title: Effect of omega-3 supplementation versus placebo on acylation stimulating protein receptor gene expression in type 2 diabetics.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  This randomized controlled trial investigated the role of omega-3 supplementation on C5L2 gene expression in type 2 diabetics.
  
  
  METHODS
  Subjects in the omega-3 group received 4 g omega-3 per day and subjects in the placebo group took four capsules of placebo per day for 10 weeks. Gene expression was measured by RT- PCR at the beginning and end of the study.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results of this study show depletion in the omega-3 group, but the mean difference between two groups was not significant.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Understanding the effect of the omega-3 pathway could contribute to targeting treatment of diabetes and its comorbidities.
