Effects of the ratio of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acid to saturated fatty acid on rat plasma and liver lipid concentrations

TL;DR: It appears that the PUFA/SFA ratio alone is unsuitable to predict the change of plasma C level, because a large amount of dietary MUFA may lead to an increase of plasma and liver lipids in rats.

Evidence-Based Guideline of the German Nutrition Society: Fat Intake and Prevention of Selected Nutrition-Related Diseases.

TL;DR: The aim of the guideline of the German Nutrition Society was to systematically evaluate the evidence for the prevention of the widespread diseases obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipoproteinaemia, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, coronary heart disease, stroke, and cancer through the intake of fat or fatty acids.

Intramuscular fatty acid composition of “Galician Mountain” foals breed: Effect of sex, slaughtered age and livestock production system

TL;DR: The data reinforced the evidence that foals from extensive production system on wood pasture have a higher nutritional quality when compared to concentrate-fed foals, as a result of the beneficial effects of grass on meat fatty acid profiles.

Exchanging carbohydrates for monounsaturated fats in energy-restricted diets: effects on metabolic profile and other cardiovascular risk factors.

TL;DR: The results suggest a protective effect of oleic acid on oxidative stress and SMC proliferation, two other important cardiovascular risk factors, even with energy restriction and weight loss.

Dietary indices of atherogenicity and thrombogenicity and ischaemic heart disease risk: the Caerphilly Prospective Study

TL;DR: It is concluded that proposed dietary indices of atherogenicity and thrombogenicity may be weak predictors of IHD risk, but that these scores are unlikely to be substantially better predictors than more simple approaches such as intakes of total saturates.

The diet and 15-year death rate in the seven countries study.

TL;DR: In 15 cohorts of the Seven Countries Study, comprising 11,579 men aged 40-59 years and "healthy" at entry, 2,288 died in 15 years, with all-cause and coronary heart disease death rates were low in cohorts with olive oil as the main fat.

Quantitative Effects of Dietary Fat on Serum Cholesterol in Man

TL;DR: It is shown that minimal levels of serum cholesterol were achieved with oils with an iodine number of about 100, and that more highly unsaturated oils were not more effective, which implies that monounsaturated acids are half as effective as the diene, linoleic acid, the primary polyunsaturated acid in vegetable oils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of effects of dietary saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids on plasma lipids and lipoproteins in man.

TL;DR: Results of this study show that oleic acid is as effective as linoleic acid in lowering LDL-C levels in normo-triglyceridemic patients, and oleoic acid seemingly reduces HDL-C Levels less frequently than does linolesic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum cholesterol response to changes in the diet: IV. Particular saturated fatty acids in the diet.

TL;DR: Least-squares analysis indicates that stearic acid, as well as saturated fatty acids containing fewer than 12 carbon atoms, have little or no effect on serum cholesterol in man and resolves heretofore puzzling discrepancies in the literature.

Effect of Dietary Stearic Acid on Plasma Cholesterol and Lipoprotein Levels

TL;DR: It is concluded that stearic acid appears to be as effective as oleic acid in lowering plasma cholesterol levels when either replaces palmitic Acid in the diet.
