I can't wait to see the results once they're done with the study. Never really been done before, or at least I can't find anything.

It looks like they've already completed participant recruitment for teh 18-45 yr. old group. I wonder why they had such a large age range for the "young" group? The other age group listed is 65-85.

The other thing I wonder about is one of the exclusion criteria are those preforming more than 1.5 hours of exercise per week. I'm guessing they did that b/c the older group might not be able to preform as many hours of exercise per week as the younger group. They also didn't specify what type of exercise was being done.

Nonetheless, this does look like an interesting study.

I also found another study in progress dealing with omega-3's and insulin sensitivity. They have found a correlation in animals, so I don't see why the human results would differ by much.

Dietary omega 3 fatty acid alters prostaglandin synthesis, glucose transport and protein turnover in skeletal muscle of healthy and diabetic rats.


"Diet did not alter basal glucose or amino acid transport in EDL muscle from healthy or diabetic rats. Insulin increased glucose and amino acid transport (P less than 0.0001); the increase in glucose transport by insulin was significantly greater in muscles of rats fed on high levels of omega 3 fatty acids (P less than 0.05). Epitrochlearis from rats fed on high levels of omega 3 fatty acids showed decreased net protein degradation in the presence and absence of insulin, owing to decreased rates of protein degradation and synthesis. The data suggest that high levels of dietary omega 3 fatty acids that alter muscle membrane composition also result in alterations in glucose transport and the metabolism of muscle protein."
