Effects of fish oil on metabolic responses to oral fructose and glucose loads in healthy humans

Abstract: This study examines the effect of the substitution of 6 g/day of fish oil in a saturated diet on glucose and fructose metabolism in healthy humans. Five subjects were submitted to two 3-wk controlled-diet periods (polyunsaturated/saturated = 0.21). During one period, 6 g/day of fat used for dressing were replaced by 6 g/day of fish oil [1.1 g/day of 20:5 (n-3) fatty acids and 0.7 g/day of 22:6 (n-3) fatty acids]. At the end of each period the subjects ingested a 1 g/kg fructose or glucose load 2 days apart. Pl… Show more

“…Furthermore, a 35% increase in the cumulated net lipid oxidation has been previously reported in ®ve of these six subjects during the 6 h following a fructose and a glucose load (1 g kg 71 body weight). 29 The reduced basal (present study) and postprandial plasma insulin concentrations 29 might contribute to the facilitation of lipid oxidation during the ®sh oil period. In addition, ®sh oil has been shown to enhance carnitine palmitoyltransferase I activity in rats, 30 mice 31 and Syrian hamsters, 32 and to decrease the sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I to malonyl-CoA inhibition in liver mitochondria 33 even in rats fed ®sh oil at a level as low as 0.2% of the diet.…”

“…We observed [47] that a dietary substitution of 6 g·d -1 of fish oil (1.1 g EPA + 0.7 g DHA·d -1 ) over 3 weeks in healthy young adults studied for 6 h after a 1 g·kg -1 oral glucose load induced a 40% decrease in insulinaemic response without alteration of the glycaemic response. Plasma glucose utilization and endogenous glucose production were not modified by fish oil but whole body carbohydrate oxidation was 35% decreased, fat oxidation was 35% increased and glycogen storage 100% increased.…”

“…Despite intensive work, the fate of oral glucose remains surprisingly controversial. Reports of the cumulative appearance of oral glucose in plasma have varied from about 70% (34,35) to nearly 100% (36,37), and the maximal rates of glucose appearance have varied about 2-fold. Livesey et al (36) reported a study of glucose kinetics in 12-h fasted humans after an oral glucose load, using stable isotopes and mass spectrometry to detect gastric absorption of [ 13 C 6 ]glucose oral glucose.…”
