Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Eye Blood Vessels in Type 1 Diabetes
Sponsor: University of Faisalabad
Summary
This double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial evaluates the effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on retinal vascular structure and function in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The study compares omega-3 supplementation with placebo to assess changes in retinal microvascular parameters, retinal blood flow, visual function, and systemic biomarkers over time, as well as the safety and tolerability of supplementation during the study period.
