Effects of Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) on Cardiovascular Disease on Diabetic Patients

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Registration Number
NCT01150292
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Aim: to determine the effects of DHA supplementation:

* on the platelet function through their aggregation and the pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism

* on redox status on cells and plasma

* on inflammation in 16 type 2 diabetic patients in a cross-over study comparing DHA (400 mg/day for 2 weeks) vs Sunflower oil (placebo). Each period is separated by a wash-out period of 6 to 9 weeks.

* first at the beginning of the first period

* second at the end of the period (2 weeks after beginning)

* third at the beginning of the second period

* fourth at the end of the period (2 weeks after beginning)
