A Brazilian study found that fish oil supplements reduced insulin resistance and inflammation in rats modeling non-obese type 2 diabetes. The research highlights a potential role for omega-3 fatty acids in cases where obesity is not a factor.

Researchers at institutions including the Butantan Institute gave Goto-Kakizaki rats fish oil three times a week for eight weeks. The dose equaled 2 grams per kilogram of body weight and contained specific amounts of EPA and DHA. Treated animals showed lower insulin resistance, improved blood sugar control, reduced inflammatory markers, and better cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Review finds GLP-1 drugs linked to lower risk of heart attack, stroke and death in high-risk patients

A large review of cardiovascular outcome trials found that people taking GLP-1 receptor agonists—drugs that include semaglutide (sold as Ozempic)—had a lower risk of major heart-related events than those given placebo. The analysis pooled results from 11 trials involving more than 90,000 participants, with an average follow-up of nearly three years, and reported benefits across patient subgroups including those with and without diabetes.
