The aim of this study was to determine whether plasma and red cell fatty acid levels were
associated with cardiovascular disease, and whether any association was independent of …

The intake of saturated fat was postulated to be the main environmental factor for coronary
heart disease. It was also postulated that the noxious effects of saturated fatty acids (FA) was …

The original cross‐cultural comparisons between Greenland Eskimos and Danes and
between Japan and Western countries suggested that a high fish intake was associated with …

We aimed to determine whether levels of plasma fatty acids are correlated with other
potential risk factors for cardiovascular disease, using a sample of patients from a cross …

The quality of dietary fat in relation to cardiovascular disease forms the basis of the diet-
heart hypothesis. Current recommendations on dietary fat now emphasise quality rather …

Epidemiological studies have confirmed a strong association between fat intake, especially
saturated and trans fatty acids, plasma cholesterol levels and rate of coronary heart disease …

The dietary fatty acids include saturated and unsaturated fatty acids of the n‐9, n‐6 and n‐3
families. Their quantity and quality are reflected in the plasma lipoproteins. The platelet and …

This review examines the role of high n-6 to n-3 ratio of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids in
the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease. From these analyses, the author proposes that …

Background Results from prospective cohort studies and randomized, controlled trials have
provided evidence of a protective effect of n− 3 fatty acids against cardiovascular diseases …

saturated fatty acids (PUFAs) lower cholesterol. 3, 4 More recent studies have shown that
long-chain n-3 fatty acids are hypotriglyceridemic and trans fatty acids are …
