Microencapsulated Fish Oil or Conjugated Linoleic Acid in Metabolic Syndrome
Overview
Our aim was to assess the effects of a hypocaloric diet, including diet fruit jelly with microencapsulated fish oil or conjugated linoleic acid or placebo, on anthropometry, body composition, insulin resistance and lipid profile in women with metabolic syndrome and genotype Pro12Pro in the PPAR gamma 2 gene.
Full Title of Study: “Hypocaloric Diet With or Without Microencapsulated Fish Oil or Conjugated Linoleic Acid on Oxidative Stress and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Women With Metabolic Syndrome Genotyped for Polymorphisms in the Genes PPAR Gamma 2 (Pro12Ala) and Adiponectin (G276T)”
