Anti-inflammatory nutritional approaches may attenuate obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance( Reference Oliver, McGillicuddy and Harford 1 ). However, results from randomised controlled trials are not entirely consistent( Reference Tierney, McMonagle and Shaw 2 , Reference Calder, Namanjeet and Fred 3 ), warranting increased focus on determinants of inter-subject variability particularly within young cohorts at high-risk. Baseline metabotype may partially discriminate responders from non-responders.

Metabolic effects of an anti-inflammatory nutritional supplement containing LC n-3 PUFA, vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols, were determined in overweight and obese adolescents (n = 58; mean (SD) age 15.9(1.6) y; BMI 32.1(6.5) kg/m2) by an 8-wk randomised, crossover, placebo-controlled intervention. Subjects who demonstrated >10% improvement in HOMA-IR were categorised as responders.

Anti-inflammatory nutritional supplementation selectively reduced HOMA-IR in40% of subjects (responders; supplement –32.05(18.02)% v placebo 13.13(54.09)%, p = 0.004).In comparison with non-responders, responding subjects demonstrated an adverse pre-treatment metabotype characterised by increased HOMA-IR, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol despite similar BMI (p = 0.001, p = 0.029, p = 0.024, p = 0.236, respectively). Stepwise multiple regression analysis confirmed baseline HOMA-IR, LDL:HDL ratio and CD163, as well as delta adiponectin and delta CD163as significant independent predictors of HOMA-IR response to anti-inflammatory supplementation (R 2 = 0.673, p < 0.001). On-going analysis is defining the molecular basis of the differential response.

These results demonstrate heterogeneity with respect to the insulin sensitising effects of anti-inflammatory nutritional supplementation. Despite similar BMI to non-responders, the insulin resistant and dyslipidaemic metabotype of responders enhanced the impact of anti-inflammatory nutritional approaches. This illustrates potential efficacy optimisation within the context of personalised nutrition. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01665742.
