Diacylglycerols (DAG) and ceramides have been suggested as early predictors of insulin resistance. This study was aimed to examine the combined effects of fish oil (FO) and grape seed extract (GSE) on hepatic endogenous antioxidants, DAG and ceramides in diet-induced early stages of insulin resistance. Thirty-five rats were fed one of the following diets: (1) a standard diet (STD group), (2) a high-fat high-sucrose diet (HFHS group), (3) an HFHS diet enriched with FO (FO group), (4) an HFHS diet enriched with GSE (GSE group) or (5) an HFHS diet enriched with FO and GSE (FO + GSE group). In the liver, endogenous antioxidants were measured using spectrophotometric and fluorometric techniques, and non-targeted lipidomics was conducted for the assessment of DAG and ceramides. After 24 weeks, the FO + GSE group showed increased glutathione peroxidase activity, as well as monounsaturated fatty acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing DAG, and long-chain fatty acid-containing ceramides abundances compared to the STD group. The FO and GSE combination induced similar activation of the antioxidant system and bioactive lipid accumulation in the liver than the HFHS diet without supplementation. In addition, the FO and GSE combination increased the abundances of polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing DAG in the liver.

Objectives: Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is highly correlated with the development of coronary artery and vascular disease in general. While dietary factors have been previously implicated in the causation of endothelial dysfunction, a purposeful change in dietary habits, coupled with the addition of several polyphenol-containing supplements, has not been studied for their effects on endothelial function, as measured by Peripheral Arterial Tonometry (PAT). Methods: 125 consecutive pts, aged 65-86, M:F ratio 3/2, with known vascular risk factors of HTN, DM, Hypercholesterolemia, hx of MI, Stent, CABG, were enrolled in a dietary program, which emphasizes large amts of leafy green vegetables, olive oil, radical reduction of grain, legumes, and fruits; and generous amts of animal proteins (Diet Evolution). All pts were instructed to take 2-4,000 mg of high DHA fish oil, 200mg of Grape Seed Extract, and 50 mg of Pycnogenol per day. All pts had Endothelial Reactivity (ER) using PAT before and after a 5-minute arm occlusion using the EndoPAT 2000 (Itamar, Israel) at baseline and at 6 months. Results: Baseline Endothelial Reactivity was 1.88+/-0.7 (range 1.0-3.3), with 90/125 pts (72%)having endothelial dysfunction (less than 1.60). At 6 months, ER increased to 2.25+/-0.5 (range 1.2-3.6) (p<0.01). Only 20/125 (16%) remained with ED, but all had increased ER numbers. Two pts stopped the polyphenols after a normal PAT; both developed ED on repeat PAT. Conclusions: We conclude that a limited grain, legume, fruit diet with emphasis on greens, olive oil and animal proteins with supplemental fish oil and polyphenols dramatically improves endothelial function in a group of high risk patients.
