FADS Polymorphism, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Diabetes Risk: A Systematic Review.

Nutrients - 13 Jun 2018

Brayner Bárbara, Kaur Gunveen, Keske Michelle A, Livingstone Katherine M

Abstract excerpt

The role of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFA) in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is not well established. The synthesis of LC n-3 PUFA requires fatty acid desaturase enzymes, which are encoded by the FADS gene. It is unclear if FADS polymorphism and dietary fatty acid intake can influence plasma or erythrocyte membrane fatty acid profile and thereby the risk of T2DM. Thus, the...
