 capsules supplementation.
