A new study suggests fish oil may help reduce insulin resistance even in people who aren't obese.
A new study suggests fish oil may help reduce insulin resistance even in people who aren't obese. In diabetic rats, omega-3 supplementation improved blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and inflammation by shifting immune cells into a more anti-inflammatory mode.
The researchers observed a significant reduction in inflammatory markers and improved insulin sensitivity in the treated group.
This study provides evidence for the potential therapeutic benefits of omega-3 fatty acids in the management of type 2 diabetes.
