Changes in desaturase activity are associated with insulin sensitivity and may be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Polymorphisms (SNPs) in the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene cluster have been associated with the homeostasis model assessment of insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IS) and serum fatty acid composition.
To investigate whether common genetic variations in the FADS gene cluster influence fasting glucose (FG) and fasting insulin (FI) responses following a 6-week n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) supplementation.
210 subjects completed a 2-week run-in period followed by a 6-week supplementation with 5 g/d of fish oil (providing 1.9 g-2.2 g of EPA + 1.1 g of DHA). Genotyping of 18 SNPs of the FADS gene cluster covering 90% of all common genetic variations (minor allele frequency ≥ 0.03) was performed.
Carriers of the minor allele for rs482548 (FADS2) had increased plasma FG levels after the n-3 PUFA supplementation in a model adjusted for FG levels at baseline, age, sex, and BMI. A significant genotypesupplementation interaction effect on FG levels was observed for rs482548 (p = 0.008). For FI levels, a genotype effect was observed with one SNP (rs174456). For HOMA-IS, several genotypesupplementation interaction effects were observed for rs7394871, rs174602, rs174570, rs7482316 and rs482548 (p = 0.03, p = 0.01, p = 0.03, p = 0.05 and p = 0.07; respectively).
RESULTS suggest that SNPs in the FADS gene cluster may modulate plasma FG, FI and HOMA-IS levels in response to n-3 PUFA supplementation.
去饱和酶活性的变化与胰岛素敏感性有关,可能与 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)有关。脂肪酸去饱和酶(FADS)基因簇中的多态性(SNP)与胰岛素敏感的稳态模型评估(HOMA-IS)和血清脂肪酸组成有关。
研究 FADS 基因簇中的常见遗传变异是否影响 6 周 n-3 多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)补充后的空腹血糖(FG)和空腹胰岛素(FI)反应。
210 名受试者完成了 2 周的适应期,随后进行了 6 周的鱼油补充,每天 5 克(提供 1.9-2.2 克 EPA 和 1.1 克 DHA)。对 FADS 基因簇的 18 个 SNP 进行基因分型,这些 SNP 覆盖了所有常见遗传变异的 90%(次要等位基因频率≥0.03)。
在调整了基线 FG 水平、年龄、性别和 BMI 的模型中,rs482548(FADS2)的次要等位基因携带者在 n-3 PUFA 补充后血浆 FG 水平升高。rs482548 观察到 FG 水平的显著基因型补充相互作用效应(p=0.008)。对于 FI 水平,一个 SNP(rs174456)观察到基因型效应。对于 HOMA-IS,rs7394871、rs174602、rs174570、rs7482316 和 rs482548 观察到几个基因型补充相互作用效应(p=0.03、p=0.01、p=0.03、p=0.05 和 p=0.07;分别)。
结果表明,FADS 基因簇中的 SNP 可能调节 n-3 PUFA 补充后血浆 FG、FI 和 HOMA-IS 水平。
