| 1 | OBJECTIVE: To assess whether dietary linolenic acid is associated with fasting insulin and glucose. | alpha-Linolenic Acid | insulin | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | RESULTS: From the lowest to the highest sex-specific quartile of dietary linolenic acid, means +/- standard error for logarithmic transformed fasting insulin were 4.06 +/- 0.02 (reference), 4.09 +/- 0.02, 4.13 +/- 0.02, and 4.17 +/- 0.02 pM, respectively (trend, p < 0.0001), after adjustment for age, sex, energy intake, waist-to-hip ratio, smoking, and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. | alpha-Linolenic Acid | insulin | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | DISCUSSION: Our data suggest that higher consumption of dietary linolenic acid is associated with higher plasma insulin, but not glucose levels, in non-diabetic subjects. | alpha-Linolenic Acid | insulin | Homo sapiens |
