وصف
The emerging model of obesity and diabetes is characterised by sub-acute chronic inflammation and insulin resistance. Mechanistic data indicates inflamed adipose tissue with increased infiltration of immune cells that generate pro-inflammatory cytokines. With childhood obesity in Ireland increasing at a rapid pace, it is important to establish the role of a non-pharmacological dietary approach to decreasing the sub-acute chronic inflammation seen in overweight and obese children. Several foods contain nutrients that are known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Such foods including fish, fruits and vegetables are known to be deplete in the adolescent diet. The aim of this project is to investigate whether a nutritional supplement containing anti-inflammatory nutrients, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (found in fish oil), vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols found in green tea and tomato; will improve metabolic phenotype in 13-18 year old teenagers over an 8-week period. Further, to provide insight into the role of genetics in the development of metabolic dysregulation and response to dietary treatment.
