Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Dietary fatty-acid
composition regulates lipids and lipoprotein metabolism and may confer CVD benefit. This …

The major advances in understanding the effect of dietary fatty acids on lipoprotein
metabolism have focused on n-3 PUFA. This knowledge provides insights into the …

Publisher Summary Conventional wisdom held that intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA)
increased plasma cholesterol levels whereas polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the diet …

Dietary fatty acids have a considerable effect on plasma LDL cholesterol (LDL-C)
concentrations and therefore on the risk for coronary heart disease. Numerous studies have …

Kinetic studies with tracers allow a better appreciation of the impact of specific dietary factors
on plasma lipid risk factors. However, additional studies are required to better document the …

Research dating back to the 1950s reported an association between the consumption of
saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and risk of coronary heart disease. Recent epidemiological …

It is now recognized that the amount and type of dietary fat consumed play an important role
in metabolic health. In humans, high intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has been …

Background: Dietary α-linolenic acid (ALA) can be converted to long-chain n− 3
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in humans and may reproduce some of the beneficial …

Background Replacing dietary saturated fatty acids (SFAs) with monounsaturated fatty acids
(MUFAs) lowers LDL cholesterol, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Objective …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Risk factors for
developing this disease include high serum concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides …
