Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Genes Interact to Influence Cardiometabolic Health.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Fish oil supplement for Metabolic Syndrome X. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Fish oil supplements (which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids) have been shown to provide cardiometabolic benefits to individuals of all ages. Specifically, the daily consumption of fish oil supplements has been reported to reduce blood triglyceride levels, and influence glucose homeostasis and whole-body inflammation. However, recent evidence highlights important gaps in our understanding with respect to the impact of fish oil supplements on health; specifically, not everyone responds to these supplements in the same manner. The goal of this research is to explore how an individual's genetic make-up may modify their response to fish oil supplements.
