Sesame Oil Boosts Glycemic Control in Women With MASLD

TOPLINE:

In women with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), supplementing a calorie-restricted diet with unheated sesame oil, such as that used on salads or cooked meals, significantly improved biomarkers of glycemic control and insulin resistance.

METHODOLOGY:

  • Sesame oil contains compounds that attenuate inflammation by suppressing proinflammatory cytokines, potentially improving glucose and lipid metabolism; however, studies on its role in MASLD are limited.
  • Researchers in Iran conducted a clinical trial to investigate whether sesame oil supplementation influenced glycemic, metabolic, and stress biomarkers in women with MASLD (aged 20-50 years; BMI, 25-40) who regularly consumed sunflower oil.
  • After a 2-week run-in period on their usual diet, patients were randomly assigned to consume 30 g/d of either sesame oil or sunflower oil in unheated form for 12 weeks, alongside a weight-loss diet with a calorie deficit of 500 kcal/d.
  • Blood markers for glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and oxidative stress were measured at baseline and at 12 weeks.

TAKEAWAY:

  • Of 60 patients enrolled, 53 completed the study, 27 in the sesame oil group (mean age, 38.89 years) and 26 in the sunflower oil group (mean age, 39.35 years).
  • The sesame oil group experienced reductions in fasting blood glucose of 18.2 mg/dL, fasting serum insulin of 3.2 μIU/mL, and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance of 1.4 units; these reductions were significantly greater than in the sunflower oil group (P < .001 for all).
  • Markers of pancreatic beta cell function and glucose regulation improved significantly in patients in the sesame oil group; however, markers of inflammation and oxidative stress did not differ between the two groups.
  • Both groups achieved significant weight loss, with no differences between them.

IN PRACTICE:

“While both groups achieved significant weight loss, the superior glycemic improvements in the [sesame oil] group indicate effects beyond calorie restriction,” the authors of the study wrote.

SOURCE:

This study was led by Masoumeh Atefi, Shahroud University of Medical Sciences in Shahroud, Iran. It was published online in BMC Nutrition.

LIMITATIONS:

The study did not measure serum vitamin E levels, red blood cell fatty acid content, or serum A1c levels. Self-reported dietary intake might have introduced bias. Enrollment was restricted to women aged 20-50 years with a specified BMI, limiting generalizability.

DISCLOSURES:

The study received a grant from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. The authors reported having no competing interests.
