The Claim
Supplementation with sacha inchi oil at doses of 0.13–0.39 g/day for eight weeks in rats fed a high-fat diet and fructose-containing water is associated with significantly reduced hepatic triglyceride levels and suppressed mRNA expression of the lipogenic genes ChREBP, ACC1, and FAS.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In rats fed a high-fat diet with fructose water, daily sacha inchi oil supplementation for eight weeks reduces liver fat and lowers the activity of genes involved in fat production.
See the scientific wording
Supplementation with sacha inchi oil at doses of 0.13–0.39 g/day for eight weeks in rats fed a high-fat diet and fructose-containing water is associated with significantly reduced hepatic triglyceride levels and suppressed mRNA expression of the lipogenic genes ChREBP, ACC1, and FAS, suggesting a potential role in mitigating diet-induced hepatic lipid accumulation.
Omega-3 fatty acids from sacha inchi oil block the activation of a key fat-making switch in the liver, which turns down the production of enzymes that build triglycerides. At the same time, these fatty acids cause the breakdown of another enzyme that assembles triglycerides, leaving less fat stored in the liver.
What the research says
1 studyIn rats eating a fatty, sugary diet, giving them sacha inchi oil for eight weeks lowered fat buildup in their livers by turning down genes that make new fat — exactly what the claim says.
