Effects of N-3 PUFAs Supplementation on Insulin Resistance and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Hemodialysis Patients (original) (raw)

This study investigates the effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) supplementation on insulin resistance and inflammatory biomarkers in hemodialysis patients. A total of 42 patients were monitored, assessing various fatty acid levels before and after supplementation. Results indicate significant changes in fatty acid profiles, improvements in insulin resistance metrics, and a trend towards reduced inflammation, suggesting potential benefits of n-3 PUFA supplementation in this patient demographic.
