  • Prevention of Potential Adverse Metabolic Effects of a Supplementation with Omega-3 Fatty Acids Using a Genetic Score Approach. - Lifestyle genomics (2021) · Franck M, de Toro-Martín J, Guénard F, Rudkowska I, Lemieux S, Lamarche B, Couture P, Vohl MC · PubMed 31779001

    The consumption of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) has been reported to have beneficial health effects, notably, by reducing plasma triglyceride levels. Nonetheless, a concomitant decrease in insulin sensitivity has also been observed, but is highly variable among subjects. Herein, we aimed to determine the importance of the genetic background in the interindividual variability of the insulin sensitivity response following an n-3 PUFA supplementation. A total of 210 participants completed a 6-week n-3 PUFA supplementation with 5 g/day of fish oil (providing 1.9-2.2 g of eicosapentaenoic acid + 1.1 g of docosahexaenoic acid). Insulin resistance was estimated by the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR), and participants were further classified as high-risk or low-

  • n-3 PUFA supplementation Moderate

    Risk allele A is associated with impaired insulin sensitivity in response to n-3 PUFA supplementation

    If considering n-3 PUFA supplements, discuss with physician and monitor glucose and fasting insulin
