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.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTFirst period DHA

400 mg DHA supplementation by day for 2 weeks during the first study period

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTSecond period DHA

400 mg DHA supplementation by day for 2 weeks during the second study period

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Platelet function induced by collagen4 blood sampling in 10 to 13 weeks4 blood sampling are made during the time of study which expand from 10 weeks (washout period of 6 weeks) to 13 weeks (washout period of 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)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of cellular and plasmatic redox status4 blood sampling in 10 to 13 weeksblood sampling are made during the time of study which expand from 10 weeks (washout period of 6 weeks) to 13 weeks (washout period of 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)
