Gestational diabetes mellitus: so Omega-3 transmission to the fetus is impaired

Women with gestational diabetes mellitus, an alteration in glucose metabolism that appears during pregnancy, possess low concentrations of Omega 3 DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in plasma, placenta, and umbilical cord.

Do omega-3s help prevent type 2 diabetes?

The high concentration of Omega 3 in serum may protect against type 2 diabetes. In fact, in middle-aged men, high fish consumption, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and DPA (docosapentaenoic acid) appears to be associated with an approximately 30 percent reduction in the risk of developing the disease.

Can DHA fight insulin resistance in muscles?

Supplementation with omega 3 DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) helps counteract poor insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle by blocking inflammation and lipotoxicity. This was discovered by a team of researchers from INRA, the French National Institute of Agronomic Research, and published in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry.

Type 1 diabetes: omega-3s improve kidney health

Researchers at the Institute of Metabolic Science in Cambridge, UK, showed in a study published in the journal Diabetes Care that high consumption of these fatty acids reduces the elimination of albumin through the urine, an indicator of good kidney function.

Metabolic syndrome: omega-3s reduce risk factors for diabetes

Omega-3 fatty acids may improve blood lipid levels in individuals with metabolic syndrome. This is shown by a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, which found that the risk of developing the serious health problems associated with this disorder.

Type 2 diabetes: Omega-3s from fish oil protect the kidney

Patients with type 2 diabetes could improve kidney health by supplementing their diet with omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish oil.

Type 2 diabetes: omega-3s against the risk of atherosclerosis

Intake of omega-3 fatty acids brings the activity of paraoxonase, an enzyme that counteracts atherosclerosis and whose function is reduced in those with type 2 diabetes, back to normal.

Omega-3s level triglycerides in patients with diabetes problems

Omega 3s represent a new therapeutic opportunity for those with diabetes who have problems with excessively high blood lipids. Eliot Brinton, M.D., of the Utah Foundation for Biomedical Research in Salt Lake City, USA, previewed the news at the American Diabetes Association's annual conference in Philadelphia, USA.

EPA and DHA help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes

Omega-3 appears to protect individuals with high levels of free fatty acids, which instead promote the onset of the disease, from type 2 diabetes. Specifically, high omega-3 Index-the percentage of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) to total fatty acids in red blood cell membranes-is associated with a low risk of developing the disease.
