Project: Metabolic effects of omega-3 fatty acid in situations of insulin resistance.

Project description:
This project aims to investigate the effect of fatty acids on the metabolic regulation of patients with insulin resistance due to the excessive accumulation of lipids in adipose and liver tissue common in chronic and subclinical inflammation caused by changes in inflammatory cells, biochemical markers of inflammation, and endoplasmic reticulum stress activation (ERE). For this, we intend to evaluate in two models of insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity), through clinical and experimental studies, the effect of treatment with omega-3 on insulin sensitivity on the subclinical inflammatory process, in the control of glucose and lipid metabolism, and in the activation of the ERE. It is assumed that omega-3 fatty acid modulates the gene expression of transcription factors such as PPAR and NFkB, contributing to reduce the inflammatory process and insulin resistance.
