Effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on metabolically active hormones in patients post-myocardial infarction

This pilot study suggests that Omacor had little effect on glycaemic control among male post-MI patients. However, Omacor was associated with raised insulin levels, compared to usual care; thus, a metabolic basis for the cardioprotective action of Omacor, outside of its lipid lowering effects, merits further investigation.
