Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Insulin Resistance: Focus on the Regulation of Mitochondria and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
Open accessAbstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress have been suggested to play a key role in insulin resistance development. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and lipid accumulation due to mitochondrial dysfunction seemed to be important mechanisms leading to cellular insulin resistance. Moreover, mitochondria are functionally and structurally linked to ER, which undergoes stress in conditions of chronic overnutrition, activating the unfolded protein response, which in turn activates the principal inflammatory pathways that impair insulin action. Among the nutrients, dietary fats are believed to play key roles in insulin resistance onset. However, not all dietary fats exert the same effects on cellular energy metabolism. Dietary omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been suggested to counteract insulin resistance development by modulating mitochondrial bioenergetics and ER stress. In the current review, we summarized current knowledge on the role played by mitochondrial and ER stress in inflammation and insulin resistance onset, focusing on the modulation role of omega 3 PUFA on these stress pathways. Understanding the mechanisms by which omega 3 PUFA modulates cellular metabolism and insulin resistance in peripheral tissues may provide additional details on the potential impact of omega 3 PUFA on metabolic function and the management of insulin resistance in humans.

Unsaturated fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, exhibit anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects.
“Dietary fat quality also has a significant influence, with unsaturated fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, exhibiting anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects [19].”
From Nutritional and herbal interventions for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a comprehensive review of dietary approaches, macronutrient impact, and herbal medicine in management (2025) · cites this paper as [19]
Section 5 describes omega-3 fatty acids’ anti-inflammatory action as established, but says their effect on insulin action remains controversial. It also reports that human intervention studies have not shown an insulin-sensitivity benefit in people with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance. The claim presents insulin sensitization more generally and confidently than the review supports. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn diabetic MASLD patients, severe insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress may impair the pathways through which omega-3 lowers TG, leading to failure of omega-3 therapy.
“However, in diabetic MASLD patients, severe insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress may impair these pathways, leading to the failure of omega-3 therapy.39”
From The Impact of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Triglyceride Levels in Patients with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials with Subgroup Analysis by Diabetes Status (2026) · cites this paper as [39]
Section 5 describes omega-3’s triglyceride-lowering and anti-inflammatory effects, while Sections 1 and 8 link insulin resistance with inflammation and oxidative stress. The paper does not say that these conditions impair omega-3’s triglyceride-lowering pathways or cause therapy to fail in diabetic MASLD patients. Its report of no insulin-sensitivity benefit in some human intervention studies concerns a different outcome. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
