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.
