Possible Interaction: Fish Oils and Glucose

“ Glucose increased 11% (P = 0.0047) with fish oils.”

“Feeding FO reduced plasma concentrations of glucose.”

“Indeed, fish oil reduces insulin response to oral glucose without altering the glycaemic response, abolishes extraggression at times of mental stress, decreases the activation of sympathetic activity during mental stress and also decreases plasma triglycerides.”

“…,fish oil … glucose (by (mean±SD) 0.49±0.43 mmol/L, 0.58±0.89 mmol/L, 0.28±0.33 g/L and 0.…±0.28 ng/mL, 121±31 pg/mL, 83±60 IU/L and 10.9±2.3 pg/mL, respectively, P<0.001).”

“During …, fish oil reduced the stimulation of both the Rd glucose (5·06 (se 0·23) v. 6·37 (se 0·12) mg/kg per min; P<0·05) and HGP (4·88 (se 0·24) v. 5·91 (se 0·21) mg/kg per min; P<0·05).”

“ Fish oil also reduced glucose metabolic clearance rate (6·93 (se 0·29) v. 8·30 (se 0·57) ml/min).”

“It is concluded that fish oil reduced the Rd glucose by 26% by reducing glucose metabolic clearance rate, possibly by facilitating fat oxidation, and reduced HGP by 21%, possibly by a feedback mechanism.”

“Dietary substitution of FO induced an effect per se on some parameters such as decreased hepatic glucose and glycogen levels and peroxidase activity in plasma as well enhanced serotonergic activity in brain of non-stressed fish.”

“The results show that the fish oil influenced in the concentration of blood glucose in the animals, keeping stable levels even after a pool of glucose.”

“ Fish oil combined with sucrose, glucose , or high-GI starch promotes obesity, and the reported anti-inflammatory actions of fish oil are abrogated.”

“ Fish oil caused a reduction in TGs (56%) and glucose (26%).”

“The blood glucose levels were significantly decreased in 27% of the mice fed high-fat diets containing 20% fish oil 30 and 60 min after the oral administration of glucose (both; p < 0.05).”
