This double blind randomized trial was realized in Colombia, where researchers from three different universities (San Buenaventura University, Pontificia Javeriana University, and Icesi University) joined forces in order to analyze the effects of
Sacha inchi oil on glucose metabolism after the ingestion of meals rich in saturated fat.
The addition of
sacha inchi oil slowed down glucose production in 16 (38.1 %) participants that showed a higher concentration of triglycerides before meals (fasting hypertriglyceridemia), whereas an improved expression of sirtuin - 1 (SIRT1), a gene responsible for regulating energy within the cells and coordinating cellular functions, was registered four hours after ingesting the meal enriched with
sacha inchi oil, and linked to lowered levels of blood sugar measured at the same time.
Enriching fatty meals with
sacha inchi oil can improve insulin sensitivity in people with high levels of triglycerides, as well as in those who experience blood sugar spikes after consuming fatty food.
