n-3 Fatty Acid Effects in T2DM After Acute High Intensity Exercise

The aim of this study was to verify the effect of a combined supplementation \[n-3 PUFA (known to induce anti-inflammatory effects) plus vitamin E (known for its antioxidant properties)\] on lipidic, glycemic, redox status and inflammatory parameters in type 2 diabetic patients. In addition, considering that exercise, at high intensities, can induce a transient inflammatory state and increase oxidative stress (OS) markers, the investigators tested if our nutritional intervention could attenuate this response within this population (thus, using high intensity exercise as inductor of acute inflammatory/OS state).
