LDLR and gestational diabetes: In agreement with such trial, the intake of ω-3 FAs from flaxseed oil (2 × 1000 mg/day, containing 400 mg α-linolenic acid, for 6 weeks) induced upregulation of PPARγ and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) genes and downregulation of IL-1 and TNF-α in PBMCs of subjects with gestational diabetes compared to placebo.
