Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of omega-3-rich fish oil supplementation with or without physical activity on anti-inflammatory and insulin resistance parameters in obese and type 2 diabetic individuals. Methods: Randomized, double-blind intervention study of omega-3. Adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus on exclusive use of metformin as a drug to control blood glucose will be included. The Protocol will be based on clinical and nutritional follow-up (supplementation with omega-3) and remote physical activity for eight weeks. Individuals selected for the study will be randomly assigned to one of the following groups: i) omega-3; ii) omega-3 + physical activity; iii) physical activity + placebo; iv) placebo. To analyze the results, biochemical parameters (fasting glucose and insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin, liver enzymes, urea, creatinine, total cholesterol and fractions, triglycerides, CRP, and ferritin) and inflammatory parameters (TNF alpha, IL-1 beta, IL- 6 and IL-10). At the end of the study, it is expected that the intervention associated with omega-3 in the physical activity protocol will promote a reduction in parameters related to insulin resistance, levels of inflammatory cytokines, and anthropometric parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
