Are beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids on the consequences of a fructose diet mediated by PPAR delta or PGC1 alpha?
In liver, but not in heart, the fructose-enriched diet induces an early tissue-specific reduction in PPAR gamma and delta expression, which is insensitive to n-3 PUFA intake and dissociated from lipogenesis.
Cystatin C may be considered as an alternative and more accurate serum marker than serum creatinine or the Cockcroft and Gault estimated GFR in discriminating type 2 diabetic patients with reduced GFR from those with normal GFR.
