Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Nowadays, docosahexaenoic acid is considered an effective substance for preventing and improving diabetes. Therefore, our goal was to review some previous trials related to the use of docosahexaenoic acid along with exercise on the heart tissue of diabetic patients.
Subjects & Methods: The present study is a descriptive review study that was conducted using several databases, including Google Scholar, Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed, and Scopus. It used the titles of diabetes and its types and related names for the keywords of diabetes heart, docosahexaenoic acid, and sports activities until the end of 2024.
Results: Focusing on the effects of DHA, which has been used in various studies, it can be said that many studies on the positive role of DHA in the heart tissue of diabetic patients include different methods and outcome measures, the vast majority of studies show the positive capacity of this supplement for diabetics. There are several proposed pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the effects of reduced activity on the function of various tissues in diabetic patients with different lesions.
Conclusion: Based on a review of various studies, this research can emphasize the fundamental role of docosahexaenoic acid in diabetic lesions in heart tissue, which should be considered.
