Translational approach to establish the cardiometabolic health effects and mechanisms of action of fish nutrients: from animal models to obese insulin-resistant subjects
FY 2012-13
Summary
Few Canadians meet the weekly recommendations of fish consumption and thus intakes of not only n-3 PUFA but also of fish proteins and vitamin D are low in the general population and even lower in obese subjects. Moreover, many Canadians, especially obese subjects, have low (<50 nmol/L) or suboptimal (<75 nmol/L) serum concentrations of vitamin D. Low intake of those fish nutrients increase the risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The overall goal of this programmatic grant application is to investigate the effects and the mechanisms of action of fish peptides and vitamin D, along with fish omega3 fatty acids on cardiometabolic risk factors in animal models of obesity-linked T2D and CVD and in human obese subjects. We plan to use nutrigenomic and metabolomic approaches to study the individual responses to fish peptides and vitamin D interventions and to discover new gene/metabolite networks underlying these effects, and potentially novel biomarkers to predict the risk of T2D and CVD in obese subjects.

Abstract
Few Canadians meet the weekly recommendations of fish consumption and thus intakes of not only n-3 PUFA but also of fish proteins and vitamin D are low in the general population and even lower in obese subjects.

Low intake of those fish nutrients increase the risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The overall goal of this programmatic grant application is to investigate the effects and the mechanisms of action of fish peptides and vitamin D, along with fish omega3 fatty acids on cardiometabolic risk factors in animal models of obesity-linked T2D and CVD and in human obese subjects. We plan to use nutrigenomic and metabolomic approaches to study the individual responses to fish peptides and vitamin D interventions and to discover new gene/metabolite networks underlying these effects, and potentially novel biomarkers to predict the risk of T2D and CVD in obese subjects.
