Seal oil may potentially help promote nerve regeneration in patients with type 1 diabetes

Recently, researchers from krembil neuroscience research center in Toronto found that seal oil could potentially help promote nerve regeneration in patients with type 1 diabetes In the article, the researchers said that when type 1 diabetes patients take omega-3 supplement from seal oil twice a day for 12 months, the length of corneal nerve fiber will increase significantly At the same time, the researchers also described the therapeutic effect of omega-3 supplement on the neurological symptoms of type 1 diabetes patients The research is published in the international journal Neurology Dr Evan Lewis, a neuroscientist, pointed out that there might not have been such an attempt before human beings, and the results from clinical trials (http:// may be very important and crucial for the later clinical trials in patients with diabetic neuropathy Diabetic neuropathy is a kind of nerve injury caused by diabetes The symptoms of different patients are not the same The symptoms include numbness, lack of consciousness, burning of hands and feet, persistent pain and walking difficulties Currently, there is no effective treatment to block or reverse the disease performance of patients In the text study, the researchers found for the first time that targeted nutrition interventions could block and reverse the damage of small fibers in patients' body; the researchers studied 40 patients, focusing on the length of corneal nerve fibers in patients, the cornea is located in the front of the eye, and the cornea has the highest nerve density in human body, these nerve injuries or missing angles Membrane nerve fiber is considered to be a biomarker of the development of type 1 diabetes In this study, researchers did not measure the visual recovery of patients The researchers investigated the effect of omega-3 seal oil supplement on corneal nerve structure The results showed that the average length of corneal nerve fiber increased by 29%, which is considered as a typical representative of the regeneration of other small nerve fibers in the body Lewis, the researcher, said that the results of this study show that the use of supplements may have potential neural regeneration effects Of course, our research goal is to collect sufficient evidence to carry out randomized clinical trials to confirm the corresponding research results In the next step, researchers will conduct phase III randomized clinical trials, and hope to clarify the effect of omega-3 supplementation on nerve regeneration through more in-depth research, and develop more new therapies to improve the symptoms of type 1 diabetes patients.
