The Role of Acute Combined Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPAR) Alpha and Gamma Stimulation on Insulin Action in Humans
Doctors are studying natural oils as potential therapies for type 2 diabetes. Animal studies
have suggested promising results using EPA (found in fish oils) to improve insulin action
and lower blood sugar levels.
PARTICIPATION INCLUDES: Participation in the studies includes taking study capsules for up
to 21 days, keeping a meal diary, and up to four overnight hospital stays. During the
hospital visits, an IV will be placed in each arm, and small amounts of muscle and fat
tissue will be removed (with minimal discomfort).
COMPENSATION: Compensation of $400 per study is provided (or up to $1,600 for completing all
studies)
