Conclusion Plant and marine sources of n-3 PUFAs can modify serum leptin and adiponectin levels by increasing adiponectin and decreasing leptin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes .
Due to some limitations in this study , further studies are needed to reach a definitive conclusion about the effect of n-3 PUFAs on the levels of leptin and adiponectin in T2DM
Abstract Aim N-3 PUFAs can potentially influence levels of inflammatory and non-inflammatory adipokines .
Given the contradictory effects of n-3 PUFAs on serum levels of adipokines in type 2 diabetes , we conducted a systematic review and meta- analysis study of r and omized placebo-controlled clinical trials that examined the effects of n-3 PUFAs on serum levels of leptin and adiponectin in patients with type 2 diabetes .
Impact of polyunsaturated vegetable oils on adiponectin levels, glycaemia and blood lipids in individuals with type 2 diabetes: a randomised, double-blind intervention study.
BACKGROUND Low adiponectin levels are discussed as risk factor for cardiovascular events . This is of special importance in individuals with type 2 diabetes ( T2DM ) because they are at higher risk for cardiovascular diseases . The present study aim ed to investigate the effect of two plant oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids ( PUFA ) , with different content of omega-3 fatty acids , on adiponectin levels , glucose and lipid metabolism in T2DM individuals treated either with insulin or oral anti-diabetics ( OAD ) . METHODS Ninety-two subjects with T2DM [ 34 treated with insulin ( T2DM-Ins ) and 58 treated with OAD ( T2DM-OAD ) ] participated in this r and omised , double-blind , parallel intervention study . Individuals received either 9 g of nut oil ( n-3:n-6 ratio : 1.3 : 6.1 ) or mixed oil ( n-3:n-6 ratio : 0.6 : 5.7 ) per day for 10 weeks . The fatty acid profile , tocopherol , adiponectin levels and parameters regarding glucose and lipid metabolism were assessed at baseline , during and after the intervention . RESULTS Compliance was confirmed by significant increases in γ-tocopherol and PUFA in both oil groups . An increase in adiponectin levels in T2DM-Ins participants ( + 6.84 % in nut oil and + 4.47 % in mixed oil group after 10 weeks compared to baseline ) was observed , albeit not significantly different from T2DM-OAD individuals ( P = 0.051 ) . Lipid and glucose metabolism were not affected by the intervention . CONCLUSIONS The present study provides evidence that a small and easy change in dietary behaviour towards better fat quality moderately increases adiponectin levels in T2DM-Ins subjects , independently of the administered plant oil
