Vascular dysfunction is a major complication of diabetes mellitus that leads to cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aimed to examine the effects of omega-3 consumption on endothelial function, vascular structure, and metabolic parameters in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 51 adolescents (10-18 years) with T1DM completed the study. Patients received 600 mg/day [containing 180 mg eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 120 mg docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)] of omega-3 or placebo for 12 weeks. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), total cholesterol, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, fasting blood sugar (FBS), hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), serum insulin (SI), urine albumin-creatinine ratio (uACR), blood pressure, and anthropometric indices were assessed at the baseline and after the intervention.
Following supplementation, omega-3 significantly increased FMD (3.1 ± 4.2 vs. -0.6 ± 4%, = 0.006) and decreased TG (-7.4 ± 10.7 vs. -0.1 ± 13.1 mg/dl, = 0.022) in comparison with the placebo group. However, no significant difference was observed regarding CIMT (-0.005 ± 0.036 vs. 0.003 ± 0.021 mm, = 0.33). Although hs-CRP was significantly decreased within the omega-3 group ( = 0.031); however, no significant change was observed compared to placebo group ( = 0.221). Omega-3 supplementation had no significant effect on other variables.
Given the elevation in FMD and reduction in TG, omega-3 supplementation can improve vascular function and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in adolescents with T1DM patients.
血管功能障碍是糖尿病的主要并发症,可导致心血管疾病(CVD)。本研究旨在探讨摄入ω-3对1型糖尿病(T1DM)青少年内皮功能、血管结构和代谢参数的影响。
在这项随机、双盲、安慰剂对照的临床试验中,51名10至18岁的T1DM青少年完成了研究。患者接受12周的ω-3补充剂,剂量为600毫克/天[含180毫克二十碳五烯酸(EPA)和120毫克二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)]或安慰剂。在基线和干预后评估血流介导的血管舒张功能(FMD)、颈动脉内膜中层厚度(CIMT)、高敏C反应蛋白(hs-CRP)、红细胞沉降率(ESR)、甘油三酯(TG)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL)、高密度脂蛋白(HDL)、总胆固醇、血尿素氮(BUN)、肌酐、空腹血糖(FBS)、糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)、胰岛素抵抗稳态模型评估(HOMA-IR)、定量胰岛素敏感性检查指数(QUICKI)、血清胰岛素(SI)、尿白蛋白肌酐比值(uACR)、血压和人体测量指标。
与安慰剂组相比,补充ω-3后,FMD显著增加(3.1±4.2对-0.6±4%,P=0.006),TG降低(-7.4±10.7对-0.1±13.1毫克/分升,P=0.022)。然而,CIMT未见显著差异(-0.005±0.036对0.003±0.021毫米,P=0.33)。虽然ω-3组hs-CRP显著降低(P=0.031);但与安慰剂组相比无显著变化(P=0.221)。补充ω-3对其他变量无显著影响。
鉴于FMD升高和TG降低,补充ω-3可改善T1DM青少年的血管功能,并可能降低心血管疾病风险。
