Summary: | Purpose
Heat shock proteins (HSP-27) are reported to be involved in the pathophysiology of diabetes complications. The purpose of the current study is to assess the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) supplementation on serum HSP-27, glycemic status and anthropometric indices in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.
Methods
Thirty-six patients with T2DM were randomly allocated to obtain 2 g per day EPA (n = 18) or placebo (n = 18) for 8 weeks in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Fasting serum levels of HSP 27, fasting blood sugar, hemoglobin A1C, as well as anthropometric indices were measured.
Results
EPA supplementation reduces the serum level of HSP 27 in the EPA group compared with the placebo (P |
