Abstract:Long chain n-3 fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFA) prevent, in rodents, insulin-resistance (IR) induced by a high fat and/or fructose diet, but not IR induced by glucocorticoids. In humans, contrasting effects have also been reported. We investigated their effects on insulin sensitivity, feed intake, and body weight gain in genetically insulin resistant male obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats (ZO) during the development of obesity. ZO rats were fed a diet supplemented with 7% fish oil + 1% corn oil (wt/wt) (ZOFO), while the cont… Show more
