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