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.
