Fish oil benefits for type 2 diabetes : Fish oil, a supplement often associated with heart health, may have a surprising connection to insulin resistance, particularly in a form of type 2 diabetes that affects people who are not obese.
A study published in 'Nutrients' found that omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil helped reduce insulin resistance and improve glucose tolerance in non-obese rats with a diabetes-like metabolic condition, as per a report. The research, funded by FAPESP, focused on Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats, a widely used animal model for studying non-obese type 2 diabetes.
